Writer Dennis Hopeless crafts an epic coming-of-age tale that takes place within the wrestling industry. In the narrative, Seth Rollins is ambitious enough to reach to the top. Seduced by fame and fortune, Seth’s hubris will be his own tragic downfall.
4) The Prologue!
In Prologue, artist Dan Mora depicts the Shield members at their prime. In an epic splash page, the jaw-dropping into 16 eye-catching panels. The collage tells an entire story in itself; how Seth helplessly watches the beating of his brothers. Hopeless’ story revolves around this emotional moment; Seth may turn into a heel, but deep down inside, he loves his brothers.

As the chapters continues, artist Serg Acuña illustrates the rise and fall of Seth’s road to the WWE championship. Acuña focuses on the psychical anguish and mental exhaustion Seth has to deal with in and out of the ring. During the matches, I love the way Seth’s movements, with his kicks and jumps, appear superhuman.
2) The Guest Stars!
Be on the lookout for Brock Lesner, Kofi Kingston and his New Day teammates, Big E and Xavier Woods!
1) An Enjoyable Read!
