Based on one of the most popular WWE wrestlers of all time--The Undertaker. A thick as a brick book filled with loads of action, horror and adventure. The Undertaker takes on the undead, the dead and everything in between. Loaded with tons of WWE guest stars, this is a must for any fan of professional wrestling and horror.
Collecting the first few 'Undertaker' comics. This is an interesting and enjoyable take on the Undertaker and features some really good artwork. Unfortunately, the quality of the book isn't the best and over the years the glue has dried out which has led to pages coming loose. None of my other books of an older or same age has done this. But, that aside, an enjoyable start to the Undertaker mini series.
I can accept unreasonable and even ridiculous plotlines - otherwise I could never be a wrestling fan. But this... this is just plain bad writing. The art is impressive, but the story it serves (ambitious as it is, and I'm adding a star for that) is poorly written and riddled with basic spelling and grammatical errors. A shame!
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this, the artwork is absolutely stunning and it ties in perfectly with the events on the show. Highly recommend!
