"In less than one hour, a hole will open in the fabric of the universe, unleashing a horde of Moche zombies, led by their bloodthirsty god."
"And where, exactly, will this hole open up?"
"In the dining area of Blubber Tubber's Burgers about a mile away."
In King! Issue 1, Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford begin the adventures "of a former professional wrestler who not only is a monster killer for hire, but who also closely resembles a certain "King" of Rock n Roll."
As they did with Robot 13's storyline, the King! rocks through Bradford's breezy, taking care of business panels, while Hall lets his hunka hunka burnin' impersonator's soul roll with the mayhem as Blubber Tubber's fast food joint becomes the center of the apocalypse. Hold the fries because there's no time to waste with lengthy exposition, copious explanations, or deep conversations. Hall and Bradford prefer action to words, as does the King, and this first issue has it as much as Elvis' hips could swivel.
The question is, will the King get to eat his Peanut Butter Banana Burrito before it gets cold?
