Ringside #8

From Image Comics' gritty pro-wrestling drama Ringside, issue #8 finds a brooding, long-haired man leaning against a wall plastered with wrestling event posters — arms crossed, expression heavy with what looks like quiet resignation or hard-won resolve. The cool blue palette washes over the scene beautifully, giving the moment a contemplative, almost melancholy weight that sets Ringside apart from flashier takes on the sport. Joe Keatinge, Simon Gough, Nick Barber, and Ariana Maher continue to bring real human texture to this world in 2016.
