[Khurram · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awsome till the end. I loved this book right till the end. This is a great build up to a great main event but there is no main event. I hate that. Hence me taking a star off.

The first chapter is a few short stories of memorable moment in the WWE. Great stuff. I love that the wrestlers storylines are real in the comic universe.

The main story starts from Kevin Owen's betrayal of Sami, we are taken back to their journey, then their time together in the WWE. All of this is awsomes, but it is building the the battle between the two, guess where the story ends?

If the promised main even was shown I would give this an easy 5 stars but simple for the last fight missing I have yo take a star off. That is very frustrating as I loved this book right up to that point. There is also a cover gallery featuring A4 sized covers of all the stories in this book.

This volume examines the relationship between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, or as many know them El Generico and Kevin Steen. It follows mostly the storyline where Owens was feuding with Shane McMahon which lead to a Zayn heel turn. The art is decent and it was cool to see the comic touch on the long history of the two. This series walks a line between "real" and storyline and sometimes that comes across as silly, but there's a lot of truth mixed in so it's a good read for both casual fans and more serious fans as well.
