However, a small band of professional Zombie Fighters is laying waste to these infected undead pests. Taunted by the media and hypocrite politicians, the outraged Doctor is aided by his comical sidekick, who develops a new Zombie Virus that creates a giant super-Zombie. The new creature wreaks havoc on the city, destroying the fighters, cars, buildings and even the mayor. But within the fighters and citizen refugees, a special bond is formed, and a secret is revealed that could be the only hope for mankind to stop the monster. <em>Zombie Kings: The King of the Zombies<\/em> is a story of heroism, loyalty, self sacrifice, hot chicks, giant Zombies, blood and guts, car crashes and explosions, and high flying Jet pack action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Daikaiju zombies!
