80s wrestling was hard times baby. Every wrestler had to have a second job to make ends meet. Except the Million Dollar Man who always had a million dollars.

But he had the Million Dollar Belt. So logically if you took that off him, he would have had no money left.

Gavok did some great reviews of a lot of the 90’s wrestling comics.

He could probably do a whole article about wrestlers in comic book inspired gear, or body paint.

Johnny Gargano has done quite a few. His Wolverine and Punisher ones are probably the stand outs. Rey Mysterio is the king of this though. Too many to name, but I really liked his Phantom and Daredevil. NXT has.had at least three wrestlers with different Captain Marvel inspired gear.

I've let derails slide lately because we're all super stressed and being able to goof around and have fun is good, but:

a) we've gone a hot minute now without any funny panels
b) there is a wrestling subforum
c) I think a "wrestling comics"/"comics and wrestling" thread would be neat and although I don't know anything at all really about wrestling I'd be interested in reading it so maybe I could gently nudge one of you to go write up an OP for that

I'm just going to say, reading panels backwards is loving hard as hell, and while I don't want to say don't post manga (that Mitsuboshi Colors sequence was great), don't post 5 double pages of it.

CITY does rely a lot on pretty long sequences with internal repetition so maybe it's not a super good fit for this kind of thread, I'll back off from it unless I find some shorter bits that really grab me.

Calling it "backwards" is kinda weird IMO, just because you're used to reading least to right doesn't mean right to left is backwards.

However, sometimes manga translations mirror the pages so they read left to right and sometimes they don't, so it might be good to mention reading direction when posting manga. But that's just, like, my opinion.

I don't really have an opinion on this but I did try to read the Wolverine panels right to left after reading the manga above, which made me feel dizzy for a moment.

It's backwards because the words go right to left left to right but the panels go left to right right to left.

I'm not going to pretend it'd be better if manga translations looked like Zatanna casting a spell, but it's still not easy.
