Fantagraphics plans to print both the individual trades as well as their Special Edition trades.

Dark Horse will discontinue reprinting the individual trades, at least for a while, in favor of the omnibus editions. They may bring them back if the marketplace warrants it.
Thanks Stan! Rosie here... It was so great to see you again at WonderCon after all these years, thanks again for signing and sketching my nephew's "Art of UY", he's going to love it!

We have not discussed this. I want to do one more Space Usagi miniseries, but it will take awhile. It took about 10 years or so for me to get to Senso.

Does anyone store their Saga hardcovers/trades in bags? Do you think they would fit nicely in an Ultra Pro "Life" magazine bag?

Rather than call up my local comic book shop and ask, I'll ask here instead....


Did Saga Book 3 come out today? :roll: :?:

Hmmm... as far as Previews World (and at the DH website) is concerned... not yet (at least until next week). I've also asked the bookstore where I've bought Senso, and they said they'll get UY Saga 3 by start of June as well.

Domo arrigatou gozaimasu. Steve had it listed as May 27, but it wasn't on my local shop's list of releases for today.

Hm, Amazon has June 9th listed for the release of Saga 3. So have to wait and see but that would be a great way to start off the month. :wink:

Dark Horse had it listed initially for today but Previews World has it listed for next week. Apparently Dark Horse moved their release date back to match sometime since May 17 when I posted their schedule here.

That would explain it then! :D

Steve-san is too good at his job to have posted an incorrect date! :wink:

Speaking of Saga and dates..... do we have any clues if books 5 & 6 are scheduled (and if so, when)?

Firstly, a book by Stan... https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/16-340/ ... imbo-Yokai

But to know Yokai, they are many things..... Yōkai = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai

These may also be of interest - http://hyakumonogatari.com/ and http://yokai.com/
