Chapter 05-Page 28-Under Pressure
Lots of work ahead of everyone and now everyone is under pressure, like a certain Queen song. Gabrielle is telling them that they HAVE to win, failure is not an option if you’ll pardon the cliche. Can the Upstarts rise to the occasion? And Rival Angels for sale? Say it isn’t so!
And we come to the end of another chapter. Only THREE more to go!
Color Help
More color help, this time from Kay King. I’ve known Kay for a long time and even had commissioned her a time or two on Rival Angels. Be sure to check out her wonderful work over at her website.
Ringo Awards
It looks like the Ringo Awards are accepting nominations and is open to everyone. Exercise your right to vote, and if you feel like a certain Lady Wrestling Webcomic should be up for consideration, here’s your chance. There’s a lot of choices, but the one that would fit Rival Angels best would be BEST WEBCOMIC. 😉 Thanks!!

Crazy to hear there are only three chapters left. I knew this series was wrapping up soon but to hear it like that it’s just like…wow.
I feel like I’ve been reading this comic for a LONG time. I just want to take the time to say thanks to you Alan for everything you’ve put into this comic over the years, it’s been very enjoyable and I’m happy to say I have all the books out so far and will want to complete the set when it’s all said and done.
Looking forward to the final three chapters of this story, lets enjoy the ride!
Thanks, man! I have to confess that while there are only 3 chapters left, it’s going to still take me a year to do them so we definitely got time. 🙂
Thanks for reading and your support. I really appreciate it.
Oh jeez, hopefully it’s not like the Punk/Gall fight. 🙁
You realize you just jinxed it, right? XD
A movie title is flashing in my mind: THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
One way or the other, most definitely. There will be highs, lows, celebrations and vows of revenge.
I’ve actually wondered in your world how you differentiate the skillset of pro wrestling vs mma, given that pro wrestling includes striking as well as grappling and is an actual sport. It is for all intents MMA in this context, just with some high flying and periodic outside interference. 🙂
I think on the surface, the big difference is the presentation. Rival Angels being legit/real isn’t much removed from MMA at least in intent. It’s really just a few rules and the presentation. However, I do believe I have found a good way to portray the differences when we see Mercy vs. Krystin next month.
Gabrielle is going to need a MAJOR spa weekend after this
And you can bet that she will take it, all the while attached to her phone, hoping to mitigate any potential disasters.
Let’s see, setup to the “Oh my god, they killed Kenny!” storyline and confirmation that Gabrielle Reni is actually Dixie Carter and we’re at the point that
TNARival Angels has to sell to the Owl Men to stay alive.Too bad Sister Nero and the Broken Sun couldn’t save the day.
That’s next chapter.
Wait. These aren’t title matches, are they? Could they lose their belts to a rival company? I mean, BRA is asking to go against the Angels who are champions, not the Angels with longer careers like Brenda Rua or the Catgirls.
This very question is addressed on Page 1 of the next chapter. 😉 I can say though that Brenda and the Catgirls aren’t on the INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT PPV. But that doesn’t mean it’s all BRA vs Rival Angels either. There is still that World Championship match to decide.
3 chapters? Ooh…
Any plans after RA? Will you still be doing commissions?
I do have plans after Rival Angels! It will be a mix of Final Fantasy meets Alexander the Great.
But, with chapters taking about 4 months to get through, we’ll still be at this for a while longer. 😉
Thanks for asking!
A science fantasy story about conquering stuff? Sounds intriguing…
“Rival Angels selling?” “No truth to any rumor.”
Having long been familiar with the concept of “Chekhov’s Gun”, I’ll be reviewing my contract this weekend…
🙂
