Kanoko Sakurakoji (w/a) Kyo, the head of the Tengu demon clan, is Misao's only chance for survival. But even though she has sweet memories of him as a childhood friend, she has trouble reconciling them with the man he has become. Despite the strange attraction she feels for Kyo, can she trust her life, let alone her heart, to a man who only cares about the promise of her blood?
By Kanoko Sakurakoji Synopsis: Misao is starting to trust her heart where Kyo is involved, especially after he gives her one of his primary feathers.
Kyo won't allow a threat to Misao to go unchecked and plans to take care of the problem in his own special way. Misao, however, hopes that she can broker a peace between Raiko and Kyo before things get out of hand.
By Kanoko Sakurakoji Misao and Kyo finally go all the way, and Misao can't regret the new levels of intimacy, even though all the other demons seem to be able to tell that they are now lovers. But does Kyo feel the same way? Instead of bringing them closer, their new status seems to make him turn away from Misao. Is that just the nature of guys, be they human or demon? Or is there something darker behind Kyo's sudden lack of warmth?
BLACK BIRD VOL. 10 GN - Description: By Kanoko Sakurakoji The past returns to haunt Kyo and Misao when Kyo's long-lost father suddenly reappears. But the reunion is less than happy, for Lord Yo is suspected of murdering his wife! Misao learns the real story of the deadly incident, but it is hardly comforting. Should she tell Kyo about his mother's fate, or should she protect him from a truth he might not want to know?
By Kanoko Sakurakoji Sho has miraculously returned to the tengu village, and while he seems content to live quietly on the outskirts, Kyo has learned the hard way not to trust his brother. To make matters worse, the villagers are resentful that Kyo won't share the restorative power of the Senka Maiden with them. But most demons don't possess Kyo's willpower, and one taste of Misao's blood would send them into a frenzy. Is it possible for Kyo be a good leader and a good husband?

Turns out inhabiting a carbon copy of his body after the original was splattered all over a subway only increases the adolescent problems of identity, insecurity, and horniness. Add in the constant danger of facing pissed-off aliens; the awkwardness of being reunited with a childhood friend who cries a lot; and the involuntarily chaste relationship he shares with the prettiest and best-endowed woman he""s ever known; and Kei""s stress level isn""t dropping any time soon.

Hiroya Oku (W/A) b&w, 224 pages TPB, 5 1/8"" x 7 1/16"" Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that this might be the watershed volume of Gantz. It's the end of the great Buddha battle, and it doesn't seem to be going well. In fact, it would be amazing if anyone returned to the locked apartment overlooking Tokyo tower. It's really been the worst fight yet. But there's got to be a gleam of hope somewhere. Also in this story, we meet a few more interesting characters outside of Gantz's hunting party, and it only adds more mystery to the mix.

So far, the story of Gantz knows few bounds when it comes to plot twists and a constantly changing cast.

