Scott Green, the anime/manga master over at nerd superblog Ain't It Cool News, is pretty excited about our upcoming release of Ax: A Collection of Alternative Manga. How excited? Well, his latest column is a 6,000-word preview-review of the book, with analyses of every artist, every story, all wrapped up in a fast-paced tour of the history of Japanese comics!
