A fun read and great art, WWE #9 (BOOM! Studios) boasts its winning combination thanks to its over-the-top mayhem and wrestling theatrics. Readers will either fall in love or end up hating Roman Reigns after they end up getting a Superman punch of their own!

Roman Reigns has fended off all challengers before, especially during the start of his Championship run. But will the rising Roman Empire be able to handle anything and still survive? Can Reigns hold his own against the Wyatt Family?

Here are 5 reasons why you should read WWE #9

5) Cheers of the Crowd!

Writer Dennis Hopeless focuses on the the meaning behind the cheers and the boos of the crowd. Does the loud applause and jeers of the crowd have an effect on the wrestler? Does a professional wrestler need the approval of the crowd in order for his career to thrive?

4) Best Car Chase Ever!

Artist Serg Acuña does a great job illustrating the emotional impact of the flashbacks. In the present, Roman tries not to let the crowd’s boos affect him during the match. In the past, Roman was just a child when he witnessed the front-row crowd turn against their hero.

3) The Trippy Colors!

Colorist Doug Garbark does a great job setting the vibrant tones for each flashback. Notice how the palette feels faded because it’s a part of Roman’s memory. The present day is richer and brighter in blue tones.

2) The Guest Stars!

Be on the lookout for Macho Man and Rikishi inside the installment! I love how their cameos are more than just appearances and serve the flashbacks.

1) Easy And Attractive!

If you love Roman Reigns as much as I do, WWE #9 is such an easy and attractive read to dive into! This is quite possibly my favorite issue of the series!
