Fence Breakthrough: Game Changer is a new Fence series from creators C.S. Pacat and Johanna the Mad with issue 1 coming from Boom Studios in July 2025. Fence focuses on Nicholas Cox, the illegitimate son of U.S. fencing Olympic champion Robert Coste, who aspires to become a fencing champion like his father. Despite being talented, he's roughly trained due to the hard conditions he grew up in. While at a competition, he's quickly beaten by the fencing prodigy Seiji Katayama and Nicholas vows to beat him. Managing to get into the elite boys school Kings Row on scholarship, Nicholas quickly finds out that Seiji is his roommate.

The comic book was first published by Boom Studios in 2017 from their Boom! Box imprint. The original mini-series jumped to an ongoing one, before switching to graphic novels in 2018, with the first graphic novel in 2020. However, in 2023, they switched back to serialisation with Fence: Redemption. They also span off two prose novels, by Sarah Rees Brennan.
