Final bodyslamming issue of the "darkly comedic wrestling tragedy that doubles as a road trip story, taking aim at racism and corporate greed along the way." (comicbook.com). Fugitive wrestler Shane is counting on his mask to get him through Fan Slam 5-where everyone angry at him, betrayed by him, looking to use him, and/or seeking to arrest him is also headed. Featuring the usual mix of AHOY backup stories and illustrations!
