October 1, 2008 11:01 am I actually have not written a review yet for the site, but I'm down to write one for this book.

September 30, 2008 8:38 pm Pulls being down is not good.  I don't understand why Kate Spencer is not resonating with more people.  Anyone who read Alias or is reading Daredevil should be into this.

September 25, 2008 6:05 pm @josh- Thanks for the clarification.  I was just wondering because during certain parts of Lone Wolf and Cub, I felt the same way about it as Connor did about Battle Royale. Don't get me wrong, I liked Lone Wolf and Cub but sometimes I felt unclean reading it.

September 25, 2008 4:58 pm @Connor- I know that.  I felt that while watching the show that Josh seemed as disgusted by Battle Royale's content as you did.  If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.  I do still want to know how Josh felt about that sort of content in relation to Lone Wolf and Cub.

September 25, 2008 4:12 pm @josh- I was wondering how you felt about the way women were portrayed in Lone Wolf and Cub?  If I remember correctly you read it and liked it.  On the show, you did not care to have rape and exploitation of women in your books like there was in Battle Royale which I totally understand.  However, Lone Wolf and Cub had lots of horrible things happening to women all the time.  Examples like a mentally handicapped women pleasuring herself in front of a bunch of horny old men with a dildo or the time where Ogami had to pleasure a prostitute in front of other men or else she would have been ganged raped seem to me to be as bad as what was in the first volume of Battle Royale.  If fact that woman that avoid the gang rape enjoyed it and proclaimed Ogami as a man's man.  I was just wondering if these things detracted from your enjoyment of Lone Wolf and Cub?

September 24, 2008 6:18 pm I hope that you guys do this again.  It is fun to see people trying to relate to manga when they are not familar with it.  I hope that you continue to try out new manga because there literally is something for everyone.  I might suggest that the crew try out some shojo like Nana or Maison Ikkoku which are primarily made for young women.  They are usually romantic, funny, and ground in reality as opposed to typical manga that you guys are familiar with.
