Do a Powerbomb
by Daniel Warren Johnson
Do a Powerbomb is exactly why I love comics.
The thing is in comics you can make the weird, crazy, zanny ideas really work when you have heart in it. And this book does just that.
After losing her mother, Lona wants to get into the world of wrestling like her mom. But there's things stopping up from getting there, and even more so, she is eventually invited to a world of magic where if you win the wrestling matches you can make a wish to bring back someone from the dead. Her, along with her mysterious tag team partner, work together to try and bring back her mom.
This is a fantastic, heartfelt, funny, and gorgeous looking book. The fights are so over the top, brutal at times, and flow with such energy you'd swear you were watching a TV show. The motivation behind Lona makes so much sense and the reveals work even better. You really root for her while the people she takes on all have legit reasons to also fight for the prize.
It looks great, it feels great, and it just might be my favorite Daniel warren Johnson title, and that's saying a lot.
A 5 out of 5.
