The Fire Emblem fates info is wrong. Its conquest and birthright not conquest and fates.

Forgot Franken Fran comes out today it's been on my to buy list. Hope the releases don't take long breaks in between volumes.

You have the MSRPs for the Fate/stay night boxes reversed.

I'm honestly shocked it's taken Franken Fran this long to come out in the US. I remember reading it scans of it back in high school over six years ago, thinking this'd be a shoe-in for a US release.

We currently have the next two omnibus collections scheduled for May and September, respectively.

The glitch is still being fixed! Laughing

Capcom forgot to fix that ludicrous Chun-Li boob jiggle “glitch” in Street Fighter V

  • After inadvertently causing a stir at last year’s E3, Capcom assured players that Chun-Li’s freakishly bouncy breasts were merely the result of a bug that would be fixed for the game’s release…

    At time of writing, the much-anticipated fighting game Street Fighter V has only been available at retailers for a few hours, but players are already noticing something very peculiar about veteran series character Chun-Li. Namely, that under certain circumstances, the character’s ample bosoms can end up briefly flopping around all over the place as though they’ve been possessed.

    In fact, Chun-Li’s suddenly pendulous orbs made news about six months ago when players taking a beta version of the game for a spin at 2015’s E3 event noticed that, sometimes, on the character select screen, the poor Chinese martial artist’s own breasts appeared to be desperately trying to punch her in the face.

    At the time, a Capcom spokesman pulled some damage control, telling media and attendees that Chun-Li’s wonky low-gravity breast physics were actually the result of a glitch and that it would be fixed by release, but it would seem that said “glitch” remains firmly in place [no pun intended] upon release.

It's a manga that's more derivative of EC comics than any American comics are or, to be honest, other manga. It's not just horror, it's not just comedy, it's excess and beyond.

In, Japan, there's so much manga, everything can find a niche but in the NA market, manga that is manga is the stuff that's most likely to get licensed and the titles that are more "comic book" tend not to and one that's more "Comics from the 50s?" Niche of a niche of a niche....

I still haven't made up my mind about it; if it was an anime, I'd buy it no problem but bookspace is limited... well, I never bought a hardbound EC comics collection either and I always meant to get the Weird Fantasy/Weird Science collections if not the whole thing.

Franken Fran reminded me strongly of Reiko The Zombie Shop, which is a positive. It has the same weird humor and over the top graphics. It is almost a parody of horror stories.

I enjoyed it and intend to continue buying it. I got it from the comic shop last Wednesday.

Whoa, hold the phone, Franken Fran is getting a US release? I remember reading scanlations of it several years back, I'd love to re-read a physical copy.
