Super Manga Blast! is Dark Horse's new, monthly anthology title, featuring 128 black-and-white pages of amazing manga storytelling from some of Japan's most celebrated comics series, including Oh My Goddess!, What's Michael, 3x3 Eyes, Seraphic Feather, and Shadow Star!
Super Manga Blast! is a tribute to Dark Horse's loyal base of manga fans, whose appreciation for rare, world-class manga such as Blade of the Immortal and Appleseed keeps them on the lookout for great stories and good values in America's relatively limited manga market.
"And building on that foundation, Super Manga Blast! is also a missing link in the current manga craze," said Dark Horse Vice President of Marketing, Michael Martens. "Long time manga fans know that one of Japan's most preferred and sensible formats for comic storytelling is the anthology, and these publications are rare in our market, compared to the growing number of manga fans we're encountering.
"Fans love the access to well-translated, highly-entertaining manga presented in an attractive and affordable package. And we're happy to share this opportunity with Studio Proteus to fill a plum spot in the market with a great publication."
