Manga Mavericks, LLC has announced a new silent sci-fi manga debuting in November. Great Metal God is a one-shot from creator Iwakuni Kogyo and will be available digital-first before releasing in print in December.
This silent manga that pays tribute to giant robot sci-fi classics. Here’s the full synopsis:
Jump into the cockpit of a sci-fi-like fairy tale of colossal proportions! In Great Metal God, an unknown steel visitor descends from the heavens, leaving destruction in its wake. Mankind’s struggles are in vain before the metal marauder, however, salvation comes from an unlikely source – an ancient ritual and a young girl’s resolve. Told almost completely without text, instead utilizing page after page of incredible artwork, readers will fall to their knees before the Great Metal God’s advent.
Check out an excerpt from the manga below.
“I don’t think I can express how happy it makes me to have Great Metal God make its English debut,” sayid Kogyo in a statement. “The theme of this work was born from the giant robots on TV and in manga that I grew up with as a child. I hope readers in North America enjoy it.”
Great Metal God will be available digitally on November 19 and in print on December 16. Pre-orders are available now.
