WWE Superstars #1: Money In the Bank (WWE, 1)

The art isn’t good & the story is a weird mix of actual wrestling history/storylines and goofy wrestlers having a day-job nonsense. I’d recommend either Volume 4: Last Man Standing if you enjoy complete comic goofiness or just read the new BOOM! Studio comics, which are a lot better, if you want stories actually based on real world wrestlers storylines/feuds.

This is like csi and their looking for the stolen money and the kidnapped aj lee and theirs only one person who did it you'll have to find out

I got this for my 10 year old son to get him to read more best purchase I made he loved it I will be buying the rest that come out

My son loved this book.

Well, am I surprised at how much I was captured by this story! I'm not a current wrestling fan and don't know who any of these wrestlers are in this book, though the book claims 25 are present. I was a big fangirl back in the days when it was called WWF and Hulk Hogan hadn't won the belt yet. I remember when Hulk and Andre the Giant first fought. Anywho... I found this story to be an exciting cross of many genres and just plain well-written. It takes place in the dark city streets of a corrupt city called Titan City, having classic noir flavour to it. It's a political themed crime as the players try to stop both equally corrupt DA runners from winning the election. The streets are filled with gangs, drugs, and violence and a team puts themselves together to fight the corruption and save Titan City both from the politicians and the criminal civil population. The story is quite involved with a huge cast that I'm going to recommend it for YA's (and adults). Speaking of the huge cast, I was only able to get a grip on the few major main characters but Foley has done an excellent job of keeping readers with the program. He continuously has characters refer to each other by name. Each chapter very briefly works "the story so far" into the opening pages. And personally, I think Foley held this intense story together quite tightly, making me interested in him as a writer. Finally, though the characters are wrestlers and when battles ensue they use wrestling attacks/moves against each other the story and team established in this first book distinctly has a superhero feel to it minus the costumes (though there are a couple such as wrestlers Kane & Mysterio) and superpowers. The art is slick and what one would expect to find in the major publishers, in fact Martinez has worked for both DC and Marvel, amongst others. A surprise hit for me!

Before you get all outraged, look, I'm kind of this book's target audience: I love comics, I love wrestling, I love the writer Mick Foley. But good God this in an incomprehensible mess.Basically, we take a bunch of wrestlers and they're in the real world, and they're real life cops, DAs, and of course vigilantes. And there's gangs, of course, run by Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman, Hornswoggle... the list goes on, and boringly. That's the problem: there's little cohesion and the story doesn't make a whole lot of sense.The art stinks too. Some characters look like the real people, others are so far off the mark it's ridiculous. The coloring doesn't help either, as backgrounds are essentially non-existent and we have just color in the back of the art.Maybe little, little kids will enjoy it cause it has their favorite wrestlers in it, but if you're over 10, just pass on it.

If the WWE had good writers how could take iconic characters, signature moves wrestling and in jokes I would probobly still be watching it. The trouble is in the WWE we know the wrestlers are playing characters so why not make the characters real in a a comic. Genius.John Cena has been arrested for stealing the $10,000,000.00 money in the bank brief case. after his release from jail he is determined to find out how set him up and the money to clear his name. Now the power players are set against him. The McMahons, Hayman, and Ortan. If you thought these guys were back stabbing and dangerous in the WWE then you have not seen anything yet. Also the people's vigilante and the people's hero Daniel Bryan are forming the owe team to fight the power. How will it all play out. Read enjoy and be a fan again.

Loved this book thought I would give it a try and wasn't disappointed, Wwe superstars and divas in an alternate world if they weren't wrestlers, a mystery story good read

I loved this - i'm newish to reading comics not done this since I was a kid and these could be addictive

Brilliant read for wwe/comic fans

Sehr genialer Comic.Super Illustrationen und der Character der WWE Stars den Sie in der WWE verkörpern wurde hier super 1zu1 in den Comic übernommen und auf ein "normales" Leben angepasst. So wird beispielsweise direct zu beginn der Character von John Cena erklärt der angeblich etwas getan haben soll wofür Ihn die halbe Stadt liebt und die andere Hälfte hasst.Einfach genial! Danke Mick Foley für dieses geniale Meisterwerk.

very good
