i haven't seen anyone post about this yet here but today a new comic series was announced that joe was a part of! it's called holy roller and issue #1 will be available november 22nd.
It's not every day that a publisher announces a new comic co-written by comedian Andy Samberg and Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman. But that's what happened at Comic-Con, as Image Comics revealed the first details about Holy Roller.
Billed as a cross between Kingpin, Inglourious Basterds and Batman, Holy Roller is a darkly comedic superhero series about a bowling ball-wielding vigilante. He'll have to bowl the perfect game when his hometown becomes overrun by Neo-Nazis.
[...]
“If you have ever found yourself wondering, ‘Why is there no comic book about a vigilante hero who smashes people's faces in with a bowling ball?’ you are in LUCK, bruv!" said Samberg.
Trohman added: “This is an intensely personal book that will resonate with all. A hyper-stylized yarn, but informed by the bleak reality we’ve all come to know. It’s also your one-stop-shop for a bad-ass Jewish guy kicking, punching, and bowling-balling Neo-Nazis into oblivion!”

Newsomberg Fact - 10th Anniversary Countdown Edition #8:
Sticking with the theme of 'Lee', Andy has been very open about what a "heavy" and "intense" experience it was for him to shoot scenes that documented Lee Miller and Davy Scherman's horrific discovery of the atrocities at Dachau.
It would have been impossible to recreate something that harrowing without experiencing trauma that lasted long after the shoot had ended.
This is why Joanna encouraged him to find carthasis in creativity, which he eventually did by means of an unusual project - namely, the creation of a Jewish vigilante superhero who annihilates Nazis, using... his skills as a pro bowler.
Like so much of Andy's work, the apparent absurdity of the premise is only half the story, with 'Holy Roller' already being described as "a hilarious and poignant story… told from a place of real passion".
And, for the rest of us, it's also a welcome opportunity to see Neo-Nazi scumbags get hit in the face with bowling balls.
