25.11.2007 08:00 AM


GAH!!! NO SHOWING!!!!

24.11.2007 08:00 AM


Thanks for all the comments. There is some fairly graphic violence and I know some people aren't into that. And this isn't really American manga. I prefer international because I'm English and Hans is German but has lived all over. Multi-culture rules!

26.10.2007 08:00 AM


I read the first volume, and i must say i liked it. i can really see it going somewhere; although it isn't perfected and has some kinks to be worked out, you're still doing a darn good job. many American done manga i see i don't really enjoy, so i was happy to see something different yet ... good. :) as far as content goes, i don't think it was too bloody at all. i'm honestly surprized people are complaining about it; even if someone is squimish, they don't have to read it :p its all coming from your mind and you shouldn't have to censor yourself. :p and besides, i love blood and gore ahah. i really liked the "romantic time" Sam had with his girl. his body is VERY hot.

20.10.2007 08:00 AM


D: rest of comment got cut off. well, it said something to the effect of "thank you for creating such a wonderful comic. i hope to see more and i'll definitely buy. you're a great inspiration, and seeing you achieve your dreams as a manga artist makes me believe i can as well :)

20.10.2007 08:00 AM

Poison Candy v.1
by David Hine, art by Hans Steinbach
Published by TOKYOPOP

Slugline: How can it get worse than finding out you have a fatal cancer that gives you super powers? Well...

I wanted to see what this artist did after Midnight Opera, and here it is -- overcaffeinated and raw. I mean that as a compliment. And finally, a manga by a comics writer that I can give an unreserved thumbs-up to.

Sam's rock-star dreams get sidetracked by the SKAR virus -- seriously sidetracked. Volume 1 is a prologue, and if the action sequences and the time spent on even throwaway characters are any indication, this could be a fun ride. Sam spent a century in deep freeze waiting for a cure, and how he's healed, mutant-powered and freshly traumatized by realizing that he has nobody left now. What happens next is very much up in the air.

I hope to catch volume 2 when it comes out. Hopefully, in less than a hundred years.

Poison Candy v.1 is available to buy from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga. It's also at Amazon.
