The protagonist, Akira, fights as a superhero by uploading his consciousness into a powerful humanoid robot. It's done by the creator of the Journey to the Center of the Earth manga adaptation so you can expect rich details in the artwork interspersed with intense action scenes.

We love our fans and customers, so we wanted to share this article that explains why so many cons wait until the last minute to cancel. The bottom line is that most cons are run as nonprofits and they cannot afford the massive loss they would take if they initiated the cancellation. However, the government forced closures to...
