Sharknife is an action/comedy/henshin (transforming) comics series by Corey Lewis (sometimes credited as "Rey" or "The Rey"). The first volume was released in 2005, and a revised second edition, titled Sharknife Stage First, was released in 2006. The first printing advertised that a second volume would be released in Fall 2005, but was pushed back due to Lewis's involvement with the Rival Schools comics series from UDON. The second volume, titled Sharknife Double Z, was released on March 28, 2012. A third volume, Sharknife Fight Machine, is currently under development. Overview
The first novel focuses on Caesar Hallelujah, a busboy at Chinese restaurant the Guangdong Factory. The restaurant's walls are infested with monsters; when they periodically attack, Caesar eats a magical fortune cookie and transforms into the bio mechanical ninja warrior Sharknife. Sharknife's task is to defend the Guangdong Factory and its customers, staff and food. Rather than scaring customers away, this has made the Guangdong Factory extremely popular, and Sharknife's battles with the monsters act almost as a floor show while the guests eat. Characters

Introduces Caesar, Chieko, The Guangdong Factory, Ombra Ravenga, and the basic setup for the series: a restaurant under siege by monsters.

Sharknife is an action/comedy/henshin (transforming) comics series by Corey Lewis (sometimes credited as "Rey" or "The Rey"). The first volume was released in 2005, and a revised second edition, titled Sharknife Stage First, was released in 2006. The first printing advertised that a second volume would be released in Fall 2005, but was pushed back due to Lewis's involvement with the Rival Schools comics series from UDON. The second volume, titled Sharknife Double Z, was released on March 28, 2012. A third volume, Sharknife Fight Machine, is currently under development. Overview
The first novel focuses on Caesar Hallelujah, a busboy at Chinese restaurant the Guangdong Factory. The restaurant's walls are infested with monsters; when they periodically attack, Caesar eats a magical fortune cookie and transforms into the bio mechanical ninja warrior Sharknife. Sharknife's task is to defend the Guangdong Factory and its customers, staff and food. Rather than scaring customers away, this has made the Guangdong Factory extremely popular, and Sharknife's battles with the monsters act almost as a floor show while the guests eat. Characters

Sharknife Volume 1: Stage First
Introduces Caesar, Chieko, The Guangdong Factory, Ombra Ravenga, and the basic setup for the series: a restaurant under siege by monsters. Caesar spends most of his time turning into Sharknife and destroying monsters, while we are given brief introductions to other characters and concepts, including Ombra Ravenga's gangster origins. For the second printing, Lewis adjusted the title to Sharknife Stage First, adding a 13 page story originally printed for Free Comic Book Day, as well as a new cover and chapter graphics. The new cover also specifies that this version is the "Champion Edition" (a Street Fighter reference) to emphasize these revisions. Vol. 1 Reviews

Sharknife Volume 1: Stage First
Introduces Caesar, Chieko, The Guangdong Factory, Ombra Ravenga, and the basic setup for the series: a restaurant under siege by monsters. Caesar spends most of his time turning into Sharknife and destroying monsters, while we are given brief introductions to other characters and concepts, including Ombra Ravenga's gangster origins. For the second printing, Lewis adjusted the title to Sharknife Stage First, adding a 13 page story originally printed for Free Comic Book Day, as well as a new cover and chapter graphics.

The first novel focuses on Caesar Hallelujah, a busboy at Chinese restaurant the Guangdong Factory. The restaurant's walls are infested with monsters; when they periodically attack, Caesar eats a magical fortune cookie and transforms into the bio mechanical ninja warrior Sharknife. Sharknife's task is to defend the Guangdong Factory and its customers, staff and food. Rather than scaring customers away, this has made the Guangdong Factory extremely popular, and Sharknife's battles with the monsters act almost as a floor show while the guests eat. Characters

Sharknife is an action/comedy/henshin (transforming) comics series by Corey Lewis (sometimes credited as "Rey" or "The Rey"). The first volume was released in 2005, and a revised second edition, titled Sharknife Stage First, was released in 2006. The first printing advertised that a second volume would be released in Fall 2005, but was pushed back due to Lewis's involvement with the Rival Schools comics series from UDON. The second volume, titled Sharknife Double Z, was released on March 28, 2012. A third volume, Sharknife Fight Machine, is currently under development. Overview
The first novel focuses on Caesar Hallelujah, a busboy at Chinese restaurant the Guangdong Factory. The restaurant's walls are infested with monsters; when they periodically attack, Caesar eats a magical fortune cookie and transforms into the bio mechanical ninja warrior Sharknife. Sharknife's task is to defend the Guangdong Factory and its customers, staff and food. Rather than scaring customers away, this has made the Guangdong Factory extremely popular, and Sharknife's battles with the monsters act almost as a floor show while the guests eat. Characters

Sharknife Volume 1: Stage First
Introduces Caesar, Chieko, The Guangdong Factory, Ombra Ravenga, and the basic setup for the series: a restaurant under siege by monsters. Caesar spends most of his time turning into Sharknife and destroying monsters, while we are given brief introductions to other characters and concepts, including Ombra Ravenga's gangster origins. For the second printing, Lewis adjusted the title to Sharknife Stage First, adding a 13 page story originally printed for Free Comic Book Day, as well as a new cover and chapter graphics. The new cover also specifies that this version is the "Champion Edition" (a Street Fighter reference) to emphasize these revisions. Vol. 1 Reviews

Sharknife Volume 1: Stage First
Introduces Caesar, Chieko, The Guangdong Factory, Ombra Ravenga, and the basic setup for the series: a restaurant under siege by monsters.

Sharknife is an action/comedy/henshin (transforming) comics series by Corey Lewis (sometimes credited as "Rey" or "The Rey"). The first volume was released in 2005, and a revised second edition, titled Sharknife Stage First, was released in 2006. The first printing advertised that a second volume would be released in Fall 2005, but was pushed back due to Lewis's involvement with the Rival Schools comics series from UDON. The second volume, titled Sharknife Double Z, was released on March 28, 2012. A third volume, Sharknife Fight Machine, is currently under development. Overview
The first novel focuses on Caesar Hallelujah, a busboy at Chinese restaurant the Guangdong Factory. The restaurant's walls are infested with monsters; when they periodically attack, Caesar eats a magical fortune cookie and transforms into the bio mechanical ninja warrior Sharknife. Sharknife's task is to defend the Guangdong Factory and its customers, staff and food. Rather than scaring customers away, this has made the Guangdong Factory extremely popular, and Sharknife's battles with the monsters act almost as a floor show while the guests eat. Characters
