MBQ, Volume 2

"Dynamic and comical . . . Full of breathtaking violence, hot sexy chicks and an utterly absurd comic-within-a-comic, MBQ is almost too good to be true." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Big Bro Brody is the biggest, meanest, ugliest fighter in the business-and he ain't none too happy about his little brother Richie getting a beatdown by Dee, who is trying to move a shipment of hot electronics. Across town, Omario has finished his comic submission and presents it with brim and bluster to Jeff, who is too nice to say what he really thinks about the work. He is also too nice to remind Omario about the rent. Praise for MBQ, Volume 1 "MBQ is more than manga . . . Felipe Smith doesn't fall into the trap of half-assedly remixing well-known poses, expressions, and phrases into 'new' stories. He's actually drawing instead of cloning, his characters look totally different from one another, and if he ever uses a manga cliché, it's for good reason." -Wired "Weirdly thoughtful, thrillingly violent and cheesily sexy, this book is a guilty pleasure and a shameless delight. It's a wonderful glimpse into the future of original English manga." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
