Reviews for Super Pro K.O.: Gold for Glory
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)
