Dark Horse Director of Asian Licensing Michael Gombos revealed the company’s acquisition of three new Japanese titles at New York Comic Con, all by creators that have accounted for significant sales for Dark Horse in the past. 

 

Drifters is a new manga by Kohta Hirano, the creator of Dark Horse’s hit series Hellsing.  One volume has been published in Japan to date. 

 

Bloodline Battlefront is by Yasuhiro Night, the creator of Trigun and Gungrave.  One volume has been published in Japan to date.

 

Shinjuki Book II: Azul, like the first book in the series (see “New Amano from Dark Horse”), is an illustrated novel by Amano Yoshitaka (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D) and Christopher “mink” Morrison.
