Felipe Smith is as talented and skilled a manga writer/artist as you will find on any continent, and his work on the latest installment of MBQ
is his best yet. This book is one of a very rare handful that can consistently make me laugh out loud, but it’s far more than a humor book. MBQ is funny, true, but it’s also realistic, smart, touching, thrilling, hip, violent, insightful and outrageous. Volume 3, which hit stands last week, is the series conclusion and does an excellant job of tying together the books’ broad cast and seemingly disperate elements into a single powerful theme you can take away with you.
Some of you may remember that I interviewed Felipe last December for my Making Good column. Well in honor of his Meltdown appearance tonight, I’m doing an exclusive follow-up interview with him right here on this blog. Look for it later today.
In the meantime, check out Felipe’s own behind-the-scenes look at MBQ: Deadline Ass-Beating Volume 1
And the details for tonight:
