Roger gives you the lowdown on DC Comics – Vertigo’s Delirium’s Party: A Little Endless Storybook HC in this Westfield Comics pick video. For fans familiar with Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, Jill Thompson is back with her lovely, charming artwork and her diminutive versions of the Endless. Enjoy!
A manga about bread baking? “Are you serious?” you may say, but it sure is a most enjoyable read. Here in the US, only 20 of the 26 volumes are out as of the writing of this post. It begins with a young boy who dreams to make a great bread in Japan. Once he’s older, he joins a bakery and every now and then, baking competitions come into play. It’s just downright hilarious! Judges come around tasting each bread, many going over the top and beyond with how amazing the grand delicacy may be.
If any of you have ever even slightly liked DragonBall, then One Piece is what you should be interested in! One Piece is so good, it’s not even funny. In Japan, One Piece is more popular then both Naruto and Bleach combined! People just need to give it a try.
My first encounter with One Piece was way back in 2003 when Shonen Jump first came to the US. All I can say is there wasn’t a whole lot of appeal just by looking at it. I never even read it or gave it a chance. Even years later when my friend said how great it was, I still didn’t listen. I think the main reason for all this is it couldn’t even be viewed due to 4 Kids horribly butchering the anime to utter garbage. I had no involvement with the series til FUNimation came along and announced they had acquired the rights to dub (and completely save) the show. This happened in late 2007/early 2008 and is when I became interested in the series.
