SNEAK PEEK: Rocko’s Modern Life #1 – Preview the First Issue of the Comic

Turn the page, wash your hands. Turn the page, wash your hands. This week, new comic book day brings the nostalgia with Rocko’s Modern Life #1 from KaBOOM!, an imprint of BOOM! Studios. If you’re not in the know, BOOM! and Nickelodeon have teamed up to revive the 90’s by turning some of their most beloved Nicktoons into comics. They started with Rugrats back in October, and now the Rocko’s Modern Life series is about to hit comic shops everywhere.

To bring this lovably anxious, totally weird wallaby to life, they’ve called upon a seriously awesome team of writers and artists who are Nick fans themselves. Rocko’s Modern Life #1 feels like it could pick up where the cartoon left off many years ago. Writer Ryan Ferrier stays true to the tone, the jokes, and the overall chaos of the original series. As people who grew up loving the show, it was a total blast to read.

For those of you who’ve never experienced the amazingness of Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt before, you’re in for a treat! This series picks up at a new chapter in Rocko’s life – he’s laid off from his job at the call center, and the series follows just how far he’ll go to be able to put a roof over his head and food in Spunky’s bowl. 

Rocko’s Modern Life #1 re-introduces fan-favorite characters and even brings in Chalmers, a new roommate who lives to party. He’s your stereotypical rowdy bro, and we just can’t think of anyone better to bring a hardcore party sloth to life than artist Ian McGinty. There are a ton of awesome variant covers to collect for this first issue, so be sure to hit your local comic shop on December 6th to pick up your copies. In the meantime, enjoy the first few pages of the issue below.

Rocko’s Modern Life #1 – PREVIEW:
