Once known as Yon Kuma, now it’s BEAR BEATER BUNYAN
Same story, TWICE the content!!!
Driven by a tragic back-story involving ice-cream, twelve-year-old Bunyan Paulson quests to defeat the Yon Kuma, the Four Great Bears a wrestler has to beat in order to become the greatest. Yes, Bear Beater Bunyan is basically an excuse to write and draw fight scenes involving a kid beating the tar out of huge bears. These new editions(*) are double-sized and loaded with extras!
(*) Readers who bought the previous edition won’t be charged again.
“Crazy fun! Josh and Jorge spin Yon Kuma firmly in a world of action and comedy. Bunyan Paulson is a character taking the wrestling sport to new heights — and we’re happy to follow.”-Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen)
A comic written by Josh Hechinger and drawn by Jorge F. Muñoz, published for mobiles by Robot Comics.

Bleeding Cool recently rounded up all the big-wigs in the digital comics scene and asked them what they thought the impact of the Apple iTablet might be. Included in the round up, because we’re super-stars don’cha know, was our very own…
Hermes Pique
Robot Comics
I’m the Director of Robot Comics, mobile comics publisher. Among our titles are Ubunchu, Valentine, Robot 13, Jesus Hates Zombies, Erfworld and Cory Doctorow’s Futuristic Tales of the Here and Now. Our most popular software is Droid Comic Viewer, the leading CBR/CBZ comic viewer for Android mobiles.
There seems to be a lot of buzz amidst traditional comic book publishers about the iTablet. I think part of the charm is that most will be able to port their inventory with very little investment. Because of this buzz, the iTablet will make these publishers think more about digital distribution, and hopefully something good will come out of it.
However, you can’t ignore the fact that the iTablet will not have the reach that the iPhone and iPod touch had/have. It’ll probably cost a lot more and there won’t be carriers with plans to reduce its perceived cost. Like, say I wanted to be able to buy the iTablet for $99 with a two-year contract with AT&T. There likely won’t be any offers like that, as there are with iPhones. Additionally, it won’t be as comfortable and safe to carry around. I read comics on the subway, and I wouldn’t dare to carry an iTablet with me. It will have an audience, but I don’t expect it to sell 22 millions units, like the iPhone has.
You can read what EVERYONE thought, including ComiXology, Longbox, Graphic.ly, Comic Rack, and more by clicking here.
Any thoughts on this from our readers? Excited? Indifferent? Will this be a game changer or just a game player? One thing’s for sure: it won’t come and go without an impact.
Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

A high-action, wide-sweeping, episodic pulp adventure by writer Sean Demory and illustrator Steven Sanders (Marvel’s S.W.O.R.D. and Image Comics’ Five Fists of Science).
The bomb-ravaged American Heartland has been largely left out of the equation, falling prey to unchecked corporate land-barons and motorcycle-riding, nazidope-smoking MEF veterans ravaging the wastes. Some small towns have become fortresses, while others have followed the Soviet model and taken to the road, with clans roaming from one corp-compound to the next. Route 66, Interstate 70 and a dozen other superhighways have become the new frontier, where fortunes can be made with grit, cunning and a steady hand.
Welcome to the Thunder Road.

“300″, “I’m With Stupid”, “He Blinded Me With Science”, and “House of Worship” – 4 more kick-ass tales of Jesus smacking the snot out of zombies! Writer Stephen Lindsay is joined by writer Michael Bartolotta and artists Jeff McComsey (American Terror), Lauren Monardo, Lonny Chant, and Mark Lauthier for this third of five outrageous outings featuring Jesus and his shambling zombie sidekick, Laz.
In “300″ Jesus gets a perfect bowling score, bowling down zombies – literally (a must-see!). Then in “I’m With Stupid” our heroes get a little well-deserved R&R, though it’s an awkward scene when one is all-knowing and the other is a brain-dead zombie. “He Blinded Me With Science” shows us that zombies aren’t the worst things to come into contact with, and then in “House of Worship” Jesus hears world that there’s some folks in a church that might be able to cure the world of the zombie plague!
Originally published by Alterna Comics, “Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack-Jack Blues” is now skillfully adapted for mobiles by Robot Comics.

Michael Bracco’s first Original Graphic Novel, Birth, comes to the iPhone/iPod touch
Issues #1 and 2 of Michael Bracco’s Birth are now available on the Apple iTunes marketplace as Birth: Aquan & Teran War! Published by Robot Comics and bundled with the new iRobot Comics Viewer, Birth chronicles a story far more unusual and surprising than mobile users are accustomed to! Issue #1 is offered for free download. Issue #2 is available for the price of $0.99. Issue #3, which will conclude the GN, is to be released shortly.
“The ultimate cautionary anti-war fable, blending fantasy and sci-fi elements into something wholly its own. Bracco’s art is jaw-dropping eye-candy, and the story is a fantastic mesh of text and visuals. This is a tale made to be a comic – it’d be extraordinarily expensive as a film, and perhaps overly didactic as pure text, but as the graphic novel Birth, it’s pitch-perfect. It’s got style, atmosphere and ambiance to spare. And it’s very intelligent and imaginatively executed. A book worth your time and money, no doubt whatsoever. ” –Broken Frontier
