Dark Horse Announces New Acquisitions

Dark Horse has announced its acquisition of translation rights to Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor and Rei Mikamoto’s Reiko the Zombie Shop manga series.

At the San Diego Comic-Con Dark Horse also officially confirmed the acquisition of translation rights to Hiroki Endo’s Eden manga series, first announced last May.

Ghost in the Shell 1.5 is a collection of 4 chapters that were left out of the final version of the Ghost in the Shell 2 manga. It’s not clear if the American version of Ghost in the Shell 1.5 will include the CD-ROM that came with the Japanese version. The book will be released in English next spring.

The lighthearted horror drama Reiko the Zombie Shop will debut in English this December.

Dark Horse has also announced plans to release Gungrave film comics beginning this January.
