“Crazy fun! Josh and Jorge spin Yon Kuma firmly in a world of action and comedy. Bunyan Paulson is a character taking the wrestling sport to new heights — and we’re happy to follow.”-Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen)

Josh Hechinger & Jorge Muñoz’s Yon Kuma is a energetic take on pro wrestling, mixed with popular manga motifs and done with strong cartooning. So far very well done, and much better dynamics than in most print comics, let alone online ones. –Steven Grant (Punisher, X, Badlands, Permanent Damage)

“From the eye-catching and button-pushing title, to the story by Jeff McComsey and James Cooper, the art by McComsey, and the right-out-of-the-gate speeding bullet pace, Alterna Comics may just have the best comic on their hands that they’ve published to date.” –Geeks of Doom

“This is a great book, and I think Alterna Comics could have a great success on their hands. American Terror could be considered a junior V for Vendetta–following in that book’s fight-for-revolution footsteps. Search this volume out and look for future volumes. You’ll want to read them.” –Karyn Pinter, Comics Bulletin

“The conventions of a political tale are presented smartly. American Terror is old-school yet relevant and modern.  The artwork reminds me of how Comic Books really can be art. This book isn’t written to be an event-filled franchise, it is a well-written, beautifully weaved tale.” –Project Fanboy

Created by Jeff McConsey and James Comsey, originally published by Alterna Comics, American Terror is adapted by Robot Comics to create a version specifically formatted for mobile devices. The mobile adaptation of is also available for Android mobiles through the Android Market.

Millions of people died and the world is a better place, but nobody remembers why. Haunted by his dead comrades, Victor decides to do the one thing he thought he’d never do: Spill his guts.
