Recently I decided to give reading comics another chance. I’ve been on hiatus since I was a kid, and ended up starting with “Do a Powerbomb” If you don’t already have this on your reading list I would highly suggest it. High flying action? Check. Over the top climax? Check. Heartfelt ending? Check. The art and story were awesome, and overall just really stoked about it!

    Cool. Is it fiction or based on a true story?

    I’m not much of a wrestling fan. But I do visit my local library often and borrow a few graphic novels each time. So much great stuff out there.

      It’s fiction / fantasy. I’m not a wrestling fan but I did enjoy it as a kid. I would say an interest in wrestling isn’t required at all to enjoy this one. It’s a pretty quick read so not a huge commitment by any means. I never thought about looking for graphic novels at the library, that’s a great idea!

        Cool yah. And I just looked for this at my library (in the US) and they don’t have a paper copy, but I can borrow it online via the app they subscribe called Hoopla.

        PSA: For all of y’all, Hoopla is a grrrrreat way to read comics and graphic novels on your phone or tablet, if the service is available to you. Check with your local library to see if they subscribe. Many do, in the US.

    I love Daniel Warren Johnson’s art, he’s currently the artist on Transformers, and it looks amazing. I’ll definitely check this one out.
