The dream is over for Reynolds and Danny’s body has given up.

The journalist who’s been interviewing Davis in between the main plot threads has found Teddy, who seems to have settled down in a more traditional family unit.

Promising to take the journalist to see Danny, gradually the gaps in the narrative between where we left him and the present day are filled in.

This final issue hits so hard; it’s an absolutely devastating gut punch, tying up the last few loose ends in a devastating manner that can’t help but tug at the heartstrings of readers.

It cements Ringside as a consistently excellent, complete story by writer Joe Keatinge and artist Nick Barber.

The muted, understated colours by Simon Gough have also added immeasurably to the ambience of the downbeat tragedy of the nonetheless compelling wrestling drama.

With only 15 issues overall, it’s not even difficult or expensive to get hold of, or read fully, the entirety of Ringside and, as you have probably guessed if you’ve read my reviews, I’d highly recommend checking it out.

Though the violence and relentlessly dark subject matter can make it a little bit of a shock to people more used to reading more lighthearted fare, it’s akin to the compelling, dark drama of shows such as Breaking Bad.

Ringside is a brilliant peek behind the curtain of the ruthless wrestling business, with a great ear for the specific terminology and drama that you find both in, and outside, the squared circle.
