DARK HORSE COMICS

COLOR OF RAGE TP #1

(W) Koike Kazuo (A) Seisaku KANO (CA) Seisaku KANO

Two slaves free themselves from a slave ship, one a Japanese man, the other an African American. After escaping they find themselves on the shore of Edo-era Japan, a society with a strong chaste system, isolated from the world. How will the Japanese people perceive this giant black man, how will they survive? But first things first, how will they get these shackles off their feet? Fans of Kazuo Koike know how he loves to turn out a sensational samurai-era yarn with a certain sense of chauvinist violence and pulpy sexiness, and Color of Rage is by no means a slacker in these categories. Drafted by pinup artist and mangaka Seisaku KANO, Color of Rage features plenty of action, fighting, blood, sexiness, and more fighting. •  Each issue comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory. From Lone Wolf and Cub creator Kazuo Koike!

DREAMIN SUN GN #7

(W) Ichigo Ta KANO (A) Ichigo Ta KANO (CA) Ichigo Ta KANO

Shimana Kameko lives in a home where she feels she doesn't belong. Her mother is dead, her father has remarried, and her six-month-old baby brother takes up everyone's attention. Kameko skips school and runs away to a nearby park where she literally stumbles over a mysterious man in a kimono. The stranger, Fujiwara Taiga, offers Kameko a place to stay - on three conditions. The first condition is that Kameko tell him why she ran away from home. The second is that she fetch the stranger's lost apartment key (he is locked out!). The third condition is to have a dream. Kameko meets the conditions, moves in, and begins a journey of romance and self-discovery.

KAGEROU DAZE GN #9

(W) Jin (A) Mahiro Satou (CA) Mahiro Satou

The manga adaptation of the massively popular light novel series about a group of teenagers with mysterious eye powers! Faced with the mysterious girl who appeared before Hibiya, KANO flashes a cold smile. Behind the grin lies the story of a broken family--one that drives the story of this alternate Kagerou Daze, written by Jin exclusively for the manga version.

QUANTUM & WOODY (2017) TP #1

KISS KISS KLANG KLANG

(W) Daniel Kibblesmith (A) KANO (CA) Julian Totino Tedesco

THE WORLD'S WORST SUPERHERO TEAM RETURNS IN AN EXPLOSIVE NEW ONGOING SERIES! Sometimes...you embrace your destiny. And sometimes...you and your troublemaking adopted brother find yourselves trapped in a scientific lab explosion that grants you $@&%-ing awesome superpowers. As a result of their accident, Eric and Woody Henderson - aka Quantum and Woody - must "klang" their wristbands together every 24 hours or both dissipate into nothingness. Which makes superhero-ing pretty awkward when you're not on speaking terms at the moment. See, Eric has been keeping a pretty big secret: He knows who Woody's birth father really is...and where he's been hiding all these years. With great power comes great sibling rivalry! This summer, you'll believe two men and one goat can split a one bedroom apartment and still be a credible threat to evil and injustice everywhere when QUANTUM AND WOODY make headlines and take names! Starting right here, deeply alarming and untrustworthy writer Daniel Kibblesmith (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and eye-popping artist KANO (Daredevil) give the Valiant Universe the adjective-worthy superheroes it deserves: QUANTUM AND WOODY!

QUANTUM & WOODY DLX HC #2

(W) James Asmus (A) Steve Lieber (CA) Paolo Rivera

Join Multiple Harvey Award nominee James Asmus (Thief of Thieves), New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (IVAR, TIMEWALKER), Eisner Award-winning artist Steve Lieber (Superior Foes of Spider-Man), and explosive artist KANO (Daredevil) for the next deluxe hardcover of the superhero joyride Salon calls "one of the year's funniest comics"! Quantum and Woody are the world's worst superhero team. Archer & Armstrong are a mismatched pair of conspiracy-busting adventurers. When a mysterious force collides with these ill-suited and irresponsible "heroes," they're in for a cross-country race through the darkest corners of American mythology... and all hell is bound to break loose. Can two busted pairs become four of a kind in time to defeat the Hobo King, save the day, and make it back home for happy hour? Let's hope so...'cause these guys make a really, really bad team. (And you don't even want to know about the goat.) Collecting THE DELINQUENTS #1-4, QUANTUM AND WOODY MUST DIE! #1-4, VALIANT-SIZED QUANTUM AND WOODY #1, and UNITY #25, along with 20+ pages of rarely seen art and extras!
