First Gokin: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NT-03 Shredder

image

Shredder will come with a rack to hold his helmet and a set of stylized Turtle weapons. Does this mean that we may see Turtles from First Gokin in the future, or are these just for other figures we already have? It does say “current turtles.” And if that side by side shot with Krang is actual size then Shredder may be around 8.5 to 9 inches since Krang is 10.5 inches.

SHOGAKUKAN PARTNERS WITH DARK HORSE!

SHOGAKUKAN PARTNERS WITH DARK HORSE!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILWAUKIE, OR— Kengo Hanazawa’s award-winning zombie-survival manga I Am a Hero begins at Dark Horse in early 2016. This nail-biting page-turner is sure to leave readers on the edge of their seats!

This realistically drawn international bestseller takes us from initial small battles for survival to a huge body-horror epidemic that threatens all of humanity.  Each Dark Horse omnibus volume will collect two of the original Japanese books.

The zombie apocalypse has never been more surreal. A mentally unhinged manga artist witnesses the beginning of a zombie outbreak in Tokyo, and he’s certain of only two things: he’s destined to be the city’s hero, and he possesses something very rare in Japan—an actual firearm!

I am a Hero Omnibus Volume 1 is in stores April 6, 2016. Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop or through these fine retailers:

Amazon
Barnes and Noble
IndieBound

Praise for I Am a Hero:

“It has the slow buildup of a psychological horror manga, but when the zombies hit, they hit hard, and the manga accelerates into volumes-long fight-or-flight sequences that seem like they’ll never stop.”—Jason Thompson (Manga: The Complete Guide)

“The level of story telling put here is one of the best in the industry, well-done and just far ahead from the rest.”—Deremoe

Coming soon:

I am a Hero Omnibus Volume 1 TPB
