I've not heard a word about volumes four and on -- and given the lead time between localization and printing of these volumes, that means that even should Dark Horse decide tomorrow to continue the line, they probably won't get around to publishing the rest until next fall.<BR/><BR/>Weird thing is, the first volume at least was the best-selling manga for several weeks in various third world countries that carry Englis manga translations; it's just over here that it's been having difficulty.<BR/><BR/>A reason for that might be that nobody carries the darned thing! Seriously, I went to every book store and comic shop in San Francisco looking for the first volume, for weeks after its release -- and nobody had even heard of it. Not Borders; not the small indie shops. The only place I was able to find a copy was in Japantown -- which on a level almost feels like it defeats the purpose of the localization.<BR/><BR/>Hum. <BR/><BR/>Anyway. I really like volume three. Look forward to it; it's got some of my favorite moments in any of the first three volumes.<BR/><BR/>- Eric-Jon Rössel WaughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1162103982361912752006-10-28T23:39:00.000-07:002006-10-28T23:39:00.000-07:00Well, I can honestly say I've been doing my part t...Well, I can honestly say I've been doing my part to promote Museum of Terror at work. We always order in one for me, one for one of my co-workers, and a handful for the shelves. We've been getting all sorts of awesome horror manga for Halloween, so now it's just a matter of spreading the word. I'm definitely feeling the Dark Horse love.<BR/><BR/>It's been tough establishing a readership for Scary Book, Museum of Terror, Dragon Head, etc etc, which is kind of upsetting when I see boring shonen adventure titles flying off the shelf... but we're kind of a small town shop, so I guess it's understandable.<BR/><BR/>ps - since I'm a big language nerd I get a kick out of comparing the ComicsOne and Dark Horse translations of Tomie. I hope I'm not the only one who does this. :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1162078421823834262006-10-28T16:33:00.000-07:002006-10-28T16:33:00.000-07:00Octopus Girl is probably my FAVORITE comic that's ...<I>Octopus Girl is probably my FAVORITE comic that's come out in 2006.</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, Ryan, have you forgotten <A HREF="http://www.newsarama.com/ImageComics/BombQueen/BombQueenRobinson.htm" REL="nofollow">Bomb Queen</A> so soon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1161989716867427002006-10-27T15:55:00.000-07:002006-10-27T15:55:00.000-07:00Hello, Same Hat!I cannot say enough about the Muse...Hello, Same Hat!<BR/><BR/>I cannot say enough about the Museum of Horror series.

I like The Long Dream (though I only saw the comic). Gyo wasn't bad and I loved the Amigara Fault line, though I felt that one should've stopped a page earlier. I liked the idea of not really being sure what happened.<BR/><BR/>I like the ones that are more unique.

How am I ever gonna decide which ones to go for. -__________-<BR/><BR/>Not that I'm complaining, of course. ^^<BR/><BR/>I will have to order Museum of Horror asap. The Hino collection and School zone as well. Corpse delivery sounds interesting. Mail is up to Vol. 4 or so in Germany, maybe I'll check it out, although it seems a bit more conventional, if you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>I read Ohikkoshi a while back. It's basically stuff Samura did just for fun in his free time. The whacky story about the manga artist turned Mahjong shark is best, imo.<BR/><BR/>BTW, have you read Satoshi Fukushima's "Shonen Shojo"? For me it's the best manga I've read this year. Not horror though.

And from Volume 3 on, it's going to be entirely 'NEW' stuff for english readers. I've seen the japanese editions of Museum of Terror at Kinokuniya in SF (i have volume 5 untranslated) and it looks like Dark Horse is following them very closely. <BR/><BR/>So, if you have the old ComicsOne editions then you probably could skip Volume 1, but volume 2, 3 (and hopefully the future volumes, if they get published) should interest you.<BR/><BR/>What's your favorite Ito story? Just curious to hear what is the stuff that got people into his comics :)<BR/>Mine is either 'Dying Young' from Flesh-Colored Horror, or the THE ENIGMA OF THE AMIGARA FAULT at the end of Gyo 2 !<BR/>-ryanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175574490647908108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1161878502965121802006-10-26T09:01:00.000-07:002006-10-26T09:01:00.000-07:00Dang, just looking at it though, the first 3 books...Dang, just looking at it though, the first 3 books I've read already. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1161878448729744962006-10-26T09:00:00.000-07:002006-10-26T09:00:00.000-07:00WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THE MUSEUM OF HOR...WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THE MUSEUM OF HORROR?!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads up.
