X-CALIBER

This many peeps have found the glory that awaits them after viewing this site:

Hello, Hello. And welcome to the X-Caliber Affiliated Manga Corps Homepage! Now you might be wondering what the hell an Affiliated Manga Corps is, quite simply we just made it up to sound cool. X-Caliber is itself an amateur manga (Japanese animation in comic form) company created by Ryan, Franklin and Guillermo (because of his weird ass Hispanic name we will refer to him here as Boner, just like we do in real life).

Manga Run is, unfortunately, an idea that may never see the light of day. Because all the creators of X-Caliber are still in High School, the opportunities to work on our respective projects are few and far between. With all the time constraints (and our own short attention spans) it is often very difficult to fill 25 pages in a month (sometimes much longer) like a standard American comic, so we decided to go the Japanese route. Manga Run is the Japanese route. We would create an X-Caliber magazine that would showcase all our respective work (you guessed it Kreskin, the magazine is called Manga Run!). The first installment of each series would include 25 pages or more to start off the stories and each episode after that would regularly include 13-17 pages. This shorter format would allow us to move the story faster (not stretch it out to fit 25 pages) while allowing us to work faster with more time to complete it. Unfortunately, due to unexpected problems (Boner!) that occurred shortly after the initial idea of Manga Run it doesn't appear it will ever fly.

Ah, yes, the stories! Those lovely little tales that spawned in Hometown, America (A really boring Hometown, America) and eventually grew to encompass entire worlds. They are stories of victory, the horrors of war, redemption, death, friendships lost and friendships grown, the pursuit of power, ingenuity, the illusions between good and evil, discovery, false godhood, corrupt corporations and last but not least these are stories of a big dog guy in a trenchcoat beating the crap out of strange villains like Nacho Cheese Man (That of course being Dog Man)! We've also got some weird little Imp's running around with some big 'ol mecha (That of course being Imp World).

Shattered Worlds takes place a little into the future when Earth has expanded out into space and founded two colony worlds, Utopia and Gaia, and met alien races both friendly and hostile, The Nolocks and the Dimercast. Internal pressures and discontent threaten to crack the Terran Alliance in two, just as a new deadly threat emerges, the Das'Khan (or Intron). Finding itself vastly underpowered and undermanned against these new aliens the Alliance must find a way to stand tall and survive against both internal and external threats.

See the Terran Alliance crumble before your eyes at the Shattered Worlds page!

As the name implies this is a world over run with tiny little Imps. The Gotukin Imps have built a fabulous civilization with advanced machines and technology. Now the Gotukin's greatest enemies, the Etchikin Imps wielding their fabled mind powers, have emerged from their centuries-long exile determined to recapture the glory they believe was stolen from them. A race against time ensues as the two imp tribes each try to capture the scattered Armor of Sor'gen which holds ultimate power and ultimate answers. Across the Imp World the war for the Armor rages, powerful mecha battling incredible telekinetics as the Imps slowly learn about their world, the origins of their race and the rivalries between the Gotukin and Etchikin. And only one person may be able to stop it all, Mieto, the mysterious half-breed, who may hold the key to ultimate salvation or to ultimate destruction.

Let me at those cute (but deadly) little creatures at the Imp World Page!

Dog Man is raunchy comical journey through the world of both American and Japanese comics and animation. The story centers around Boner's dog who pumps up his muscles and decides to fight crime. As his popularity among the masses increases he fights ever stranger and stranger villains only to find ever thing is controlled by the evil The-Man-In-The-Black-Tower and his all encompassing corporate powerbase Really Good Soap Enterprises. With villains like Nacho Cheese Man, Minirva Buttsex and That-Guy-Without-A-Name, how could Dog Man get any funnier, or raunchier?

I want (need) to see the raunchiness at the Dog Man Page!
