When I say that no wrestling fan should miss Do A Powerbomb, that isn't hyperbole, though I would also say those who aren't as familiar with the wrestling world will find plenty to enjoy through its strong characters and compelling storytelling, and perhaps you'll find yourself intrigued by professional wrestling when all is said and done.

Do a Powerbomb #1 is a delight thanks to the riveting art and exceptional sports narrative. Do a Powerbomb has a ton of heart and the firepower action audiences crave. Read Full Review

I love wrestling, and I love wrestling comics that clearly share that love, embracing the spectacle and the sacrifice without feeling the need to poke fun or roll eyes at its more eccentric qualities. More than just a series of flashy spots though, this series also shows some much-needed psychology, adding a generous dose of that vital personal drama to the mix. Simply put, if you're a wrestling fan, or just love kick-ass artwork, this is an absolutely essential purchase. Read Full Review

A personal passion writ large as a universal myth. Do A Powerbomb is the kind of unrestrained indie gem that makes me a comic fan. Read Full Review

Do a Powerbomb! #1 is a hell of a lot of fun. That's amazing to say considering the sadness within but it's a fantastic start that mixes the over the top visuals and characters of wrestling with drama. It has the highs and lows of it all captured in a single issue. It's a fantastic ride that has me pumped to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

Johnson clearly has his heart in the right place with an epic heroic adventure for the mat, but there are so many ways that a story like this could fall into inadvertent comedy if hes not careful. The supernatural might feel perfectly at home in the wrestling ring. Still, it could just as quickly become very, very silly as is apparent by some of the tone that seems to overcome art and script when the whole reality of the premise begins to sink in.

I really believe this book is gonna be the next breakout hit from Image. Don't miss your chance to get in on the ground floor and oh yeah, IT'S AWESOME!!! Read Full Review

An enjoyable issue with enthusiasm about big time puroresu action and action-oriented art, even if it can't quite seem to decide whether its subject is "real" or not. Read Full Review

"Do a Powerbomb" #1 is a gorgeous but rushed opening issue. Read Full Review

Daniel Warren Johnson doing what he does best.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my pick of the month. Holy moly was this first issue incredible. Knocks you sideways with the heavy emotions, while still keeping your eyes moving with the vibrant, rough-edged action. I may just have to read this two more times before I put it in its sleeve. What a knock-out book.

I love wrestling, I love DWJ and I love this issue.

DWJ delivers another heartfelt story, as has become the trademark for his Image releases.

Looks like another home run from Daniel Warren Johnson. It's big, bombastic action centered on a core full of heart and down-to-earth drama.

As a fan of both wrestling and comics everything here hits so hard for me

While this is a little packed, it's all great and it's done so to set the stage for what's to come. As a massive wrestling fan, this is a lot of fun. The story here is full of heart and emotion, and I can already tell that Johnson's always outstanding and unique art is going to fit right in with the wrestling of this book.

Absolutely top level story telling!

The art is strong but a little busy. Sometimes seems messy and not in the sense that's not his style, it clearly is but a few strokes seem to be left on the page that could get cleaned up. It's a sweet story, with an impactful opening. Simple hero's journey beginning. I'm just not big on wrestling at all so it's not really my cup of tea in terms of the action department.

Johnson blew my mind with "Murder Falcon," focusing on isolation, regret, anger, love, acceptance & overcoming the toughest of obstacles, so I was elated to hear that he was doing another limited series. And boy! was I impressed. As someone who doesn't dabble in the wrestling realm, DO A POWERBOMB delivers a decent introduction into a story fueled by beautiful art, interesting family dynamic, and a mysterious supernatural element & character that will be further explored throughout the series. It has a similar set up to Murder Falcon where the first issue feels somewhat simplistic. You have your traditional set up for character arcs, introduction of a supernatural element to spice things up, and what have you. Where this issue differs is in its ending. Murder Falcon began a story that felt very expansive but ended up being a deeper & more personal story. Do A Powerbomb flips it. It feels personal but the implications of what our protagonist ends up doing could have a wider impact on the world of this story. Or at least I hope it does. Overall, a solid first issue. Story set up works, artwork is superb...as usual, and I appreciate the introduction of Mr Necroton. Fun first issue. more

why did she not put her hands down to protect her fall

I read this right after Crimson Cage.
What a drop off in wrestling comic quality.
No stakes. Nothing I care about. And I love the subject matter.
Huge let down.
