I hadn't seen any topics about this subject, but i thought it was relevant so here we go.
Yesterday, me and a friend, who are both Astro fans, where in the graphic novel section of our local bookshop. We found a graphic novel version of the Astro Boy movie... Thats pretty ordinary, and the art didn't seem too bad either, although we did just quickly flick though.
But what we saw next to it completely blew our minds. Astro Boy: The Movie: The PREQUEL: The Graphic Novel.
Now, at first i was like "wait, how'd they make a prequel?" so we had a quick flick though, and low and behold our minds where even more blown than before.
Toby was nowhere to be seen, Astro was a robot... Infact, it was more like a sequel, rather than a PREQUEL, so we thought we read it wrong, but no, the title definately said prequel.
So we literally both sat looking at it going "O_________________O"
Has anyone else seen these graphic novels? Has anyone GOT them? Can anyone explain how the Prequel is a prequel?
I'll try to get some pics maybe, just hope i don't get kicked out the shop lol.

So -- Astro isn't in the prequel, right?
Just wondering -- are these all events "around" Astro's story, or are some of the key characters seriously involved. I'm wondering if it's worth a read.
Wish they had a preview online (maybe someone knows of one?). One reason I'm investing in the Pluto manga series is because I was able to read it online and felt I wanted to own it. Samples are a GOOD THING (as Martha Stewart would say).

I'm tempted to buy them, =D was it really cool?
I do agree. Its no prequel. Actually it involves events afterwards and yes it involves key characters from the movie except for Cora and the kids.
