PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Williams's third Super Pro K.O.volume is a love letter to wrestling's entertaining extremes, as an extremelylarge cast brawls (mostly) in the ring and (mostly) within the panels. Williamsdoesn't even try for realism, coming up with moves that should kill anyoneinvolved but just leave the characters coming back for more, launchingthemselves at both opponents and the reader's eyes. There's a loose plot aboutthe champion, noted "heel" King Crown, Jr., fighting against achallenger he once mocked early in his career, but the real draw here is seeingthe wrestlers whaling away at one another. The art takes Bryan Lee O'Malley'sScott Pilgrim style of dialogue box asides and text as physical objects andpushes it to 11, with lots of intricate illustrations, thick ink lines, and justa touch of anime inspiration. Readers whose taste aligns with the subject andartistry will be in for a treat.
