Manga and Comic Reviews
There’s a new volume of “Berserk” slated to come out in Japan this summer. If we’re lucky, Dark Horse might be able to put it out in English by the end of the year. Even if they do manage to pull that off, three years will have passed between the release of new volumes of […]
This is another first volume from Yen Press that only costs $3 digitally on Amazon. Unlike “Handa-kun,” I was left ready for more after reading it and was disappointed to find that the company is letting the release of the digital editions lag behind print. That’s because “Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun” is a charming and funny […]
At this point, Dark Horse has published more “Halo” comics for a longer time than when Marvel had the license to do so. The one thing they haven’t done, however, is publish a hardcover anthology of short stories based in this videogame universe. Well, that’s going to change this October when Dark Horse puts out […]
This is a prequel of sorts to “Barakamon” in the sense that it shows what Sei Handa, the straightlaced calligrapher protagonist of that series, was like back in highschool. As it turns out, he was even more uptight and neurotic when he was younger. This is because Handa is convinced that everyone in school hates […]
Up until this point Saitama has faced off against some pretty bad villains. But how will he survive the threat of a meteor which threatens all life on the planet? Or what about the Deep Sea King who has invaded the surface along with the rest of his fishy clan? Is this a threat that […]
Fran Madaraki just wants people to be happy. As the greatest creation of the legendary mad scientist Dr. Madaraki, she has the surgical skills to bend science and medicine to her will in order to accomplish just that. Whether it’s the head of a zaibatsu who wants his son brought back to life, a high […]
Given what I said about the first volume, the cover to this one had a genuine, “All my worst fears CONFIRMED!” vibe to it. It was to my surprise that vol. 2 is actually something of a step in the right direction for this series. Things kick off with a no-holds-barred lesson in swordplay from […]
Coming out of the ComicsPro retailer event this week was news that June 4th is going to be “Dark Horse Day” in celebration of the company’s 30th anniversary. Retailers are being offered discounts on key titles in the company’s backlist as well as a sampler to be handed out to their customers for free. This […]
The reason I’m combining these two volumes into one review is that there’s not much more to say about them beyond the fact that they continue the title’s great mix of action, comedy, and strangeness. Yet they still have some memorable parts to them as well. Vol. 7’s involves Class E’s most elaborate plan yet […]
First off, let me extend my gratitude to Vertical for supplying me with another fix of Inio Asano. It’s been almost two years since “Nijigahara Holograph” came out and I was starting to get antsy. Kudos to Viz as well, with their forthcoming two-in-one releases of “Goodnight, Punpun” starting next month. But what about this […]
