Kamen Rider Zero-One is part of the Kamen Rider Series, also known as the Masked Rider series, created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. It's considered part of the Tokusatsu superhero genre and like other series like Ultraman and Super Sentai, spans multiple iterations over decades across TV, film, anime, manga, and toys.
The original Kamen Rider was also responsible for launching the second Kaiju (film and TV shows featuring giants monsters) boom on Japanese television during the early '70s.
Newsarama includes Titan's Kamen Rider Zero-One as one of the 25 best superhero jumping on points coming to comic books this fall.
