Volume 7 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. It's a good thing the evil DMP hasn't made a bid for world domination lately, because the Muscle League sure has gotten itself into a heap of trouble. The League's tournament of champions, originally intended to determine whether Earth's safety should be entrusted to Kid Muscle and his friends or the gang of eager new recruits called Generation Ex, has escalated into what can only be called a bloodbath. The last wrestlers standing: fiery German fighter Jaeger, mysterious street brawler Scarface, and poor li'l Kid Muscle, who just wants to get past the fussin' and the fightin' and go out for karaoke. Alas, it is not to be. Kid Muscle's next battle in the squared circle promises to be his most bone-cracking confrontation yet, against an opponent who takes no prisoners and pulls no punches. And the DMP, which has kept a polite silence, may be closer to the action than anyone in the Muscle League suspects. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $7.95.
