I Am A Hero is gorgeous throughout, an effective blending of gritty realism and stylised action (there are even sections drawn from an FPS perspective), but Kengo Hanazawa’s art really gets inside your head every 10-20 pages, when he takes a break from writing and just blows out an entire page (or two), devoting it to a single frame. While the majority of Western comics end up coloured, many manga are drawn solely in black & white while there are practical considerations behind this (it’s faster for serialization), I also tend to prefer it, because it helps draw my eyes to the finer details, which in turn can really help immerse me in a comic’s world. One of the things that I love about my favourite manga ( Blame!, Akira, Lone Wolf & Cub) is the quality of the linework amongst the best artists. But I wanted to spend some time today looking at one aspect in particular that leaves me speechless every time I flick through it, and that’s the art. Like Toshi, I’ve been reading the manga I Am A Hero, and like Toshi, I’ve been loving it. Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.blog comments powered by Disqus

“The level of story telling put here is one of the best in the industry, well-done and just far ahead from the rest.”-Deremoe “It has the slow buildup of a psychological horror manga, but when the zombies hit, they hit hard, and the manga accelerates into volumes-long fight-or-flight sequences that seem like they’ll never stop.”-Jason Thompson ( Manga: The Complete Guide) Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop or through these fine retailers: I am a Hero Omnibus Volume 1 is in stores April 6, 2016.
