[Michael Gordon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m not sure if the genre of “lucha noir” originated from Rafael Navarro, but Sonambulo’s debut contains everything one could want from the mashup - intrigue, danger, mystery, shadowy visuals, sexiness, and even a touch of camp. All well presented in this anniversary edition hardcover.

A retired masked wrestler, who came out of a coma with some vague psychic powers, becomes a noir PI.
How can you not love that?
Masked wrestlers, noir mystery and a touch of spooky stuff. What's not to love. Great, stylish art, a cool main character, some funny bits and a col mystery.
Good stuff. Can't wait to track down some more of these.
