Manga Monday: Come See Us At Rose City Comic-Con!
Sept. 15, 2014
Rose City Comic-Con, like Neo-Tokyo, has E-X-P-L-O-D-E-D in attendance since 2012; that year, the first show had 4100 people attending. Last year, it was 18,000! Naturally, this being our town, we’re going to be in the exhibitor’s hall (Booth 701). But we’re also going to be present at several panels over the weekend, including of course, a panel about our manga! Read More...

Sept. 8, 2014
Dark Horse has released omnibus editions of classic CLAMP manga before, as well as new, contemporary manga by CLAMP, but Legal Drug is the first time we’ll get to combine the two formats, as Legal Drug is the prequel to Drug & Drop. Read More...

Manga Monday: Anime Expo 2014 Report Part 3!
Aug. 18, 2014
So much happened at Anime Expo, we haven’t even talked about all the cosplay yet. Every Japanese fan convention in North America has people dressing as characters in books published by Dark Horse. Read More...
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...

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...
