20th Century Boys has been licensed by Viz since they got Monster... Or were Viz just talking about the title as if they had it.

I can't wait for Pluto! The story it's based on is one of the best from Astro Boy, so it will be interesting to see a modern version of.
If I like Pluto, I may consider giving Monster a try. I've shyed away from it because I never really liked master Keaton, but if Pluto can change my mind... |

Huh, it wasn't licenced in the States ? I didn't know that, I was quite sure it was ;o
By the way, I'm still waiting for the world premiere of the movie in Paris this summer ! |

So 20th Century Boys will be released immediately after Monster ends like some of us thought/hoped it would. That's great to hear. While not entirely surprising, at least it is now official.
In short, huzzah, some more Signature titles!

Okay. But a character's conflict and your bizarre hang-ups have absolutely nothing to do with what I said. @Dargonxtc: Well, by the same token Death Note is ranked at eight. So those type of rankings aren't always reflective of quality. On the other hand, the first two-thirds of 20th Century Boys is probably deserving of a top ten ranking. That material is the best work that Urasawa has ever done. Don't skimp on Pluto, either! Certainly Urasawa's least flawed work (that I've read, anyway; haven't gotten around to Yawara). |

Very true! Funny you should say that, just last week I downgraded Death Note. 
At the same time though I doubt that any of the manga on that list are very bad either. So while not all-inclusive and comprehensive, it's still not a bad place to start either. |

This is great news. Viz Signature lines needs some new titles and these two will for sure work. I read the first volume of 20th Century Boys online and I can't wait until I can hold in my hands. Normally, I pick my manga because of reviews, good reception from fans, and if it sounds like something I would like to read. However, like Real and Cat Eyed Boy, I'll take a chance on Pluto just because I like the author's previous works.
