ABOUT FIRST STORM MANGA
First Storm Manga was formed to help aspiring artists and writers create original manga and to meet others who have similar goals.
Our goals are as follows:
- Provide a venue for manga artists and writers to meet and collaborate.
- Provide aspiring manga artists and writers with help and guidance.
- Promote F.S.M. and its members by printing and distributing member-created manga.
- Create a U.S. doujin culture and host an annual convention dedicated to manga.
Meetings are held in San Antonio and Houston. F.S.M. membership is open to individuals of all skill levels, however, it is preferred that members be at least 17 years of age.
If you are a writer, artist, or brainstormer interested in joining First Storm Manga, please sign up at the First Storm Manga Meetup.com page.

"My desire to start up F.S.M. stemmed from establishing a means for those interested in manga creation to meet with others who share the similar interests with hopes that someday they may create new and original mangas which will be showcased to the world.
I am working on the Crux Project, which encompasses multiple stories which come together to tell one greater story. Currently, I am working with a couple artists on this endeavor."
Chris Holm - Founding Member / Assistant Organizer

"I'm just a simple aspiring artist who is just looking to make something of myself. I don't have an ego or anything like most artists, I don't claim to be the best, but I am still growing in skill and talent. I'm just out to make people happy by drawing bad ass stuff!"

"In the beginning, Austin was merely an intangible mass of cosmic gases, until the day all was in grave danger. That is when the gods saw fit to have him forged with Thor's mighty hammer into a man that could fight giant Martian Crocodiles with one arm, break bricks with a glare and stop a supernova with his beard. For eons he has fought the evils of the universe atop his trusty space mastodon. Now he is retired, writing stories and art and other stuff."

"By day, Eduardo "Randomizer9" Soliz is a right-brained code monkey banging away at his computer for a living. Once night falls, however, the left side of his brain wakes up and wants to have some fun, so he writes and performs editorial duties for First Storm Manga. The right side of his brain doesn't miss out, though; he also maintains the F.S.M. website."
