Dark Horse Manga explores the late 21st Century in a Deluxe Edition of Makoto Yukimura’s Planetes

Posted on by

Dark Horse Manga presents Makoto Yukimura‘s expansive and immersive space exploration manga, Planetes, soon to be collected in a beautifully designed Deluxe Edition. Planetes Deluxe Edition Book One packages the first half of Yukimura’s hyper-realistic look at the near-future exploration of our neighboring planets in a 7″ x 10″ hardcover on high-quality paper and includes 44 full-color art pages on special gloss stock. This edition takes inspiration from the International Space Station to pay tribute to the real astronauts that inspire the hard science-fiction genre, with the front and back covers also featuring debossed patterns that provide a tactile effect. The Planetes Deluxe Edition Book One features metallic gilding on the page edges, making this a genuinely out-of-this-world edition!

In 2075, working-class astronauts live an unglamorous and dangerous life. The Moon and Mars are both populated, with people living in challenging conditions. But for some, space is still an epic adventure, as plans take shape for the first-ever crewed voyage to Jupiter. The goal of navigating to the gas giant is harvesting much-needed helium-3 from its atmosphere, opening up the entire solar system to humanity.

Astronaut Hachimaki “Hachi” Hoshino dreams of breaking out from his famous father’s shadow and joining the Jupiter mission. For him, being an astronaut is about cleaning up space, not exploring its vastness. Aboard the DS-12 Toy Box, Hoshino is joined by pilot Fee and fellow crewmate Yuri. Their task is clearing a hundred years of debris circling the world at eight kilometers per second. Amidst a dangerous and unappreciated job, Planetes reveals that the lives of those who fly amongst the stars are filled with the drama of family, romance, and ambition.

Take to the stars and see the life to be lived amongst them when Planetes Deluxe Edition Book One arrives in hardcover for $49.99. The 528-page (7″ x 10″) Deluxe Edition will be available in bookstores on July 29, 2025, and comic shops on July 30, 2025.

Miura’s legacy lives on in Berserk Volume 42

Posted on by

The powerful loss of Kentaro Miura, the legendary mangaka and creator of Berserk, has been felt across the world. Miura-sensei’s lifelong friend and fellow manga creator, Kouji Mori, has taken on the immense task of leading Miura’s team at Studio Gaga in the quest to carry on the story and art of the Berserk saga. Dark Horse Manga will continue the English publication of this iconic series with Berserk Volume 42. This volume will contain 192 pages and measure 5.125” x 7.25” to match the standard paperback size of this series, and feature the series’ traditional double-sided bound-in color poster. It will fit right in with fans’ collections when it arrives in March 2025.

Previously in Berserk Volumes 40 and 41, Schierke and Farnese battled endless horrors to reach the dark secret that has imprisoned Casca’s mind since the shattering events of the Invocation of Doom. Though Casca reclaimed her sanity, she and Guts the Black Swordsman then faced the personal challenge of their reunion… and the harrowing memories of her gruesome ordeal.

The shocking appearance of Griffith on Elf Island has provoked rage and terror in Guts and Casca…and carved a rift into the enchanted isle itself, setting loose a corrosive horde of devourers from beneath the earth! If the Black Swordsman cannot rely upon even his legendary blade, then escape by ship seems the only hope for survival…but not everyone is leaving Elf Island together!

Continue the legacy when Berserk Volume 42 arrives in bookstores on March 18, 2025 and in comic shops on March 19, 2025. It is now available to pre-order for $14.99 from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore, or visit PRH Comics or Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.

Every trigger-happy psycho in creation is aiming to claim Vash, dead or alive—preferably dead! Although Vash believes in nonviolence, he won’t go down without a fight. And when Vash fights, destruction is sure to follow!

In Trigun Maximum: Vash the Stampede, the galaxy’s deadliest gunslinger, emerges from two years in hiding to help his beleaguered desert homeworld, Gunsmoke.

Cthulhu Cat

Dark Horse invites cat lovers across the cosmos to experience a new take on the eldritch horrors of Lovecraftian lore with Cthulhu Cat, a one-shot, full-color gag manga from Pandania. This volume is a charming tribute both to Lovecraft’s stories and Lovecraft the cat lover, translated by Zack Davisson, with lettering by Steve Dutro.

An ordinary Japanese high school student takes home an abandoned supernatural cat left in a cardboard box. Maybe he shouldn’t have meddled with kitties beyond human comprehension—after all, it had tentacles where its whiskers should have been! But it’s too late now. With no Elder Sign on the cat door, soon the pick of the Mythos litter starts to invade his house, as furry and feline versions of Hastur, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, and other adorable Lovecraftian horrors blast his mind, whisper impossible secrets, and generally get underfoot!

Nanami witnesses the unexpected power of Monomi against a fearsome guardian Monobeast, allowing students to access a new island at the tropical Jabberwock resort/prison! The island has a library, a diner, but strangest of all, it has Hope’s Peak Academy itself, mysteriously covered by a growth of trees and vines. Some believe video games cause violence, and Monokuma is out to prove it, as he challenges the class to play a game within their game—Twilight Syndrome, which he claims will reveal their next motive to commit murder. This is just the kind of dare that Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer, can’t resist, but she vows that whatever the playthrough, she won’t allow another class killing to take place!
