Two luchadores reminisce over the glory days of Lucha Armagedón, el Bastardo makes his first appearance, and a young Rey Velado bests yet another opponent in the ring. [CW: Blood, Strong Language, Violence.]
Ahhh, I'm all caught up now, but I keep coming back and reading it over and over. I never expected to fall in love with the NSFW content on Bluesky and then ACTUALLY be rewarded with an enthralling and beautiful comic to accompany it. The colors and facial expressions- THIS ART STYLE IN GENERAL is so captivating! I am so madly in love with the story as well. It's got the heightened reality and muscular guys fighting in colorful suits of JoJo mixed with the honor and melodrama of Yakuza. I just love stories with hot earnest men giving it their all 🥰 Please never stop!
My thoughts for Issue 1:
1.) H3n’s artstyle is so gorgeous. The poses, the costumes, the movement, the glitter. It’s all so dynamic and beautiful.
2.) I feel like the “retelling” element is actually done in an interesting way. It’s refreshing to see characters not participating in the “well let me tell you a story” trope. I think the discussing “old times and nostalgia” was really fun.
3.) I want to give almost everyone in this comic a little kiss. Despite the range of body sizes, personal looks, and costumes, every character is so beautiful. (I can’t help but simp a little.)
4.) The tecnicos are little trouble makers. I love them all, but be nice to Bas. I beg…
CAZ ?!?!?!? AND SIDE VIEW OF HIS BIG ASS !?!??!?!? WE EATIN GOOD TONITE FELLAS !!!!!!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!1
OMG I've just discovered today this exists and it's the most freaking awesome thing I've read in such a long time. So beautiful, so erotic, so well-drawn, so EVERYTHING. Super big fan of your work, please keep sharing more of this masterpiece! <3
This is spectacular. The style, the colours, the composition, all assisting the fantastic storytelling in such a wonderful way. I can't wait for more! Viva Bastardo!
