Title: Rival Angels: Season 3 Volume 1
Date: 2017
Publisher: Rival Angels
Writer: Alan Evans, Justin Riley
Artist: Alan Evans, Dave Reynolds
Colorist: Aaron Daly
The action here focuses primarily on Ultradragon (Sabrina and Sun) and their quest for the tag team championship, as Sabrina deals with her doubts about not being able to "win the big one". Meanwhile the Upstarts continue on their slow path toward forgiving past issues and restoring their friendships. And there's a new threat on the horizon as Olympic medalist Camile Cote debuts, and proceeds to destroy everyone in her path.
This was a really focused story, which has not always been the case with Rival Angels. It's nice to see the pacing balance between in-ring action and out-of-ring soap opera continue to improve.
Ultradragon's quest for tag team gold was a great storyline, but Brooke had some excellent moments as well as she had taken on a more serious role in the story. Def Tech's plot was on more of a slow burn during this volume, but there was enough there to keep things interesting.
A new segment at the start of each chapter featuring a page of internet fan commentary was a nice addition, and a decent representation/parody of online wrestling fans.
A Christmas-themed story drawn by Dave Reynolds gave some background insights into Sabrina's relationship with her family.
Rating: 8/10
