Genesis comic books issue 1

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and Art by Fumino Hayashi. Based on an original story by Gainax. First serialized in Newtype USA, Angelic Days takes the angst-ridden EVA pilots of Neon Genesis Evangelion and sets them in the lighter, brighter world of high school. Harried, harassed, and harangued - that's Shinji Ikari's life in a nutshell. Still, his days are fairly typical for a Tokyo teenager: he's got a pushy pal in Asuka who rudely rouses him whenever he's running late for school, and he's surrounded by the standard assortment of high school goofballs. In fact, everything's just as you'd expect, until one day when Shinji bumps into a strange girl he's never seen before, and she promptly accuses him of peeking up her skirt! But that's not the worst of it. Strange dreams have been haunting his sleep lately-dreams of a robotic "other" just beyond the horizon. With comedy, action, and romance (plus a fair share of fan service), Angelic Days is the manga NGE fans have been waiting for! Softcover, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., 184 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $9.99.

One-Shot. June 2013. Written by Michael McCarthy and illustrated by Robb Taft. When the Venus probe returned to Earth in 1968 and crashed in rural Pennsylvania it was impossible to hide from the media. As such, that event was carefully spun by government handlers and eventually told by Mr. George Romero in his groundbreaking fiction film "The Night of the Living Dead". What you probably dont know however, is that upon re-entry, the Venus probe actually broke into at least two pieces, with the second, and larger piece landing in a remote part of war torn Vietnam where several characters from OUR movie happen to be working bringing peace, prosperity, and freedom to the people of Vietnam. The Government has spent years attempting to bury what actually happened in Vietnam. Now, for the first time in print, you can find out for yourself the truth. Think Apocalypse Now - only its apocalypse NOW. Vietnam. 1968. Thats a lot of bodies to come back from the dead. Might make that incident in Pennsylvania look like a Saturday morning kids show. One way to find out. 7" x 10.25". 20 pages. Color. Cover price $4.20.
