Dark Horse is proud to present World Embryo, the latest creation by Daisuke Moriyama (Chrono Crusade). Featured in the same monthly magazine as Hellsing and Trigun, World Embryo delivers an action packed thriller that is like nothing else. This majorly dark seinen series puts a whole new spin on the apocalyptic sci-fi genre.

Riku Amami was the kind of boy who always cried wolf…until the day he learned that demons are real. In a time where heroes are unrecognized and forgotten, viruses can be transmitted by a cell phone call, and unseen monsters hunt the innocent, the fate of the world rests in the hands of a secret organization called F.L.A.G. and on the shoulders of Riku. If that isn’t enough of a burden, Riku has a baby girl calling him "papa" ever since she emerged…from an egg inside his living room! Is she the embryo of a new world or the child of the apocalypse?

"We've had our eye on this series for a long time," explains Dark Horse Director of Asian Licensing Michael Gombos. "Moriyama is a personal favorite and his style fits in perfectly with the Dark Horse Manga repertoire."

World Embryo is slated to release in the summer of 2009.
