  Masked Mexican wrestler? Check. Cool art? Check. Should be good, right? Well, not quite. Im not sure what I was expecting when I picked this book up, but this definitely wasnt it. Its a standard kind-of-bad-guy-makes-good story, only it happens to be a wrestler. There just wasnt anything for me to sink my teeth into. After reading this book, I kind of just shrugged. Not a bad book, but not very original either. The one thing that did stand out in this book is the art. El Zombo is big and cartoony and the art just looked great. Also, I really enjoyed the two pin-ups in the back of the book by Joe Chiodo and Francis Tsai. Good stuff. Maybe issue #2 will pick up the pace a bit and surprise me. Read Full Review
