I think volume 4 is supposed to come out at some point, but I'm not sure. However, I think Dark Horse originally required the license for only the first 3-4 volumes. Whether or not they release any more likely depends on whether they sold decently. To be honest, if that's the case, I doubt we'll see beyond volume 4, if that.

I think I saw a news story that DMP is not soliciting any further volumes. I don't remember where I saw that story though, but it wasn't solidly established at that time.

But it looks like probably not.

From what I've heard they won't even produce it anthology in Japanese anymore. Probobly not profitable enough to warrent bringing back all the high-profile illustrators.

Dark Horse got nothing to do with the Robot license.

I remember seeing volume 6 (japanese ship from Japan) on ebay a while back.

Edit: Yup vol. 6 was release last oct.

Huh, you're right. Since everything else I have with DMP involved is published by Dark Horse (like Berserk), I figured they were involved here. I've always seen them as a division of Dark Horse or somthing, but it seems that is incorrect.
