Comic | Johnny Hiro | Half-Asian, All Hero
The excitement never ends, even though Johnny Hiro really wants it to...
By day, he's Johnny Hiro; by night? He's still Johnny Hiro.
Fred Chao's comic book series "JOHNNY HIRO", published by Adhouse books, is now on its 3rd issue, has been receiving lots of accolades from comic aficionados around the web. Our accidental hero, Johnny, lives with his girl Mayumi in New York, which everyone knows is the center of pop culture action and monster mayhem. They're like every other couple going through the everyday struggles of making rent, working their mundane jobs and of course, going to court because Godzilla destroyed their apartment.
Chao cleverly mixes the fantastical with the everyday, introducing villains like the 47 Ronin Businessmen featured in the latest installment, which is, "a modern spin on a classic Japanese fairy tale" (SOURCE).
