Rival Angels Page 178-Match Two

We move away for a bit, from the Upstarts and turn our focus on other aspects of Rival Angels. That being said, whenever we turn away from the main players (Sabrina, Krystin, Sun and Brooke) you can be sure that its still something that ties in with one or more of the Upstart girls.

The second match of round one of the Television Tournament! As you can see from this update, Josephine York is off to a great start against the British Bombshell, Victoria Buckingham. It doesn’t hurt that her twin sister, Franchesca, is at ringside.

So who’s your pick to win this match, Victoria or Josephine?

Rival Angels Page 171-Bonus Life

Wha-ho!  That sneaky little Angel Soprano pulled it off!  Granted, she chilled outside of the ring ala Mr. Perfect so she TECHNICALLY didn’t cheat, but it really wasn’t very sporting of her.  Don’t like it?  Too bad!!  She gets into the Television tournament, but which bracket she’ll pick is anybody’s guess.  Or is it?  After all, she can go and claim a spot in the Hell’s Belles too and I’m sure Chloe will have her own ‘recommendations’ for what bracket Angel should pick to enter the TV tournament.

Ah, poor Fran.  I know she was a favorite of many of you and she would’ve had it but for that sneaky Soprano girl.  You can tell by the fan reaction that Angel isn’t their favorite pick to win this.  The battle royal moved kind of quick but we know now who’s going to be in the next bracket of the TV tournament and the girls that are IN the TV tournament can’t say that.  Yet. 

So did your pick to win the Battle Royal come through? XD

Next on Monday’s update: The return of the Upstart girls!!  You remember them, the stars of the show? XD  Well the Upstart girls and…an unexpected guest.

Anyone check out the Mickey Rourke movie, The Wrestler?  If you have, check out my review of it over here and feel free to chime in with your thoughts on the film and the rumor that Rourke will be appearing at Wrestlemania this year.

Have a great weekend, we’ll see you back here on Monday. :D

Rival Angels Page 160-Laid Out

Rival Angels Page 160-Laid Out

Man, that’s cold. Sabrina’s already lost her match with Mistress Dark and then she’s got to take a beating afterwards from a bad sport like Danielle Perfection. Seems Ms Perfection has taken umbrage with the fact that Sabrina beat her the day before back in the Developmental League and is looking for some payback. It would seem that the message was received, much to Sun’s ire in this telling of the story. It might be fun to see what Sabrina and/or Sun would do if they meet up with Danielle in the future.

For now, Sabrina’s got to relive that painful running powerslam onto the concrete and now we’re getting to the part, as Sabrina tells it, the best thing to ever happen to her happens. Kind of interesting to see what that might be considering she’s all broken and out of it. Stay tuned….!

In other news, I was interviewed by The Webcomic Overlook. El Santo and I sat down and we discussed wrestling, bad comics and who’s *my* most intriguing Upstart girl. Check it out here

Rival Angels Page 158-Ubergoth and Happy Birthday Rival Angels!

Rival Angels Page 158-Ubergoth and Happy Birthday Rival Angels!

Sabrina…the trash talker?  Seems she like to verbally get into it with her opponents and sharp eyed readers have found that Sabrina had a pretty lousy record in developmental.  Seems like something big must’ve happened to changer her attitude into the Ultragirl we know today.  But, as we can see, Sabrina had her problems with Danielle Perfection and getting hit with Mistress Dark’s finisher, the Ubergoth is no way to greet the day.  Can Sabrina kick out of this to continue the match, or is she done?  And what else does Danielle have in store for Sabrina?

Happy New Year’s….EVE! XD  Not only are we about to ring in 2009 but today is also the one year anniversary of Rival Angels.  I’m very happy to say that I didn’t miss one update ever and I hope to keep that going into 2009.  I’m also happy that Rival Angels is the #1 wrestling webcomic and has grown in readership and awareness in the last 52 weeks.

Big love and thanks to Tracie, Justin, Keefe, the Wrecking Crew, Lora, MGC, Salazen, RDF, A Mouse, Jamie, JackAce, Coyote Lovely, Patric, ps2Kid, Jacob, Addison, Amanda, Jess, Trevor, DAJB, Dr. Shadow, MIB, Peipei, Dave R, Danny, Michelle, Bea, Adam B, bd, Ray, Jess and so many more.  Don’t be mad if I don’t have you on the list, just know that I appreciate each and every one of you.

Tallying up the hours, on average it takes me 24 hours a week to do three pages of Rival Angels.  It was less than 20 until Lora turned me on to this Scott McCloud book that preached the importance of backgrounds.  Grrr!! XD My stuff is much better for it so thank you Lora!  Of course, there’s the 8 hour inconvenience that I have five days a week but its what lets me get to do what I love, plus they have a tabloid size scanner.  Realistically, I’m sure the Mrs. would like to have some of that time back so I have to give her much thanks for supporting me in Rival Angels.  Justin has to get a shout out because I think I’ve got a daily email into him about some aspect of Rival Angels.  Help with dialogue or match progression or even getting him to write a chapter.  

I still do online gaming every Wednesday, still watch wrestling, football and must-see TV.  The only real thing that I’ve had to go without is console games.  We were going to get PS3 back in April but there wasn’t any real time to get into that.  I do hear Fables is the bomb, so I might have to clear some time for that.

I don’t want to spoil anything but I don’t mind handing out a few teasers for what’s to come in the new year:

-The first ever Rival Angels Television Champion.

-A chapter dedicated to Sun and her origins.

-Rival Angels ‘Slammy’ Awards!

-More of the fun, drama and excitement you’ve come to expect.

My New Years Resolutions for Rival Angels this year include growing the readership to the point of doing a proper print run, either in 30 page chunks or big ol 150 page graphic novels.  Any preference from you?  Improving the craft (writing, art, coloring) as well as keeping my update streak intact are high on that list too.  Any if you have any suggestions, comments or anything you’d like to see, I’d love to hear them.  Tonight, I ring in the New Year with a Lord Of The Rings movie marathon.  Dig it and Happy New Year!  I hope its the best one for everyone, ever.

One last thing, be sure to check out the latest Voting Incentive. :)

Rival Angels-Page 67

Rival Angels-Page 67

It looks like Brooke and Krystin feel like they’ve been left out. Sabrina gets a match to qualify for the Television Tournament, and it looks like they want some attention as well. What do you think? Should Brooke and Krystin get something?

And now Sabrina has to face the woman that has beaten her three straight times in a row. Sure that was a while ago in the developmental division (reminder HERE) but Loretta is sure feeling confident about her chances, obviously. The fans sure seem eager to see the Ultragirl and Loretta lock up to see who gets to be entered into the Television Tournament.

For those that aren’t familiar with the Television Title, it’s the secondary title in Rival Angels to the World Championship title (current champion is Brenda Rua). The Television title is to help prepare young superstars for the main event spotlight as well as give main event wrestlers a title to pursue when the current champion is occupied with other main eventers. Clearly, this is a huge opportunity for either Sabrina or Loretta, so you can be sure that they’ll be giving it their all when they face off.
