Wow

Talking mushrooms, punkrock faeries, and truth-revealing gunshots abound in this bizarre, nonsensical and beautiful manga by Sonny Strait. I think the best way to describe this book would be as the illegitimate love child of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Tank Girl after dropping brown acid (it's that weird.) The artwork is a spectacular mix of Rumiko Takahashi and Looney Tunes, which fits the odd and original storyline perfectly. Strait has introduced us to a refreshing departure from your typical manga fare with this stunning first installment, and I will definately be picking up future volumes.
