RINGSIDE is a series set within the world of
professional wrestling, written by JOSEPH KEATINGE (SHUTTER, GLORY, TECH JACKET)
and drawn by acclaimed illustrator NICK BARBER, combining the ensemble drama
approach of THE WALKING DEAD with interconnected rotating perspectives akin to
"The Wire." RINGSIDE explores the relationship between art and industry from the
view of the wrestlers themselves, the creatives they work with, the suits in
charge and the fans cheering them all on.
But
that's just the beginning.
The real violence
is outside the ring. Collecting issues 1 through
5.
Praise for
RINGSIDE:
"Keating and Barber's RINGSIDE is a
realistic peek behind the scenes and into the lives of several characters
connected to a glory-seeking world, but their lives are anything but glorious
and that's the compelling hook this issue sells so well." -

"RINGSIDE is a
realistic drama set in the world just outside the wrestling ring. Keatinge and
Barber present a modern-noir comic book that mixes gritty characters, realistic
situations and goes to the dark corners of life that people try to avoid. This
comic delivers a compelling first issue and the series promises to be a deep and
emotional ride. This is definitely worth picking up." --
