The insanity of Makoto Kobayashi's first extended What's Michael? story arc continues, as stranded astronauts face spitting, scratching horrors on the "Planet of the Cats!" Whether you're performing as a circus freak or imprisoned in a gross "breeding cell," life's surely not easy for a human surrounded by thousands of angry, bipedal felines. The Cannon God Exaxxion team finally sits down for dinner! (Then something really disturbing happens.) Shadow Star and Seraphic Feather, now featured in the original right-to-left, Japanese format, both enter new eras. The Seraphic Feather crew is almost ready to return to Earth, and Shiina's father becomes a Shadow Star detective, edging closer to the secrets of the mysterious Shadow Dragons! Also, SMB!'s entertaining and educational columns, "Sugoi Japan!" and "A Fan's View," continue to inspire fans of Japanese culture!
