Mega Man manga preview

December 1st, 2009

Of all the characters in CAPCOM’s vast video game library, arguably none is more recognizable worldwide than Mega Man. With more than 100 games to his name, Mega Man is among  the most iconic figures of gaming, but despite this, the original blue bomber’s Japanese manga adventures have never been available to English readers. UDON has decided to rectify that, with the release of Mega Man Megamix Vol. 1 in January 2010.

Written and drawn by mangaka Hitoshi Ariga, the Megamix manga is a 3-volume series beloved for its stupendous artwork and exciting stories. Outside of Japan, Mega Man fans have dreamed of one day being able to enjoy these adventures… and now they finally can!

The series features appearances by all the franchise regulars like Proto Man, Dr. Wily, Dr. Light, Bass & Treble, Rush, Roll, and tons of villainous Robot Masters! UDON has gone directly to Megamix creator Hitoshi Ariga to obtain the original artwork files for the series, and ensure the best localization possible. Each volume of Megamix is also packed with character profiles, sketches, gag strips, and creator interviews. This is a series no Mega Man fan would dare miss out on!

Mega Man Megamix Vol.1 arrives January 27, 2010 everywhere manga is sold, while volumes 2 & 3 arrive in April and July, respectively. Look below for your first preview pages:

Silent Möbius: Complete Edition

SILENT MÖBIUS – THE ULTIMATE SCI-FI MANGA RETURNS
UDON announces Silent Möbius: Complete Edition

Having spawned a 26-episode anime, and 2 feature films, the Silent Möbius series is considered by many as the pinnacle of sci-fi manga. UDON Entertainment is proud to announce the English release of the Silent Möbius: Complete Edition series, a new remastered edition of the manga packed with tons of bonus material. If you have never before read Silent Möbius, you can’t call yourself a true manga reader.

Created by famed manga artist Kia Asamiya (Nadesico, Uncanny X-men, Batman: Child of Dreams, Star Wars Episode 1 Manga), Silent Möbius follows the AMP (Attacked Mystification Police). This all-female police force protects a futuristic Tokyo from invasion by the Lucifer Hawks – an extra-dimensional race of demons who come in a variety of terrifying forms.

Silent Möbius: Complete Edition features a new UDON translation, the restoration of the traditional right-to-left reading format, as well as new scans of every page taken directly from the original artwork. Each volume also includes a full color illustration gallery, extras like characters designs, data files, and interviews, and many color story pages from the series original serialization in Comic Dragon Magazine. UDON will also be releasing 3 full volumes of never before collected stories – the two-volume Silent Möbius Tales, and a special prequel Volume 0 that reveals much of the series’ backstory.

“I feel very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to publish this Complete Edition”, says Asamiya, “and it certainly gave me a chance to look back on everything. Whether you’ve read the series before, or are picking it up for the first time ever, I hope you will enjoy Silent Möbius.”

The first volume of Silent Möbius: Complete Edition arrives August 2009, with new volumes to follow every few months.
