About the series

In this gritty, modern reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in the high-stakes world of professional wrestling, The Crimson Cage (2022–present, AWA Studios) follows an ambitious wrestler who, after receiving a cryptic prophecy, begins a ruthless climb to the championship belt. The series, written by Mark Sable and illustrated by Nathan Gooden, blends noir storytelling with the theatrical violence of the squared circle, exploring themes of fate, ambition, and the cost of power. Though only one issue in, it has already drawn attention for its unique fusion of classic tragedy and pulp sports drama.
