Super Pro K.O. by Jarrett Williams
In the rough and tumble world of Super Pro K.O., professional wrestling is no joke. With contenders of every kind battling for glory on a nightly basis, there's tons of drama inside and outside the ring! Current SPKO champion and arrogant heel King Crown Jr prepares for a match against mysterious newcomer Bad Bad Butch O'Rowdy, who may care more about settling a personal score with Crown than the title itself. Meanwhile, hotshot Joe Somiano is getting used to the spotlight as his career takes off, but will it be stopped with the arrival of baseball superstar turned wrestler Romeo Colossus?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Williams's third Super Pro KO. volume is a love letter to wrestling's entertaining extremes, as an extremely large cast brawls (mostly) in the ring and (mostly) within the panels. Williams doesn't even try for realism, coming up with moves that should kill anyone involved but just leave the characters coming back for more, launching themselves at both opponents and the reader's eyes. There's a loose plot about the champion, noted “heel” King Crown, Jr., fighting against a challenger he once mocked early in his career, but the real draw here is seeing the wrestlers whaling away at one another. The art takes Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim style of dialogue box asides and text as physical objects and pushes it to 11, with lots of intricate illustrations, thick ink lines, and just a touch of anime inspiration. Readers whose taste aligns with the subject and artistry will be in for a treat. (July)
