James the Stanton, creator of Gnartoons, strikes again with a double shot of mini comics drawn over past year while traveling some of the west coast. James' comics are a bizarre melding of Moebius-esque fantasy, Charles Burns weirdness and dinosaurs. Lots of dinosaurs.
Check out his website for more oddness!!

Gundam. A robot. A genre. A legacy. Like the Velvet Underground, Kirby's Fourth World and Blade Runner, the impact of this work is not able to be accurately measured until one steps back, looks at it through the decades and sees the raw power of such and original and unique idea that has permeated into the very being of a whole generation of creators. Reading Gundam for the first time is like listening to Muddy Waters after hearing nothing but Rolling Stones and coming to that shocking realization that what you thought was so primal, so powerful, was nothing more than a watered downed version of a true original.

I fell in love with this story with it's first installment and have been waiting for almost twelve years for it to be completed. If you are one of the poor souls who has never read a comic by the Hernandez Brothers now would be an excellent time to right that wrong. Los Bros are the best creators of female characters in the business, and if there's one thing that Beto does better than women, it's children.
Attention Sakura-Con Attendees: Get 'em while we still got 'em, a whole lot of our manga has

and help us make some room!! We are only 3 blocks from the Convention Center, on 3rd Avenue between Stewart and Virginia Streets.
