As a lifelong wrestling fan, I adored this story. I couldn’t put it down as I needed to know if the heist succeeded and how all the various aspects and players fit into the plan. I love a good heist story on its own and it was definitely heightened by making it centered around wrestling.
Some of the storylines are definitely ripped from the headlines but they’re used in a new and compelling way. As well, some of the visual depictions are VERY on the nose (let’s just say I’m NOT a Buddy Hansen girl).
The dirt sheet pages were a perfect and hilarious touch.
Without getting into specifics, the feeling you get at the end of the story is like how you feel after watching a fantastic match - satisfied, fulfilled and elated.
Thank you to NetGalley and Image Comics for the opportunity to read and review.
