‘Invasion From Planet Wrestletopia’ is a Good Look for Wrestling Fans

Writer: “Masculine” Matt Entin, Edward “the Carnage Artist” Kuehnel / Artist: Dan “the Body” Schkade / Suspicious Behavior Productions Off the strength, you can tell this is a book by wrestling fans for wrestling fans. “Masculine” Matt Entin, Edward “the Carnage Artist” Kuehnel, and Dan “the Body” Schkade tag together to deliver a grizzled tale of late 80s wrestler Rory Landell. Rory is a heel (villain) working the circuit and is ready to win the championship in the territory he’s been working. We get to see him preparing behind the scenes and practicing cutting a promo. Rory may be a villain in the writing but Kuehnel and Entin do a great job of making him a likable character off the jump.

We’re only a few pages in and Rory runs into politics keeping him from getting the championship title. As good as Rory is, being a heel means he won’t draw folks in like his opponent who is a face (good guy). This is what sets Rory off and has him refusing to be pigeon-holed. Mind you, during his conversation with the promoter a giant bear is wrestling in the ring preparing for its match. Hilarity. Later that night Rory cuts a promo declaring himself the intergalactic champion which is what sets the events of this series in motion. That signal gets broadcasted light years away and Rory is going to have a challenger on his hands for that title… a giant challenger. For real this alien dude is really trying to throw hands over that claim. Who’s ready for some wrasslin? What I dig about…
