ceruseeSomeone asked me for a description of the manga 20th Century Boys, and I was so taken with the cuteness of my answer that I felt compelled to share it with y'all:
Oh. Hmm. What it's about. That's a toughie. It's about bunch of kids who have a secret hiding place out in a cornfield, where they fantasize about saving the world from a giant robot and listen to rock 'n' roll. Then they grow up, and the things they imagined start coming true. Conspiricies abound, people die horribly from contact blood diseases, and much is made of the ability to bend spoons with your mind.
Vol. 1 available from Viz in April or May. Totally worth your hard-earned cash, I assure you. Remember how Naoki Urusawa's other epic series, Monster was so awesome? What? You didn't read Monster? Too bad Viz didn't give a release date for that, isn't? WTF, Viz. WTF.
