Nectar for conspiracy enthusiasts and "it's the Apocalypse!!" fans, CINCO DE ZOMBIE is a thoughtful "it's too late" tale starring a young man who once worked at a covert facility for "medical research." [Read: Bioweapon R & D]. He doesn't know what his job title was, his identity, whether he has a hometown and a family. He knows he has one friend, Austrian "Ziggy. " Given the name Sid Singleton, Our Hero has survived a massive Zombie attack [yes, Zombie] when the lab's security failed. [One of the secret labs: they are legion; and like cockroaches, they exist everywhere.] "Sid" inexplicably not only survived but healed, seemingly immune to the Zombie virus that fells, then resurrects, others. So he and his best friend Zombie Ziggy, become Monster Hunters. Because really, these covert labs are everywhere.
