MBQ was a true delight to read. An original storyline with edgy, expressive, and gritty artwork, Felipe Smith carries the reader through the lives of individuals in the LA area. What truly surprised me was to get a perspective from "both sides of the track." You see the weak sides of the bad guys and tough side of the good guys. Felipe managed to create a realistic setting with incredibly believable characters.

While the cover is a bit misleading--the cutesy artwork can lead one to believe this is for a younger crowd--and I found myself a little queasy at some of the explicitness in the first chapter, MBQ is still an engrossing manga to be reckoned with. I look forward to future volumes and hope to see more of the main character and his interaction in the lives of those around him. This is a must-read for more mature readers looking for something refeshing and new.

This right here sets a new standard for American made Manga. If you are looking for something different and for something that keeps it
G A N G T A this right here is your book. I thought American made Manga had nothing to offer but then I tried MBQ. If you like Tokyo Tribes (you should) then check this ish right here. The book is ultra violent and funny and adult not to be missed yo!

This is without a shadow of a doubt the freshest, hippest and most intelligent piece of writing and drawing I've seen in forever! Buy it before this dude becomes far too famous and his work is unobtainable. I've got a feeling about this.... the structure of stories, the factions on his characters.... all is totally believable and transports you... I dunno simply elsewhere.

This is a great comic! I've read it no less than 5 times in the month that I've had it. I'll read it again and again.

Do your self a favor and buy as many as you can get your hands on. This is the start of a new era in graphic storytelling. Felipe Smith is a genius. I give it a mind-blowing 10 out of 10!!!
