Trace Adkins … Is … Luke McBain!!!
[In movie trailer announcer guy voice]: In a world ... where corruption and greed sour the land ... and innocent families are left to pay the price ... only one man has the backbone to stand for what's right. He did 14 years for a crime he didn't commit. Now it's time for payback. Trace Adkins ... is ... Luke McBain!!!
You know all of his songs. You loved him on Celebrity Apprentice. Now you can read along as he smashes bad guys and stands tall for all that's right in the world. Trace Adkins will soon become the first country artist ever to be a fictional character in a comic book series. And of course he's a total badass. It's called Luke McBain, and there will be four issues of Adkins' character taking back his hometown in Louisiana after returning from a prison sentence. The publishing company says Adkins worked very closely with developers, so McBain reflects a lot of the singer's philosophy. I imagine that includes being the strong silent type, blowing stuff up and eventually winning the hearts and minds of the people that once shunned him. It comes out in November wherever fine comic books are sold.

faycraft says:
Great News! I look forward to reading these comic books. Trace as an action hero; WOW should be entertaining.
ThenCameTheNight says:
I have to admit … these will be the first comic books I have purchased/read in years… but I won’t miss them!
Brenda says:
I also haven’t bought a comic book in so many years, but will be searching to find the series. Trace will make a great action hero.
Dolly says:
This is SOOOOOO EXCITING! The people who choose Trace Adkins to do this series of comic books are brilliant!
So happy for Trace that he is having the opportunity to show his versatility and talents at even another medium!
GO TRACE GO!
By the way whoever is printing these comic books better consider doing twice as many as they think they should because there are a load of Trace Adkins fans out there right now and especially after saw him on the Donalds “Apprentice” show. He won over a lot of new fans. And it continues to escalate with every endeavor he conquers! Gotta love one real American man named, “Trace Adkins”! What a success story he is writing!
Valerie says:
Cool like Trace Adkins!
AUNT says:
I’M A LITTLE OLD FOR COMIC BOOKS, BUT THIS IS ONE I WILL BE BUYING!!! CAN’T WAIT!
TierraStudios says:
A comic book is very interesting, where did the idea come from?
Redmaz says:
Have you ever watched him sing? There’s the answer.
Asheville Trace Fan says:
Outstanding! I can’t wait ’til these come out and will be first in line to purchase. Now, if my local radio station would just play the singles he releases (instead of one out of every 3 or 4), I’d be really happy. The man can flat sing, and his range is amazing.
connie says:
What a wonderful idea this is can’t wait !!!
Nadine says:
Everything Trace does is geat. Can not wait. Never bought a comic book before but I will be first in line for these.
meow4564 says:
now we need a movie with trace based on his comic book.
Joan says:
Can’t wait to read this, I’m a little old for comic books but as long as Trace flashes his sexy smile it will be a hit. Keep it up Trace.
Deb says:
This is really good. It’s a play off of Luke McCain, “The Rifleman” right? I wonder if he’ll carry a semi-automatic rifle (or guitar in his case) and be the righter of wrongs. I love Trace.
Linda says:
I agree with a lot of you I have not read or ever bought a comic book, but I am calling my book store & putting in my order!
I love everything Trace does!
Trace is finaly getting the fame he has deserved for years.
kjtax says:
I love this new “side” of Trace’s talents. This looks like it is going to be lots of fun. I also haven’t ever bought a comic book but will definately be looking for these. This is a great way to broaden Trace’s fan base…look what Apprentice did for him. Good Luck Trace I hope they do make a movie out of Luke McBain. How about an action figure also.
JoAnn says:
Trace in a comic book? What a great idea!
Luke McBain lunch box or thermos anyone?
KATHY says:
I agree that they will be sellouts. He and my husband and I grew up in same hometown. Way to go Trace!
Alice says:
Ironman watch out! Here comes Trace. Great idea. I never thought I would buy a comic book, but never say never. Go Trace!
Midge Wheeler says:
I will have my grandson get this Comic Book for me. Way to go Trace! Can’t wait for what you might do next.

Nivasi says:

AzTraceFan says:
I can’t wait to see this, definately something for my collection.
Are they taking suggestions for another venture? How about Trace posing shirtless for the romance books? lol
JullovesTrace says:
FAR OUT!!! Trace is so awesome. He will make one hell of a superhero! He is definately my superhero. He’s got everything a hero should have! Plus lots of style, class and a great aura!!! You go, Trace. I’ll be watching for the comic. I will own it as well as anything else you may do! Way to go…