Hiroya Oku (W/A) Gantz is getting absolutely intense! Our protagonist, the eternally awkward otaku boy named Kei, has hunted a bevy of odd and dangerous aliens living in Japan. The Onion Alien was strange enough, but then there were the dinosaur aliens and eventually some vampires who might not be aliens at all. Gantz moves along at a furious pace, drowning readers in blood and violence, but then holds back for a few tender (and sometimes excessively sexy) moments here and there. It's a crazy ride so far, a guilty pleasure for many readers. See whom Kei is told to hunt next! It will certainly be a surprise.
Hiroya Oku (W/A) It's hard to tell who the heroes and villains are in Gantz these days. Some members of the alien-hunting team are trying to kill protagonist Kei's girlfriend, and it's possible he might not be able to stop them! Plus, Kei finds out about a very powerful secret related to his achieving the one-hundred-point goal. A popular series across many mediums in Japan, Gantz began and continues as a best-selling manga, and it's just getting hotter overseas. A live-action film is due out in 2011, and we here at Dark Horse expect the Gantz craze to continue its rise in popularity. A successful and wildly popular anime by Gonzo studio. New live-action film slated to debut in Japan in 2011.
Hiroya Oku (W/A) It seems like every new alien creature the Gantz gang fights is just practice for another, tougher, more demented future alien battle. Every new alien means another crew of newly dead citizens, reborn as alien hunters. Except for those who survive for the next battle. And Kei is the only one who's survived since volume 1. Our immature antihero keeps adding new dimensions to his character, and this volume doesn't spare him a learning experience. Imagine aliens who can transform into anything, including giant flies, elephants, or spitting images of your compatriots. Suffice it to say, this volume begins a scary new chapter in the Gantz story line.
The crazy world of Gantz just got a heck of a lot crazier. First, there were people being recruited at the moment of death to fight aliens living on earth, but unseen by humanity. The battles have seemed to take place outside of human sight. Our reluctant hero, Kei, has lived through many of these battles, but now something strange is happening. People can see the Gantz warriors. This ragtag collection of street punks, fighters, and schoolkids are suddenly exposed to the world, along with the freakish aliens they fight. Will the civilians believe what they see, or are their lives so full of media that they think it's just fantastic 3-D entertainment? With a recently released live-action film in Japan, Gantz is a series on a serious upswing, with a whole lot of story ahead of it!
GANTZ VOL. 19 SC - B&W. Description: Hiroya Oku (W/A) Gantz's reluctant alien-hunting hero, Kei, has had to deal with all sorts of selfish and seedy teammates, but somehow he's recently fought alongside his best partners yet. Unfortunately, this might be his last fight with them. Not that his story is over, however. (NOTE: This title is advance solicited for October shipping.) 232 pages. (5" x 7")
Hiroya Oku (W/A) Life is confusing for Kei. Once an unexpected alien-hunting hero, a strange turn of events finds him back in his old life, having no memories of his warrior days. Hunted by a band of vampires, Kei survives by his wits alone, trying to stave off his third death. Will his long-lost brother come to his aid, or the warrior friends he can no longer remember?
A new chapter in the Gantz saga brings with it a new level of action and mayhem! The alien-hunting Gantz warriors are transported to their new mission, leaving behind their fallen comrades, Kurono and Izumi. Given no time to mourn, they find themselves in a completely unfamiliar location, well beyond the confines of Tokyo in the Dotombori district of Osaka. Even more surprising is an encounter with another group in Gantz suits. Are the members of this unknown team allies . . . or deadly new foes?
A spectacle without precedent unfolds in the streets of Osaka, leaving a path of complete and utter destruction as the Osaka Gantz team’s battle with the aliens in Dotombori continues to escalate. Beset by a growing number of ghouls, each more deadly than the last, even the battle-hardened Gantz warriors find their numbers dwindling. In the midst of the mayhem, Kato must choose between saving innocent bystanders or himself. Can Kato’s sense of justice melt the frozen hearts of the Osaka team? Gantz has sold over fifteen million copies in Japan!
The battle-hardened Osaka Gantz team has fought with courage and fury to wipe out most of the lower-level (but highly lethal) alien invaders. Now firing on all cylinders, the OGs set out to go toe-to-toe with the insanely powerful boss-class offworlders, including the elusive, shape-shifting 100 Point boss, a creature that can appear as beautiful as it is deadly. The Tokyo Gantz squad can do little more than watch as the Osaka fighters soon realize that the constantly changing forms of the boss monster may be more than even they can handle!
As the mind-boggling 100-point alien boss unleashes its horrors upon the overmatched Osaka Gantz team, the Tokyo team is forced by the Gantz orb to join the battle, but even their numbers fail to turn the tide. When all hope seems lost, the legendary alien fighter Hachira Oka returns from exile and enters the battlefield with his fearsome arsenal of weapons. But if the mighty Oka falls to the shape-shifting monstrosity, could this be humanity's last stand as well? [(W/A/CA) Hiroya Oku]

Harvey Kurtzman changed the face of American humor when he created the legendary MAD comic. As editor and chief writer from its inception in 1952, through its transformation into a slick magazine, and until he left MAD in 1956, he influenced an entire generation of cartoonists, comedians, and filmmakers. In 1962, he co-created the long-running Little Annie Fanny with his long-time artistic partner Will Elder for Playboy, which he continued to produce until his virtual retirement in 1988.Between MAD and Annie Fanny, Kurtzman's biographical summaries will note that he created and edited three other magazines, Trump, Humbug, and Help!, but, whereas his MAD and Annie Fanny are readily available in reprint form, his major satirical work in the interim period is virtually unknown. Humbug, which had poor distribution, may be the least known, but to those who treasure the rare original copies, it equals or even exceeds MAD in displaying Kurtzman's creative genius. Humbug was unique in that it was actually published by the artists who created it: Kurtzman and his cohorts from MAD Will Elder, Jack Davis, and Al Jaffee, were joined by universally acclaimed cartoonist Arnold Roth. With no publisher above them to rein them in, this little band of creators produced some of the most trenchant and engaging satire of American culture ever to appear on American newsstands. At last, the entire run of 11 issues of Humbug is being reprinted in a deluxe format, much of it reproduced from the original art, allowing even owners of the original cheaply-printed issues to see the full impact of these creators' artistry for the first time.

Kendall has selected from classic mags like the bi-monthly Blazing Combat (1970s) and the ongoing Commando, plus individual collections like Sam Glanzman's Marvel and many smaller, top-quality publications. And the wartime settings range all the way from both world wars through Korea and the Vietnam War, to today's Middle East. [by Kendall, Toth, Glanzman, & Kubert]
