Download: $0.99 Back in 2005 the first serious work of faith based manga was born. Starting with Serenity, Realbuzz Studios has done an excellent job revolutionizing the concept of comic/manga meeting religion with their line of manga that does what no other comics before it has done... presenting to readers religiously inspired comics that are well written, finely drawn, and done by people who actually put 100% into their work to produce titles worth recommending (and reading).
Three years later we suddenly find Realbuzz Studios in the process of being dissolved, and the fate of titles such as Serenity are now left in limbo until further notice while the court wrangling is resolved and a future course for the publication (perhaps under a different name) is set.
Thusly "The Ultimate (Unauthorized) Realbuzz Studios (2008 Edition)" has been changed to "R.I.P. Realbuzz Studios 2008" with a tenative 2008/2009 print release somewhere down the line. Stay tuned.
