Thank you to Oni Press for letting me read an arc copy of Agents Of Slam by David Scheidt Heidi Black, Scoot McMahon (Illustrations). This graphic novel will be released April 19th 2022.
Blurb- The Agents of S.L.A.M. aren’t your average professional wrestlers. They’re led by the fearless and famous Bruno Bravado and work for the president of the United States to protect people from all kinds of threats—both on Earth and in space! And they’ve just been joined by their newest recruit, Katie Jones, a twelve-year-old wrestling vlogger who just might know more about wrestling than the wrestlers themselves. S.L.A.M. will need Katie’s knowledge and skills if they’re going to keep protecting Earth, especially when their toughest rival challenges them!
Overall rating- 4/5⭐
Characters- 5/5⭐
Setting- 5/5⭐
Writing- 3/5⭐
Plot- 4.5/5 ⭐
General thoughts and opinions- This was a fast and super easy to read graphic novel. I loved the art style, it was very detailed and full of vibrant colours, so much effort was put into the characters body language and outfits to make them authentic. There was never a dull moment and I enjoyed observing all the new settings, each as creative as the last. Each character had a distinct personality and even some humorous lines. There were some heartwarming lines about family relations and connections as well as how to be strong when things get scary. There were even some plot twists that I never saw coming.
I recommend this graphic novel to anyone who loves superheroes(especially from the marvel and dc universe) or wrestling.
You can preorder from amazon or barnes and noble

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read and review Agents of S.L.A.M!
I really enjoyed this one!
First of all, I was immediately satisfied with the wonderful art style. I loved the digital brushes used by the artist and the wonderful colour palettes and fantastic line work.
I wasn’t sure what way my opinion would go for Agents of S.L.A.M as I’m very much a UFC watcher and fan, and don’t often dabble in wrestling. But I loved this, it had all the fun and drama of wrestling as well as that cool sci-if comic book feel.
The Red Reaper was a highlight for me. Especially when we got to visit his home, meet his bats and his fantastic mum and see the juxtaposition of his home life and his bad-ass look in S.L.A.M.
I would defiantly be interested in continuing this graphic novel, and encourage others to pick it up and give it a go- especially if you enjoy wrestling!
