Why is Ziggy and MV's Violent Drama Being Made?

I am a lifelong professional wrestling fan, and been following the independent/small territory side of the business since 2002. I have always been drawn to the talent on the independent scene that actively works to reform stereotypes of pro wrestling and its performers; my first wrestling-focused project, WARHAUSEN, featured All Elite Wrestling star Danhausen and nationally renowned champion WARHORSE, as well as other rising stars in independent promotions. I am immensely proud of this comic, which was supported by an award-winning art team, raised nearly $6,500 in crowdfunding, and provided significant publicity for the wrestlers when their work was uncertain during the peak of the pandemic.

Page 1 of Violent Drama

 

This latest comic features Ziggy Haim and MV Young, two Pittsburgh-area independent wrestlers who have brought the sport to brand new venues and subcultures. Ziggy Haim is a badass Jewish punk, and MV Young, the PolyAm King, is at the forefront of bringing pro wrestling to LGBTQ+ audiences. This story also features an awesome villainess appearance from Nicole Matthews, one of the pioneers of women's independent pro wrestling (and a star in WWE's Mae Young Classic). All of these athletes are an inspiration to me and I am honored that they have entrusted me with their characters to create a wild story inspired by Dredd, The Raid, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Goals: 

The base goal of this crowdfunding campaign is to get the book printed as well as finish payment for the art team. If we reach a stretch goal of $3,000, the following additions will be unlocked: 

  • Dan the Dad's backup story in WARHAUSEN was a huge hit, and if the goal is reached, Dan's part-time job as a monster mauler will return in an Elden Ring-inspired adventure. MV, Ziggy, and Nicole will also be appearing in this story!
  • Variant covers! Dan the Dad variants will be included not only in Ziggy and MV's Violent Drama, but also as a limited edition run of WARHAUSEN!
