Is there any way this earthshaking confrontation could get any better? Sorry, did somebody say tag team? Because that is exactly what supreme bad boys Kevin Mask and Mars are bringing. Facing off against the tag team Demolition, Kevin and Mars join forces, brainstorm a catchy team name and get ready to dominate.

But the Demolition duo is more dangerous than it first appears. Who's the mysterious guy at ringside refusing to tap in and wearing, it must be pointed out, a highly suspicious hooded cloak? What kind of nasty mojo could radiate across Japan and drag evil wrestling coach Sunshine out of a booze-fueled stupor? And can you believe we haven't seen Sunshine since volume 4? What is up with that?

<description><![CDATA[ Armageddon. The ultimate sin of humanity, perpetrated upon itself, which cast the shroud of death across the world centuries ago. And out of that lasting darkness, they emerged... From the legends of ancient times, they have been called forth into the world anew... vampires.

Two races - Terran and Methuselah, human and vampire - are locked in a struggle for existence, trembling on the brink of war. Some seek the path to a peaceful coexistence, while others pursue a dangerous shift in the balance of power. The world's enemy, Contra Mundi, is starting to move. Cooperation and goodwill between the two races may be their only chance for survival.

Abel Nightroad, a touring priest for the Vatican, walks calmly where others fear to tread. A member of the formidable AX, tasked with the protection of the fragile equilibrium. Neither human nor vampire, with an awkward yet optimistic nature, this Father is a force wholly his own. When the greater threat emerges, the enemy of my enemy is my friend... and Abel Nightroad seeks a safe path for all.

Be strong in your endeavors for the sake of the world.
