WirePop -- www.wirepop.com -- announced today the new webcomic "Masaru," by Brian Holley, will be joining the webcomic line-up on WirePop.com, the growing Manga and Manga-styled webcomic subscription magazine.

“Masaru breaks from the norm when it comes to mange-styled comics.” says Panella, WirePops’ Publisher “Brian is putting a unique spin on the super hero tale and putting it in a highly animated style comic. I think everyone will be surprised at the clean look of this comic by the very talented team that Brian has put together, and we’re glad they decided to join WirePop.”

Holley, talked about "Masaru" saying, "The title is about a twelve year-old kid that is the strongest super-hero in the Universe! He is physically strong, you know, like Hulk or Superman. Some of the ideas we explore are: ‘What kind of an attitude would a kid that age, with that kind of power, really have?’ and ‘How would other super-heroes (and villains) react?’ Masaru experiences a series of adventures that lead him across the Galaxy, and eventually into a discovery of the true source of his awesome power.

“I am so excited about the team we have put together for Masaru that I feel like I’m going to ‘pop’! Omar’s pencils have a unique Manga feel, and Santiago Lozano, a world-class artist, is doing the finishes, inks and colors. We couldn’t have a better team."
