What is BEAR BEATER BUNYAN??? (Besides a super-catchy title, that is…)
It’s a brand new series now on Android and the iTunes marketplace, published by Robot Comics and (for iTunes) bundled with the new iRobot Comics Viewer, and it is one of the most all-out action-packed comic extravaganzas you’ll ever read pitting one upstart young bear wrestler against The Four Great Bears!  And each issue is packed with twice the content as in its original mobile release!
Think giant mecha manga, or Godzilla clashing with other titanic beasties, only replace all of that with a dwarf-sized kid wrestler and four giant-sized bears – then you’ve got Bear Beater Bunyan by writer Josh Hechinger (Comic Book Tattoo, The Grave Doug Freshley) and artist Jorge F. Muñoz.

“Crazy fun! Josh and Jorge spin [Bear Beater Bunyan] 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)

Josh Hechinger & Jorge Muñoz’s [Bear Beater Bunyan] is a energetic take on pro wrestling, mixed with popular manga motifs and done with strong cartooning. So far very well done, and much better dynamics than in most print comics, let alone online ones. –Steven Grant (Punisher, X, Badlands, Permanent Damage)

“Yon Kuma” Becomes “Bear Beater Bunyan”

Robot 13: Colossus! cover

“Colossus! Part 2”: The most talked-about indy comic of 2009 continues its run on iTunes with a thrilling second issue, packed with even more action and intrigue!  Robot 13’s quest to discover who he continues: seeing only fragments of his past, the robot warrior desperately tries to remember where he came from and why he feels compelled to battle mythological creatures of destruction.  With R13 aboard, you can be sure there’s rough sailing ahead… and this time, it’s in the form of a Phoenix!  But this ravaging battle provides just a taste of what’s ahead for our intrepid hero, as a diabolical figure watches from the shadows… and isn’t happy that monsters keep dying!

Writer Tom Hall and artist Daniel Bradford continue the saga of their creation that has captured the imagination of comic fans the world over.

“This second issue is superior to the first one…I can sum up this series in two words: must buy.”  –Kris Bather, Broken Frontier

“Fantastic.  Phenomenal.  Best book I’ve read all year.  This is absolutely must reading and I can’t promote it enough.” –Jeff Marsick, Newsarama

“It’s sort of monster-of-the-month, but there’s a deeper plot that’s unfolding and tying the fights together. I hope 13’s able to figure out what it is, mostly because I like him and want to see him get the answers he’s looking for.” –Michael May, Robot 6

A story so shocking, so unorthodox, so ridiculous and impossible and downright entertaining it was chosen by TIME Magazine as one of 2007’s Top Graphic Novels of the Year!  What story could this be?  Why, the cult online hit Erfworld: The Battle for Gobwin Knob, which has officially hit mobiles thanks to the mischievous machinations of Robot Comics!

Erfworld is a full-color fantasy epic about an obsessive strategy gamer who is summoned to lead a real war.  Originally published online under the Creative Commons license, Erfworld is today one of the most popular and heavily trafficked webcomic sites, supported by its own wiki consisting of 5000+ fan-created articles about the Erfworld universe!

Everything in Erfworld is clever — the dialogue, the sound effects, the complex relationships between the king and his underlings, and the strange mechanics of Erfworld, which are designed to tweak the clichés of strategy and fantasy gaming. Plus the art is oddly beautiful and very witty. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if a squadron of teddy bears fought a squadron of giant spiders, head straight for Erfworld.”  –Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine

Erfworld: The Battle for Gobwin Knob is a full-color graphic novel written by Rob Balder (PartiallyClips) and illustrated by Jamie Noguchi (Angry Zen Master).

Erfworld is available for download as a single app on the following platforms:
