Felipe Smith

“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.

TOKYOPOP Classics

MBQ, Volume 1

“Smith weaves together many interconnected stories in a final crescendo of hilarity, adrenaline-pumping violence and smokin’ hot chicks.” —Publishers Weekly
 
 Round three: the knuckle-busting conclusion to writer/artist Felipe Smith’s tale of talent finding recognition in Los Angeles! Omario still doesn’t have a comic book contract or money—or a roommate or food to eat, if he keeps acting the fool. Rookie Cop O’Malley struggles to manage fear and anger as he dives headfirst into Ktown’s underworld. Over on the West Side, Brian and Jeff still hold down their daily grind. Will they be stuck there forever? Read and find out!
 
Praise for the MBQ Trilogy
 
 “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
 
 “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)

MBQ, Volume 3

“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.

 “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)
