Robot God Akamatsu, Vol. 1, Graphic Novel, Hard Cover


Book Description

Robot God Akamatsu is a homage to the Super Robot genre of the late 1970 s and early 1980 s, which helped to shape the imagination of an entire generation. Other-dimensional giant monsters (Dai-Kaijus and NecroBeasts), lead by the malevolent Balan Uru attack Massachusetts. Robot God Akamatsu (RGA, for short) is awakened from his ancient slumber by modern science and ancient magic. RGA is piloted by the souls of three special humans and entrusted with the fate of defending the Earth! RGA's story is about the relationship between a father and his estranged son, as well as the abuse of power and how far some are willing to go to see their goals met. It is a little bit Godzilla, a tad bit of Force Five and a mighty rocket punch of the Shogun Warriors.
