Cannon God Exaxxion #11

Kenichi Sonoda's mecha manga series rolls into its eleventh issue with a cover spotlighting Akane Hino — a red-clad, auburn-haired young woman suspended within the sleek cylindrical form of what appears to be a massive mechanical cannon. The cover text declares her "the one person who knows the identity of Earth's only hope," making her the clear dramatic focus of this stage of the story. At a generous 40 pages, this Dark Horse/Studio Proteus edition gives Sonoda plenty of room to deliver the action and intrigue fans of Gunsmith Cats would expect from him.
