Manga Monday: Koike And Kojima’s World
Aug. 11, 2014
Samurai Executioner is currently being published by Dark Horse in omnibus format, just as Lone Wolf and Cub is. That means not only more story for less money, but also larger pages. With Kojima’s artwork at a bigger size, I feel I’m seeing these stories in a new way, and one thing I particularly notice is his command of portraiture. Read More...
Manga Monday: Oh My Goddess! Vol. 46
Aug. 4, 2014
Even though the cover to Oh My Goddess! vol. 46, out this week from Dark Horse, isn’t a variant (it’s the same cover art as the Japanese vol. 46) I almost feel we should have promoted it that way. Think about it—how often do you see the main character of Oh My Goddess! on the cover? Read More...

July 14, 2014
There are a lot of people to thank for the good experience we had at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this 4th of July weekend, but I think we should begin with Eiji Otsuka, writer of MPD Psycho and The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service... Read More...

Manga Monday: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project Volume 14 TPB
June 16, 2014
It seemed natural that a yankii would be into Asuka. I don’t mean a yanqui or a yankee—a fan from the U.S. of A. This fan was a yankii from Japan, a biker like Ichigo in Kamikaze Girls. Shock of bleached-blond hair, red satin jacket with a Rising Sun patch, black lipstick, stiletto boots, the whole nine. Read More...
Manga Monday: Sakura-Con Report—Part 2!
May 19, 2014
Last month, we shared some pics from Sakura-Con 2014 of those dressed as characters from books published by Dark Horse—thanks once again to all the cosplayers! But maybe at a future con we'll be asking even more people to pose, because another thing we did at Sakura-Con was announce some of the new manga titles we'll be publishing over the next year! Let's recap our announcements... Read More...
Manga Monday: Samurai Double Feature!
May 12, 2014
It's safe to say that Dark Horse knows the way of the samurai. You might have heard that Mike Richardson and Stan Sakai's graphic novel depicting the true story (as opposed to the Hollywood film) of the 47 Ronin is one of the titles nominated this year for Best Limited Series at the Eisner Awards (actually, it was one of the three Dark Horse titles nominated in that category, together with The Black Beetle: No Way Out and Colder!).
