Small publishers also announced new titles at the San Diego Comic Con.
Highlights:
GIANT MONSTER #1 and #2 (of 2)
"This September, Steve Niles arrives at Boom! with a bang. Steve and I like to joke about Giant Monster -- want to guess what it's about?! But with a more serious face, it's a story about an astronaut, Maggert, who arrives back into earth's re-entry from his first manned space flight, and as he does, he's consumed by a space parasite. Shortly afterwards, he's mutated into a monster, consuming anything he can get his hands on -- sharks, sailors -- and is growing larger by the minute. It's a wicked romp, lots of fun, and that's even before the Nazi robot shows up ..."
Japan
Ponent Mon/Fanfare's Stephen Robson: "From Ponent Mon comes a huge new manga project called appropriately Japan. It looks set to be a veritable monster of a title, combining the works of 17 creators each giving their opinions and views on Japan."
The Times of Botchan
"The Meija Era (1868-1912) was probably the most defining period in Japanese history. It marked a time of massive change from the more traditional Tokugawa Era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world."
Fat Boy and Harvey #1
It is written and inked by Howard M. Shum and penciled by E.W. Clayton. The cover is by Sean "Cheeks" Galloway. The comic is social satire and is about a young struggling artist and his kung fu loving cousin from Hong Kong.
