New CM Punk Shirt Featuring Art from Jill Thompson

A few hours before Wrestlemania 29 hit the airwaves on Sunday evening, there was buzz going around various in-the-know wrestling sites saying he had a new t-shirt planned to debut at the event. Sure enough Punk came out to face the Undertaker and revealed a nifty new shirt featuring himself in comic art format.

I was so caught up in the magic Undertaker and CM Punk produced during their match that I completely overlooked that the shirt featured the art of Jill Thompson. Thompson is known from her work on the book Beasts of Burden and she has designed a few WWE shirts previously for superstar Daniel Bryan.

It shouldn't come as a shock though as CM Punk is very well known as a huge comic fan and even teased a few years ago that he could be coming into Marvel writing his own comic with Thompson taking on art duties. Nothing has come of that yet, but he did pen the forward in the recently released Avengers vs X-Men hardcover. Maybe he could come up with something using a title of one of his nicknames, "The Second City Saint."
