Feature: Yuki vs. Panda Comic

Way back when I decided to put the blog on Twitter one of our first friends was Yuki vs Panda. The creators sent me a link to a pretty fantastic trailer of the comic, check it HERE. Now I am not a huge anime or manga fan, but I fell in love the the art work and this brilliant story!
An epic story about a schoolgirl named Yuki that has mystical kung-fu powers and her nemesis Panda! Yuki vs. Panda was created by Nick Dunec and Graham Misiurak back in 2006. It was actually a one-off skit from a television show they co-created called Dim Sum (watch online). In 2011 Nick and Graham bounced the idea around of Yuki vs. Panda becoming a graphic novel. After breathing life into the characters and mapping out the story, which will be 12 volumes, They found British graphic artist A.L.Jones. As Nick puts it “We just fell in love with her art and it really complemented our writing style well,” I agree! The story is fun 
and very entertaining with A.L.'s lovely artwork bringing it all together.

Nick Dunec is from Haliburton and met Graham Misiurak in Toronto. The two became friends and very creatives partners. Read the official press release HERE

Yuki vs. Panda is available on the website Yuki vs. Panda and as an e-book. You can also purchase vol.1 at Stadium Comics (Brampton), Game Shack (downtown Toronto) & Sunrise Records (Yonge & Bloor location only). As of Aug 14th Yuki vs. Panda is now available at Comixology.

 As I have said, this is a fantastic comic with awesome artwork! The characters and story are well plotted. You will not be disappointed with Yuki vs. Panda.
