You'll have to forgive me if my excitement and knowledge on this particular topic is wanting, as I was always more of a Micronauts guy myself ... but at the bottom of a very long post on Ain't It Cool News about a possible Shogun Warriors film is a small tidbit about a new Shogun Warriors comic book.

In regards to the work being done on the film, Harry Knowles says, "Alex Ross has been mentoring on the project and will be doing covers for a new SHOGUN WARRIORS series that Dynamite is involved in."

Back in the late 1970s, Mattel licensed several giant robots from various Japanese anime shows to create the Shogun Warriors line of toys. From what I remember, they were two-foot-tall plastic robots that threw axes and launched other sorts of projectiles, no doubt an eye hazard for kids everywhere, as well as some smaller versions that were probably choking hazards (how any kid survived the 1970s and early 1980s is beyond me).

Marvel published a Shogun Warriors comic by writer Doug Moench and artist Herb Trimpe, which featured three of the robots. The book was set in the Marvel Universe, as the Fantastic Four and Doctor Demonicus appeared in issues.
