El Zombo Fantasma...I like the sound of it.  Alas, I have not read the comic from Dark Horse.  The more I hear about this, the more I become interested.  I think it's great when these sort of hidden gems get the chance to burst onto the big scene.  What is it about?
The story follows the mysterious murder of the world's most notorious Mexican wrestler who bargains his way out of an eternity of fiery damnation by returning to Los Angeles to play guardian angel to a troublesome teen, Belisa Montoya. He soon discovers that the teen is not what she seems and that their fates have been intertwined for centuries.
Mexican wrestlers?  Who can get enough of them?  Death Ray Films and Maya Entertainment  will be bringing the undead wrestlers not only to the big screen but other mediums as well.  There are already plans for an animated series.
