awa08: Dark Horse
Oooookay! We’re starting with the Dark Horse panel, and they’ve announced that they will announce stuff at NYAF– whee! But I guess nothing new here probably. Nonetheless, I blog on!
We’re looking at samples of various upcoming relelases, including Hellsing 9 (!), the new Ah My Goddess, Berserk, Gantz, etc.
The usual release dates here…Hellsing 9 (!) on October 22nd still(!). Noooooovember 5 will see v4 of Blood+ manga and v3 of the novel. The 12th will see the Domo-kun 10 inch as well as the mini Domo-kuns (a couple of colors will be Hot Topic exclusives).
Dark Horse editors have control over their works, including manga editors, so rather than having a single policy for honorifics and the like, it varies by title. Little tangent!
Kurosagi 8 and AMG 23 (I think) on 12/24…1/07 is Ghost Talkers Daydream 3, 1/29 is the D bust (and its monochrome variant, huh). 1/28 is Eden 11, and once again, a plea for people to buy it.
2/04 Blood+ 5 manga, 2/18 Gantz 4 and AMG 11. Feb will also see another MPD Psycho. March will have Ah My Goddess Colors, and Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo has written its afterword. March will also see the Blood+ novel Russian Rose and VHD 12 and….too many! can’t type fast enough! Sorry. XS Hybrid’s next volume was in there somewhere.
You can get all the dates on the official Dark Horse site. -_-;;
Lengthy discussion of the Shinji Ikari Raising Project, which will have a fanart and letter column in the back, which is cute. We’re also talking about a fourth Eva manga in Japan, sort of Evangelion-meets-X apparently, in Asuka if you’re interested.
Some CLAMP mangettes talk, let’s see if there’s anything new…Bill Flanagan from VIZ (of Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC) will translate. Still not announcing the title or plot. The news will be out soonish thanks to book magazines and stuff…argh! That’s it. Carl, a genre would make me SO happy.
More Dirty Pair novels? Planned, yes. Didn’t catch that second question…Man, I got this plush Mario coin box and its voice box is VERY sensitive. So, sorry anyone else!
Homunculus manga? No plans, but Horn used to edit another manga by the same guy (missed the name). Someone’s asking if they’re going to go back and fix typos in the first volumes of AMG…if you guys see errors, email them to editors and stuff. Sometimes they can fix stuff that will be reprinted. Ditto for anime, guys– asking people about specific mistakes at a con won’t help much ’cause it’s hard for them to remember everything!
Someone wants them to license Moyashimon and I agree. I think that’s a Kodansha title right? Maybe their new US pub will do it. Hey, haven’t heard much about that in a while…
That’s the end!

Eden is really good, though sometimes a bit hard to follow. I did a massbuy of vols 1-7 at San Diego last year and haven’t regretted it.

Eden is awesome. Definitely one of the better mangas that are out there. So for people that haven’t started it yet definitely give it a shot. Dark Horse is the best.

About homunculous,Fanfare/ Ponet Mon already has that license for Spanish, so I would assume they would also have the option for English. Check their site to see samples of the Spain version.

More Hellsing always makes me happy. I’m sad I missed the panel though.
