Johnny Hiro (half asian/all hero) by Fred Chao

This book is truly great. Lots of heart and full of laughs. The art fits perfectly, and Chao seems to be weaving a great story here.

The one line pitch:

1/2 indie relationship comic, 1/2 ridiculous (in a good way) Japanese movie homage - it's High Fidelity meets Godzilla meets Strangers in Paradise meets Shogun assassin.

So much better than 90% of the capes and all that other crap. Try this book - you won't be sorry. And if I can find it here in MI, you can probably find it anywhere.

Edit: he is on episode 15 of the comixology podcast as well. Good stuff.

Thanks Conor.

Guess I'm the only one reading it?

How did you find this? Looks interesting...

I saw it on the shelf, flipped through it, and have bought all three issues thus far.

With a title like that I couldn't NOT check it out...

That sounds awesome, but I haven't spotted it at any of my local shops. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I just saw this this past week, but didn't really look through it. I'll have to check it out next time. :)
