Cannon God Exaxxion #1 Stage 1 (Part 1 of 8) (Mr)

(W/A) Kenichi Sonoda. by KENICHI SONODA; produced by STUDIO PROTEUS The action-packed new ongoing series by Gunsmith Cats creator Kenichi Sonoda is here at last* with a bargain price and super-sized 48-page kickoff issue! It's a typical school day for Hoichi. He's skipping class and beating the stuffing out of a bunch of upperclassmen* which makes him about the only person on the whole planet who isn't glued to the television - today's the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Space Elevator* a gigantic earth-to-orbit elevator built by those lovable aliens* the Riofaldians* who arrived on Earth ten years ago. Today* the mass media is proud to report* tens of thousands of Riofaldians are working side by side with humanity* as good neighbors on the march to global prosperity. Hoichi's ultra-rich* ultra-brilliant* and ultra-eccentric grandfather (the author of a loony book claiming the Riofalds are out to take over the Earth) doesn't agree and this has driven a wedge between him and his equally eccentric grandson. But that - and the history of mankind - is about to change forever! Don't dare miss the series that's redefining the giant-robot story for the 21st century - Cannon God EXAXXION! * Features a wrap around cover!
