Madness, I tell you! MAAAAAAAAAADNESSSSSSSSSS!!!

It’s not an unpleasant surprise, but it’s still truly baffling nonetheless.  After none of the previous volumes even cracked it, vol. 10 of “Neon Genesis Evangelion:  The Shinji Ikari Raising Project” is now a #1 New York Times bestseller.  I believe it’s also the first Dark Horse title to have that distinction and one of the few — if only — titles to crack the list in the past year.  For something like this to come out of nowhere… well, now I REALLY hope that Carl Horn returns to Fanime this year because I’d love to both congratulate him and find out how it happened in the first place.
