PATRICK SAYS:

"PLASTIC is a high-octane, bloody, revenge comic in which a man goes up against a Louisiana billionaire to get his kidnapped girlfriend back. Edwyn (the man) is a retired serial killer, and Virginia (his girlfriend) is a sex doll. See? You're already hooked! This is the first book in comic writer Doug Wagner's violent, yet emotional, corner of the Image universe, also including VINYL, PLUSH, KLIK KLIK BOOM, and I WAS A FASHION SCHOOL SERIAL KILLER. And I am here for ALL of them!!"

PATRICK SAYS:

"HIRSYASUMI is a slice-of-life manga that's as much comedy as it is drama, and it's wonderful. It's just so fun. 29-year old, carefree Hiroto inherits a small house and his 18-year old art student cousin, Naysumi, moves in with him. This is the story of what happens next as they live their lives. It's just a no-stakes, good-natured, everyday story, and I can't get enough of it! For fans of Yotsuba&! and Maison Ikkoku (coincidentally other favorite mangas of mine), and anyone who just wants to be happy after reading a good comic. Written and illustrated by Keigo Shinzo (Moriyamachu Driving School, Tokyo Alien Bros). 8 volumes and counting."

"WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US is just bonkers! Matthew Rosenberg, he of lengthy comic book titles, (AND a Challengers Shelf Sponsor!!) presents this ridiculous tale of a 13-year old girl and her dead mad scientist father's robot bodyguard, who has to either live a normal life, or seek revenge for her murdered father. Cabals! Global domination! Villainous super-spies! They say 'James Bond meets the Island of Dr Moreau' but I say 'The Venture Bros meets Invincible'! Let me leave you with just one sentence of dialog from a single panel: 'A child ripped his dick off, ran inside, and shut the door, while his own men shot him to death.' And that's just the dialog-- you gotta see the panels (with perfectly-fitting art by Stefano Landini)! Just writing this review makes me immediately want to read it AGAIN!!"
