HEY - I can't express how excited I am about this book coming out! Reggie-12 by Brian Ralph is an awesome homage to Astro Boy/Ultraman & tokusatsu type entertainment, and it's suitable for all ages! Definitely my favorite thing by Brian, and he's currently on tour supporting the release. I thought some of you peoples would enjoy this, and maybe if you're in one of the tour spots you could check it out & meet the author.

Reggie-12 is a classic Japanese adventure manga story reworked in Ralph's trademark style and told with the wit and structure of the contemporary sitcom. The story, about the adventures of an enthusiastic young robot, a bumbling sad-sack friend, a wise-cracking cat, and a forgetful inventor, was first serialized in the seminal Asian culture magazine Giant Robot and quickly became one of the magazine's most popular features. It's a witty send-up of the infallible boy hero, and it's got pizza and video games. Pizza! Video games!
