review 1: This kind of blew my mind. I wish it had been longer. Lyga explored some really interesting things, and there were some really terrific jokes which, when the writer explored them more thoroughly, had terrific implications -- in the old sense of the word. I loved it. Colleen Doran's art is beautiful as always, and the play in the gutters amazed me. Highly recommend to fans of manga and Western comics -- or both.
review 2: I can't tell whether this was intended to be the beginning of a series or not, but as a stand alone story, "Mangaman" is incredibly strong. Combining traditional American comic art with Japanese pop-manga art creates an incredibly interesting series of images that offer as much for analysis as the story itself. Regarding the story, this graphic... more novel was both humorous and exciting and a must-read for any fan of comics. Additionally, this novel could serve as a great entryway into the world of graphic novels. less
