New Junk for a New Year

NEW JUNK FOR A NEW YEAR!

San Jose, CA – December, 2006 DrMaster Publications Inc. announces
JUNK,
the upcoming manga by acclaimed comic creator Kia Asamiya, will be
pushed back by a few weeks. Junk #1 will be available nation wide in
mid
January 2007 – just in time for the New Year!

In meantime DrMaster has provided a brief glimpse into the reckless and
destructive world of Junk. See included sample images.

What it's about…
Hiro is a high school student refusing to go to school after a
traumatic
run-in with the local bullies. But his feeble life is forever changed
when, one day, he applies online for a new gadget called “JUNK”.
Once
the mysterious package arrives, he activates the gadget and finds
himself encased within a powered armor JUNK suit. Apparently “the
clothes DO indeed make the man” as Hiro is granted abilities far
beyond
anything the muscle-bound jocks at his school could ever dream. Soon
after, he embarks on nightly rampages getting back at the bullies and
destroying property until he discovers…. There is another with a unit
nearly identical to his own. The owner of the other JUNK suit is a
woman
who's not too keen on Hiro's abuse of his new super-powered
threads, and
smacks him around real good for it. To complicate matters even further,
he accidentally destroys his home and kills his parents! (oops!) Now, a
naïve boy must learn to fend for himself and choose to use his power
for
good or evil.
