Ok. Here is the new cover of the new issue of OTAKU USA magazine (Sept-Oct 09). Should be on sale in a week or two, with subscribers getting them in their mitts around then as well.
The fruits of a vast and shadowy conspiracy have paid off with a cover story on Evangelion 1.0, timed for the R1 release courtesy of FUNimation. New contributor Sean McCoy (he, of several Eva DVD audio commentaries) pens the main feature while Erin Finnegan, Matt Alt, and Gilles Poitras don plug suits for sidebar duty.Other crazy stuff in this issue: Daryl Surat pens the ultimate review of M.D. Geist, Joseph Luster contemplates which Dragon Ball Z movie truly is “the greatest of them all”, Jason Thompson drops his usual massive manga review bomb, Clarissa Graffeo and the ransom note font make way for NANA, Mike Toole unravels the Full Metal Panic and Slayers sagas, Mike Dent uses the word “jive” in his Samurai Champloo piece, Zac Bentz grills Kanon Wakeshima over the Q&A coals, and Patrick W. Galbraith gives you the first-ever English interview with cosplaying K-1 kickboxer Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima!
In the meantime, those waiting for the hot new issue to appear can always pass the time over at the Otaku USA website where fresh content is currently poppin’.
I now have an image of Matt Alt in a plug suit. And it scares me.

Dear Lord Almighty, that's one JAIL-BAITALICIOUS picture of Rei!
I love how REBUILD adds the subtle detail of her nipples to the mix!
