Pól Ruadh Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Re: Lucha Hero In the recent comic, 'Strongman' (http://www.slgcomic.com/Strongman-Volume-One_p_953.html), our hero has two comrades-in-arms. El Bujo (The Owl) is a scientist who helps our hero out with his brilliant mind and inventive genius, however, his second ally is the weapons master, El Conejo! Which is to say, The Bunny. Unfortunately, my web-fu isn't helping me find a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Waters Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Re: Lucha Hero The Lucha cover (featuring the incomparable art of Sam Kennedy!) is finished and shipped off to the printer. And because teh bunneh is so good to his loyal fans, how about a little sneak preview? I must admit I've never really been a fan of the Lucha Libre thing, not really getting it, but that cover might just change my mind Brave going with a character called ElEspectro though, wearing a green and white costume...
