Review: Over the Ropes #1

“Everywhere I go it’s the same question… ’Wrestling? You know it’s fake, right?’”
That is how the main character of “Over the Ropes”, from Mad Cave Studios, introduces himself.

Jason is an up-and-coming young Wrestler who thinks he is ready and deserves a shot at the Big-Time. He’s tired of living in the shadow of his Mega-Star boss and his obnoxious son, so when an opportunity to make a name for himself arises, he jumps at it…but not in the way he is expected, thanks to some “free advice” from a new friend.

If you are, or have ever been a fan of Professional Wrestling, then “Over the Ropes” is for you. It’s an unblinking look behind the scenes at the lives of the people who portray those Extraordinary Characters who inhabit the Ring, all for our entertainment.

Although the story is set in a fictional world, writer Jay Sandlin makes each character feel like a real living person. The story moves along at a nice pace and there is plenty of action.

Artist Antonello Cosentino breathes life into the characters and settings with his clean lines and realistic perspective and anatomy. His panels are dynamic and move the story along.

The colorist, Francesco Segala, manages to capture just the right mood for each panel, changing his palette as he sees fit throughout the book.

This is an excellent example of what a “First Issue” should accomplish. I definitely recommend “Over the Ropes”

Join Me in a Weekly Look at the rise of DC Comics

Like most DC Comic fans, we think it all started out with the famous “Action Comics” you know the one with Superman holding up the car. But that’s not the case, it was a being known as Krona. Krona was a renegade immortal that dared to look for answers to the beginning of Time itself, and through his beguilement, evil was unleashed into the DC Universe. And if it were not for this obsession there would be no stories to tell… a world with no evil is boring! A comic book needs a Good VS. Evil story like Batman and The Joker or Superman and Lex Luther.

DC Comic’s brilliant writers and artists began building a Universe that would span decades enthralling readers with unbound imagination. It was a new world and writers began building a complex Universe filled with unimaginable superheroes and dastardly villains. Writers brought to life a world that fans wanted to be a part of… men with abilities of super-strength, x-ray vision and a foundation for Justice and then there were the unique cities like Metropolis, Gotham City, Star City, Midway City, Gateway City and more.

Comic Books began in the 1930’s when the Great Depression had begun, andAdolf Hitler was on the rise to power in Germany. With the threat of a war is on the horizon Americans eagerly sought a distraction and that distraction came in the form of Pulp Magazines. Fans eagerly embraced Pulp Magazines following stories starring the classics like The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Phantom.

Pulp Magazines ruled the roost in the 1930’s. But, in 1932 Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster publishers of Science Fiction wrote a story in their third issue about a poor Joe Shmoe who gained mental powers and began to take over the world, entitled “The Reign of Superman.” Siegel and Shuster would continually revamp the story and soon our beloved hero would have a better story, an orphaned son from a distant world with superhuman abilities.

Actual comic books sized smaller than Pulp Magazines came into existence when salesman M. C. Gaines realized that the “funnies” could be folded up into a more kid-friendly size, roughly seven by ten inches. The very first comic book was born, Funnies on Parade.

In 1934 prolific writer for Pulp Magazines, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson founded National Allied Publications. The company published new comic books, but it did not take off right away and the company would limp along until the birth of legends Superman and Batman at the end of the decade.

Up Next Week…. 1935 Launch of “New Fun” comic book.

Marvel Comics Delivers in Morbius, The Living Vampire #1 with Chills and Shocking Enthusiasm

Morbius The Living Vampire is reborn in an all-new comic book published by Marvel Comics, written by Vita Ayala and artwork provided by the talented Marcelo Ferreira. In an all-new chilling story Morbius has returned and he’s taking no prisoners… "When greed and lust for power lead you to abandon virtue, he will be there." - Marvel Comics

Vita Ayala and artist Marcelo Ferreira transport readers into a dark and evil world in Morbius The Living Vampire. Writer Ayala keeps Michael Mobius’s origins true to the character, a scientist born with a blood-disorder searching for a cure and using himself as a test subject makes a horrible mistake and disaster ensues. 

 

Morbius isn’t a villain, although he disburses a rather savage justice it is never used on innocent people. In his search to find a cure Morbius will find evil… evil that his conscience compels him to make right and allows him to satisfy a hunger that never ceases.

Morbius The Living Vampire is not the typical vampire depicted in today’s youth-oriented world, not a heartthrob with sparkly skin, he is a dark and terrifying monster. Vita Ayala conveys Morbius’s gut-wrenching mental state, knowing he is a monster who may never find a cure. Marcelo Ferreira’s vivid artwork enhances Ayala’s story as each panel captivates you taking over your senses, inspiring you to continue reading about Morbius The Living Vampire and his journey to become human once again.

 

Morbius The Living Vampire is really great story and I am putting it at the top of my Pick’s of The Week list… Morbius is currently in stock at White dragon Comics. Online shoppers can find Morbius comic books and several more comics like Morbius, The Living Vampire at White Dragon Comics Supernatural Anti-Hero Comic Books page.
