Ringside

 I found “Ringside” after searching around for other comics by the creators of “Shutter.” To winnow “Ringside” down to an unfair level, its a touching story about a mentor and his pupil looking to reach pro wrestling stardom. An engaging mix of tragic hope, love, and betrayal playing out in an unforgiving profession.

 🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼🤼/10 (and I don’t know a gotdamn thing about wrestling)

PS- Not meeting your heroes is a good idea comics-wise. Joe Keatinge is an exception, super nice guy, he gave me a pin of the cat from “Shutter” after I said I’d lost mine (which I’ve since lost as well). 10/10
