PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Williams's third Super Pro K.O. 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)
