“Combines the best of manga . . . visually rich in emotion and comedy. . . . with a violent . . . entertaining . . .hip-hop gangsta sensibility. . . . a shameless delight.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Omario is a struggling artist who's got quite the chip on his shoulder—but he’d better get over himself before he ends up flipping burgers at MBQ, the local fast-food restaurant. When the hopes and absurdities of trying to make it in this world clash, Omario might just melt down like a cheeseburger under a blazing heat lamp.

“Dynamic and comical . . . Full of breathtaking violence, hot sexy chicks and an utterly absurd comic-within-a-comic, MBQ is almost too good to be true.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Big Bro Brody is the biggest, meanest, ugliest fighter in the business—and he ain’t none too happy about his little brother Richie getting a beatdown by Dee, who is trying to move a shipment of hot electronics. Across town, Omario has finished his comic submission and presents it with brim and bluster to Jeff, who is too nice to say what he really thinks about the work. He is also too nice to remind Omario about the rent. Praise for MBQ, Volume 1 “MBQ is more than manga . . . Felipe Smith doesn’t fall into the trap of half-assedly remixing well-known poses, expressions, and phrases into ‘new’ stories. He’s actually drawing instead of cloning, his characters look totally different from one another, and if he ever uses a manga cliché, it’s for good reason.” —Wired “Weirdly thoughtful, thrillingly violent and cheesily sexy, this book is a guilty pleasure and a shameless delight. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the future of original English manga.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Follows the life of Omario, a frustrated comic book artist trying to find recognition in Los Angeles, as he struggles to find a publisher, pay the rent, and deal with a rookie cop with anger management issues who has it in for him.

Time travel has been used to stop the birth of Christ, altering the timeline of human history. Lukas is the last Qumranian, an ancient sect sworn to secrecy and to protect the prophecies that bind the worlds together. When they develop a powerful technology that can control time, their discovery attracts unwanted attention. When the Unclean -- a militant force powered by dark magic -- attack the hidden Qumranian compound under what once was the Dead Sea, Lukas barely escapes. But at what cost? With his life intact, he finds himself a prisoner in an alternate timeline not his own. Alone in a foreign landscape ravaged by wars, advanced by technology, oppressed by a corporation partnered with a ruthless religious group slaughtering any who oppose them in the streets, sinister supernatural forces, and an artifact that literally can -- and has -- changed human history, Lukas must not only struggle to stay alive, but locate the only thing that can prevent the Unclean and the powers that control them from destroying the world. Will Lukas manage to retrieve the artifact before more damage is done to the timeline of history, or will he be too late, forever lost in a nightmarish alternate reality?
