So, I love the story of Zorro, since I was a kid and was so excited to read this. It’s clearly geared towards a younger audience, but it was still a good read….cheesy at time and a lot of double meaning, but good.

The focus of vultures is not just the bird, but also the dangers of human vultures, people that just use you.

Another great story by Don McGregor, who's one of the few writers left in comic books who retains realism with his heroic feats. It's a shame that Papercutz's bid for Zorro failed. I blame their inability to properly market the Manga Style.

I know it would've been a hit in Japan.
