Do A Powerbomb Black And White #2 — Daniel Warren Johnson’s Ring-Warriors Get Real

Lona Steel Rose and Cobrasun are joining forces, but the ring they’re stepping into is far more dangerous than they imagined. Daniel Warren Johnson’s black-and-white reissue of issues 3 and 4 ramps up the stakes in this gritty wrestling epic.

There is a specific kind of kinetic energy that only Daniel Warren Johnson can summon when he’s working in black and white. The high-contrast ink doesn’t just depict motion; it feels like it’s vibrating off the page. That’s the magic he brings to Do A Powerbomb Black And White, a format that strips away color to focus entirely on muscle, impact, and the raw architecture of combat. You’re going to love how the stark imagery makes every punch feel heavier.

In this second issue, the story finds Lona Steel Rose and Cobrasun finally deciding to put their differences aside and team up. It sounds like a classic underdog setup, but Johnson has a way of twisting the knife early. After witnessing the sheer level of talent and brutality they are about to face, it becomes clear they may have signed up for something far more volatile than a standard tournament. The bell is about to ring, and the warning is already flashing.

This collection format is a treat for fans who have been tracking the series. By gathering the third and fourth issues into a single volume, Johnson gives the narrative a denser, more novelistic pace. The art here is deceptively simple but incredibly expressive, relying on body language and environmental detail to tell the story as much as the dialogue does. It’s a perfect place to jump in if you’ve been hearing buzz about the creative team but haven’t dipped your toes in yet.

If you find yourself drawn to this blend of sports drama and supernatural tension, keep an eye on the rest of the Image lineup. The way Johnson handles the psychology of the fight is rare, and if you enjoy that character depth, you’ll likely appreciate how other creators in the catalog are pushing genre boundaries right now. It’s a good week to be exploring their shelves.
