Snapshots: The Warrior Spirit

One of our favorite sagas is that of Rising Phoenix, a lawyer who decides to follow her true passion and become a professional wrestler. The entire story is illustrated by Gavin Aung Than of ZenPencils.com who takes famous quotes and uses them for the comic’s theme. Phoenix’s decision to leave the court room for the wrestling ring was inspired by Howard Thurman:

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes
you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is 
people who have come alive.

When the challenges of being a pro wrestling start to wear down Phoenix physically and emotionally, a quote from Marie Curie gives her the resolve to keep going forward:

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? 
We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.
We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this
 thing must be attained.

When we next see Phoenix Rising, she has gone from the mid-card on the independent circuit to a marquee match at Wrestlema… the sign’s cut off.

I Have ‘Til Five: The Astonishing Attire of Leva Bates

In I Have ’til 5, 3MB will Pick a Topic and Discuss the 5 Finer Points of it

It’s no secret that Wrestlers are fans of comics. Take Cody Rhodes: he also gave a thought out answer when asked, “Who is the greatest super villain?” on WWE Inbox. His answer – Mr. Sinister – was the inspiration for his hooded cape ring attire, according to his an interview with Marvel. So it’s no surprise that Cody tweeted out his opinion on X-Men: Days of Future Past, the highest grossing film this Memorial Day weekend. But Cody’s not the only fan. There’s independent wrestler Leva Bates who is also a big fan of the franchise. She couldn’t see it on Friday; she was too busy competing in SHINE 19’s awesome 10 Women elimination match. But leading up to the  U.S. release of the film, she posted to her Instagram her favorite X-Men inspired outfits. In no particular order, her are 5 of them. But first…
