DARK HORSE COMICS

GANTZ G TP #1

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Keita Iizuka (CA) Keita Iizuka

Victims of a lethal bus plunge wake in a schoolroom where an ominous black sphere announces YOUR LIVES HAVE ENDED. HOW YOU USE YOUR NEW LIVES IS ENTIRELY UP TO ME. Thus, a new Gantz team is sent to fight bizarre aliens that will show how the dead can die!

GANTZ OMNIBUS TP #2

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Ordinary Tokyo citizens resurrected from death by a mysterious black orb, the Gantz team is conscripted to fight bizarre, deadly aliens in a game that promises release from the game . . . or oblivion. But the game's purpose is unclear, and the stakes are far greater than survival! o Gantz has sold over fifteen million copies in Japan! o Popular anime series, live-action feature.

GANTZ TP #6

(CURR PTG)

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Life is complicated for Kei Kurono, possibly the horniest teen in Tokyo. So far he's had to deal with sleeping next to a sad but excessively cute and endowed girl who asked to be his "pet"; the fact that he's apparently really a fax copy of himself -- the real version having died in the first volume; and falling out of the sky after being dropped by some sort of alien eagle.

GANTZ TP #8

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that this might be the watershed volume of Gantz. It's the end of the great Buddha battle, and it doesn't seem to be going well. In fact, it would be amazing if anyone returned to the locked apartment overlooking Tokyo tower. It's really been the worst fight yet. But there's got to be a gleam of hope somewhere. Also in this story, we meet a few more interesting characters outside of Gantz's hunting party, and it only adds more mystery to the mix. o Gantz has proven to be one of the most popular adult anime in recent years, with over 175,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone! o Each volume of Gantz comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.

GANTZ TP #11

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

The blue phase is here! Gantz creator Oku Hiroya seems to have based his popular Gantz series on a season-based cycle, and now that we're entering the second set of ten books, we're all blue here at Dark Horse as Hiroya boldly takes us into the increasingly scary world of Gantz. Kei's been dealing with a handsome schoolmate who seems obsessed with all things Gantz, and in volume 11, we'll find out how frightfully obsessed this guy is. It's a whole new world of Gantz's alien urban warfare, and things are certainly not settling into any kind of comfort. Be ready for a dizzying new volume of Gantz! o Gantz has proven to be one of the most popular adult anime in recent years, with over 190,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone! o Each volume of Gantz comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.

GANTZ TP #12

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Dinosaurs, terrorism, and blood-Gantz doesn't let up one bit as it climbs into its second "season" of cryptic, frenetic, sexy, and violent storytelling. This time, there's a guy who's a fanatic about the Gantz phenomenon, to the point where he tries to get himself inserted into the alien-hunting game. The question is: will he succeed? The only way to be part of the Gantz universe is to die first. How far is one man willing to go in order to join Kei in pursuit of this temporary role as a universal god-cop? And once you're there, how do you kill all those dinosaurs? Confusing? The answers are in Gantz Volume 12. o Each volume of Gantz comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.

GANTZ TP #15

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Gantz is getting absolutely intense! Our protagonist, the eternally awkward otaku boy named Kei, has hunted a bevy of odd and dangerous aliens living in Japan. The Onion Alien was strange enough, but then there were the dinosaur aliens and eventually some vampires who might not be aliens at all. Gantz moves along at a furious pace, drowning readers in blood and violence, but then holds back for a few tender (and sometimes excessively sexy) moments here and there. It's a crazy ride so far, a guilty pleasure for many readers. See whom Kei is told to hunt next! It will certainly be a surprise.

GANTZ TP #29

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

As the alien war machine continues its systematic slaughter of humanity, Gantz teams are assembled for a desperate assault. But will a fight within the heart of the immense alien mothership be the moment that turns the tide of war or a final, futile gesture before mankind's extinction?

GANTZ TP #32

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

The devastating war against the alien invaders is over! A new day of peaceful coexistence is dawning! Olive branches for everyone! Of course, before tranquility can be attained, something must be done about the nasty Gantz "terrorists" monkey wrenching the works. Fighting monstrous extraterrestrials is tough enough, but how about taking on the entire human race?

GANTZ TP #33

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

While the war with the aliens is apparently over, aboard the invaders' mother ship, human prisoners face a parade of horrors for the televised amusement of the offworlders. And as Kei desperately tries to find his beloved Tae, help comes from an unexpected source-one of the aliens! "Drawn with eye-popping realism, Oku's scenes range from infanticide to bestiality to painful adolescent awkwardness, raising standard geek fare to a new level of sophistication."-Entertainment Weekly  

GANTZ TP #34

(W) Hiroya Oku (A) Hiroya Oku (CA) Hiroya Oku

Kei is reunited with his beloved Tae only to be torn from her and returned to the streets, where the Gantz warriors are hunted "terrorists," accused of sabotaging the truce with the alien invaders. Thinking Tae is lost forever, Kei makes a one-man suicide assault against the monstrous ETs! •  Gantz has sold over fifteen million copies in Japan! •   Popular anime series and live-action feature. "Gantz is unrelenting." -Manga Helpers
