The Bottom Line
Fans of sci-fi, cheesy monster movies, and pro wrestling will be sure to love this book. The best way to describe it would be to call it a written version of the old style El Santo movies. While the book is pure fiction, real wrestlers have allowed their names and likeness to be used in this book. Luscious Johnny Valiant, Joe E. Legend, and Samu are the most famous wrestlers to be featured in the book.

Guide Review - Death Falcon Zero vs. The Zombie Slug Lords by William Bitner & Daniel Boyd
This story tells the tale of a former luchadore that has been released from prison by Governor Valiant to combat a local city's problem with zombies. These zombies are being created by Senator Joe E. Legend as part of a plot to acquire real estate very cheaply.
Not only are the zombies out to stop Death Falcon Zero, but so are the hired goons of Senator Legend which includes Samu Anoai. With the odds against him, Death Falcon must make peace with his former tag team partners to take on the zombies.
When I received this book, I had no idea what to expect. I'm not a fan of ludicrous sci-fi action but I found myself enjoying this book. The book reminded me of the style of movies by Troma Pictures, which isn't that surprising considering that one of the men responsible for this story is a former director for that movie company. Scenes for a movie were shot but when the project became impossible to commit to film, it became this illustrated novel.
