Press Gang Announces ‘Sun Bakery’ By Corey Lewis, Calling It ‘A One-Man Shonen Jump’

I don't want to call it a comeback, but Corey Lewis is set to have a pretty interesting year. Not only is he providing art for IDW's GI Joe: Deviations, in which in which he's given Cobra Commander the most sinister redesign in years, but today, Alternative Comics launched its new Press Gang imprint by announcing Sun Bakery, a bimonthly anthology series from Lewis that they're describing as a "one-man Shonen Jump," debuting in April.

Lewis, best known for his high-energy, manga-inspired fight comics, will be providing three stories for the 48-page full-color series, including the Metroid-esque Arem, a sword-fighting action comic called Dream Skills, and Bat Rider, which appears to be about a man with a baseball bat who rides a skateboard, and is therefore already the best comic of the year. Check out a preview below!

If there's not a t-shirt by the end of this that says "Swords Have Become The Ultimate Life Accessory (For Life)," then honestly, what are we even doing here?

Here's the word from the official press release:
