This Wednesday in comic book shops in the US the Devil May Cry 3 Manga GN is coming out.
Also, the Kingdom Hearts Manga GN is coming out too on the same day.
The Metal Gear Solid Sons of Liberty Issue Zero Comic book will also be in stores this week.
Just to give yall a heads up, and maybe we can talk about these books on this thread while we wait for Street Fighter II Issue Zero to come out next month.
Havenāt read most of the books yet, (if you know me you know Iām playing a lot of Capcom Classics Collection lol) just a little bit of Devil May Cry 3. Iām really liking it. Itās a prequel that takes place just before DMC3. Virgil is kicking all kinds of Ass! And Dante has some real kick ass one liners like -
āAnd if you drink up all the beer before I get back, Iāll shoot you in the gut, cram a spigot in the hole and drink it right out of your belly!ā
āYour the Mad Hatter right? Well, I bet my left nut you canāt āout crazyā a bullet.ā
And a bunch of other lines like that! This is the Dante that should of been in the Dreamwave comics!
Granted, I prefer the pencils in the Dreamwave comic, but the Manga has a nice visual style too.
Now for Kingdom Hearts, I just glanced at it but hereās the thing -
Both the Devil May Cry 3 Manga and Kingdom Hearts Manga are from Tokyo Pop. DMC3 is presented from right to left in typical Manga fashion. Kingdom Hearts is presented from left to right, American style. Now I was thinking to myself that Tokyo Pop figured that little kids wouldnāt get the reverse style, but as I looked through the Kingdom Hearts Manga I noticed that people did not become left handed like what happens when Manga is reversed. Iām suspecting that they actually flipped the panels individually! Of course Iāll have to take a closer look but thatās what it looks like now. The artwork is really good, Shiro Amano really nailed the Disney characters.
THE FUCK!!! I couldnāt find KH in the ToykoPop previews thingy at the comic shop, ahhh! Shitā¦thanks for the update, Iāll have to check back next Wednesday and see if he ordered it!
Finished reading both books and I gotta agree that I enjoyed both. DMC was mostly gunplay but from the looks of things the sword play is about to pick up bigtime. Iām digging the KH Manga too, itās based on the game and the art syle and lines are very clean. Heh, I bet Disney comic book fans were freaking out when Sora was approached by a prostitute in Traverse Town lol!
MGS 0 mostly describes the characters in MGS, kind of like a mini Marvel Encyclopedia book.
Anyway, just read DMC3 Code 1 today and it was pretty good. Iām not too comfortable with this strange attitude to Dante who uses lots of sexual lines. Doesnāt seem Dante like to be honest. Although I admit, it was funny when he said āWell I want a smaller dick, I guess weāre both assedā was funny. And also when he said to Alice something like how sheāll chew him from the ācockā. It was funny, but not Dante like.
Vergil was just too good. Evil, but too good. I actually think, if they animated that, itād be very, very neat!
I still havenāt got KH yet. No one had it. Hopefully some places gets in this week.
