ABLAZE Lights Up November With New Manga And Graphic Novel Titles

Comics and graphic novel publisher ABLAZE previews a potent and extensive roster of new series launches set for November. Many of these new releases will appeal to teen and older teen readers.

First up comes SHAKESPEARE MANGA THEATRE from the legendary Osamu Tezuka. The first of 4 titles from the most famous manga pioneer to join the ABLAZE catalog. The manga collects Hamlet, Othello, The Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet (featuring Astro Boy!), and The Merchant of Venice into one volume and is sure to be popular not just with Tezuka fans, but also schools interested in presenting Shakespeare in a format that is easier for readers to engage with.

Another new series joins the ABLAZE Manga catalog with the English language debut of GANNIBAL, a terrifying manga horror series by Masaaki Ninomiya, on which the acclaimed Hulu TV show is based.

Also launching comes THE AGENT, a full-color supernatural crime thriller by writer/creator, Mathieu Gabella, and artist Fernando Dagnino.

A new release by the acclaimed Italian creator, Zerocalcare, also debuts in November with the release of THE ARMADILLO PROPHICY. The graphic novel was the creators first release and depicts a deeply personal story of how he coped with learning too late that a dear friend from his childhood had died, all while a giant armadillo represents his imaginary conscience. Dryly funny, witty, and inventive, this a classic that has sold over 140,000 copies in Italy alone.

Action fans will not want to miss Versus Fighting Story Vol. 1-2 Collected Set. Officially endorsed by Capcom and the fighting game community and featuring genuine Street Fighter characters and produced in the vein of the best sports shonen, readers are invited to discover the e-sports spirit as you have seen it before.

Another collected edition also highlights November’s new titles with the release of Mirka Andolfo’s Un/Sacred Vol. 1-2 Collected Set. The extraordinary talent of Mirka Andolfo (Unnatural, Mercy, DC Bombshells) brings to life a Heaven (and a Hell) filled with humor and lovable characters.

Finally, gamers will want to dive into Indie Games Vol. 1-2 Collected Set, a substantial 400+ page trove that pays homage to some of the greatest success stories in the world of indie games and takes the reader behind the scenes at some of the world’s best independent game development studios.

HIGHLIGHT:

After the mysterious disappearance of a countryside cop, the role is reassigned to Officer Daigo Agawa. He finds the remote village quaint, and he looks forward to an easygoing post among the warm and welcoming citizenry. Then… He gets a call. The body of a local grandmother has been found. The scene immediately sows doubt for the young policeman. A human bite mark has been left on the corpse, and any voiced suspicion of Agawa’s is met with a strange, sudden, and intense hostility.

Something dark is lurking under the idyllic façade of the charming mountain village. But can Officer Agawa spare himself and his family from it? The Gannibal TV adaptation, featuring a dream team of Japanese creatives and actors, is currently streaming exclusively on Hulu!
