The Sickos read some manga (anime in holding-still form)! We go nuts over James Stokoe's newest western manga Orphan and the Five Beasts. Joe explains the goop-based economy of Tsutomo Nihei's Aposimz. And Tom goes sicko mode over Pluto, Naoki Urasawa's reimagining of a classic Astro Boy arc. Comics...are good!!!
