Blog Alert: Dog Eaters

Dog Eaters is a six issue manga mini-series that was originally a screenplay written by Malcom Wong. The art is done by Guillermo A. Angel. The link does go to a blog with news about the comic book along with links to the story and characters. While I am not much of a manga reader, I do like this little blurb about Dog Eaters:

"Mankind failed in its first attempt to transcend the Petroleum Age. The Die Off killed nine out of ten people worldwide. One hundred and seventy five years later, civilization consists of scattered nomadic tribes, isolated casino-cities, and roving bands of predatory bandits.

"This is the world of the Black Dog Clan."

Manga and science fiction fans might want to check Dog Eaters out.
