Dark Horse Manga Presents: Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami Vol. 6

The epic finale to the Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami saga. The manga is prequel to the popular anime series Psycho-Pass, starring a younger version of the protagonist. It features writing by Midori Gotou with art by Natsuo Sai and story by Gen Urobuchi.

The perfect society and its price…the manga prequel to the acclaimed anime series! In the 22nd century, the Psycho-Pass is a system that measures emotional health, making crime not only rare, but strange and dangerous—and the only “safe” job for a person on the borderline is as a cop…kept on a virtual leash as they hunt down the criminals they may soon become themselves! 

The explosive conclusion! As Division 3 races to try to save the life of Professor Toshi, they find that the trauma unit within the Special Sector has become a deadly trap. But in this high-tech underground complex, it’s a hidden cache of a very obsolete information storage format—handwritten letters—that may provide the last clue that must be understood by Inspector Kogami…before the elders behind this hidden kingdom of guilt decide to carry out their final act of atonement! 

Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami Volume 6 will be in comic shops February, 22nd, 2023 and bookstores March 7th, 2023. It is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and your local comic book shop and book store for $11.99.

San Diego Comic-Con

It’s a huge week for comics this week with the return of San Diego Comic-Con. We’ll have as much coverage as we can from a distance and to star the week we have some news from the weekend you might have missed.

Kotaku – Your Favorite Manga Isn’t More Important Than The Creator’s Health – Yes, much more important.

Comicbook – Manga Pirate Sentenced After Unusual Lawsuit Ruling – Interesting.

ICv2 – Eaglemoss Files for Administration – That’s a bummer.

ICv2 – People on the Move: Tara Lehmann to TKO – A lot of staffing changes in recent weeks.

The Mary Sue – Dear San Diego Comic-Con, Can We Still Have Virtual Panels? – Baffling why more conventions haven’t pivoted to this in addition to the in-person events. Charge some money to view and it’s added revenue!
