The Creed franchise is expanding beyond the silver screen and into the comic book realm with a new series set to release in June of 2023. The comic takes place ten years after the events of Creed III, with Adonis retired and his daughter Amara now an amateur boxing champion, CBR reports. However, the Creeds are reluctant to let her face truly dangerous opponents, leading Amara to search for another trainer to take her to the next level.
The comic series will see the return of Rocky Balboa as Amara's trainer, who is willing to defy Adonis's wishes to help her succeed. The series is being produced by BOOM! Studios, and main cover art and variant covers have already been revealed.

With the return of Rocky Balboa, the excitement and anticipation for this new chapter in the franchise are at an all-time high.
