Marina City setting for wrestling web comic

Rival Angels

October 31, 2013 – Finally, Marina City is a location in a web-based comic strip.

Set in Chicago, Rival Angels will follow the personal and professional rivalries of four fictional women who are professional wrestlers. The boyfriend of one of the wrestlers lives at Marina City.

Created by Milwaukee residents Alan Evans and Justin Riley, the series combines two of Alan’s interests, comic books and wrestling.

Explaining why he chose Marina City, Evans says, “I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it’s iconic. You see it and you know you’re in Chicago.”

The series will update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
