WWE: NXT Takeover: The Blueprint #1

Sep 4, 2018

This is a fabulous start to a mini-series featuring the fresh faces of WWE's developmental brand, NXT. The talent in NXT is second to none and has catapulted green newbies into superstars. Dusty Rhodes takes on a backstage tour, introducing us to talent that would soon become household names. Great writing, fun art, and characters that we all know and now love.

WWE: NXT Takeover: Redemption #1

Sep 26, 2018

This NXT miniseries has been fantastic, and this conclusion is stellar. It leaves me wanting more NXT, which I can watch any time I want on the WWE Network. Aleister Black is a piece of art himself, and his story portrayed in comic book panels is proper. The team at BOOM! Studios has done the NXT brand the justice it deserves.

WWE: NXT Takeover: Proving Ground #1

Sep 12, 2018

Samoa Joe is no joke. His focus has always remained the same: a championship belt. It's doesn't matter who he has to step over to get it, either. He didn't come to this business to be liked, he came to win.Captivating storytelling and powerful art give the Samoa Joe story the justice it deserves.

Jul 19, 2018

With all of the chaos that they have caused, perhaps the Kevin & Sami Show will be canceled... while, yes, as a WWE fan, I know how this story ultimately plays out, I'm curious as to what downtime shenanigans these two will get into.

Sami Zayn is finally getting a chance to shine, even if it is at the expense of his best friend. It's deserved, though, considering how Kevin Owens has been treating him.A solid end to the Kevin & Sami Show with great storytelling and fun artwork. As always, another stellar book from BOOM! Studios.

Another fun set of short stories featuring our favorite WWE Superstars of the past and present.
