"...doesn’t hold one kinetic bit of wackiness back...profoundly twisted but upbeat energy..."
~ Wendy Pini (Creator of Elfquest)
A series worth reading!
This is a story that keeps you hooked and will not let go!
There is a song--it is a key to unlocking a gateway into a world of Shadows. A dark yet magical place where faeries, ogres and hobgoblins co-exist. One such creature is Goat, a homely being considered insane by the others. Her only friend is a talking mushroom who assures her she is a "fairy princess in training." However the truth of Goat's destiny is far more interesting...
Jaybird Birches (Aka Goat)
Our heroine. She is a faerie with little to no glamour to speak of. But Goat is convinced that she's "a beautiful faerie princess in training."
Mushroom
Our sidekick. Mushroom is an enchanted...well...MUSHROOM! Mushroom tries to get Goat to practice her faerie powers, but she won’t have anything to do with it. She once tried the basic faerie power of “size change” and became a slug for three days.
The Puck
Our only hope. What’s a Puck? The Puck is the faeries’ ambassador to humanity. He is the link that keeps humans believing in magic. But since the Industrial Age, Faerie magic has dwindled, causing most Faeries to fall into a deep slumber. And Puck is nowhere to be found.
Titania
Our Queen. Titania, queen of the faeries, desperately searches for a successor to the Puck before the realm of Faeries falls into eternal slumber.
The Glamour Gloms
Our villains. The Glamour Gloms manage to stay awake through their connection to glamour. Their leader is Cosmo, and she believes herself worthy of being the next Puck.
REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:
"...doesn’t hold one kinetic bit of wackiness back...profoundly twisted but upbeat energy..." ~Wendy Pini, creator of Elfquest
Hero to millions of confused children, Sonny Strait was once worshiped as a distant cousin to Wakka Wakka Wakka, the Hawaiian god of polite laughter. He now uses his powers strange to pirate the oceans of the Geek Arts...all of the Geek Arts.
In the high seas of illustration is efforts have been witnessed as a comic book artist and writer for DC’s Elfquest series, an illustrator for PVP card games (most recently for the Champions of the Galaxy Pro Wrestler Card Game) and developed product illustrations for Ultra-Pro deck boxes and card sleeves.
Some of you might already be familiar with We Shadows creator Sonny Strait. He's the talented voice actor who gives Dragonball Z's Krillin a voice, and brings Full Metal Alchemist's Maes Hughes to life.
With We Shadows, Sonny takes that manic voice-over energy and spills it all over the pages of manga. The results are just as loony and outrageous. As Sonny says, "You will believe an actor can draw!"
I hope you are as entertained, bemused, and enchanted by We Shadows as I am. Seriously, though, how could you not be? Doesn't everyone love butt-kickin' faeries?

My friend and I LOVE this book and can't wait until the next one comes out. WHEN WILL IT COME OUT???!?!? Anyways, it is a delightful mix of midsummer night's dream and the ugly duckling. The end of volume one leaves you wanting more. PLEASE MAKE MORE!!! So many american manga artists don't get to make many volumes of their stories and I would really love to see this one go far.

This is an awesome manga, i got lucky and had a chance to have it signed by Sonny Strait himself and talked to him about it and alot of his other characters. The second book is going to be an awesome one just from the preview on this book and what he told me.
