[Domestic News] Dark Horse's GATE 7

Dark Horse will be releasing the English version of CLAMP's GATE 7 Volume 1 on October 25th. Read DH editor, Michael Gombos', comments about simultaneous and/or digital releases at ANN.

There's also an image of the cover, so it's possible CLAMP will not be drawing new illustrations for the tankoubans (like they did not do for Kobato).

ETA: A full interview with Michael Gombos at MTV.

[Domestic release] Angelic Layer and Tokyo Babylon omnibuses from DH

Sorry, I wasn't aware MTV had manga news, so this is a little late...

"...Later this year, we'll be releasing omnibus editions of "Tokyo Babylon" and "Angelic Layer.." --Dark Horse's Michael Gombos [credits: MTV Geek]

Again, hopefully later this year means this year..:)

[Interview] Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson

Just a short CLAMP mention in today's ICv2 interview with Dark Horse CEO, Mike Richardson. (Click for full article).

A.
......We were attempting to work with the creators, which is the same way we’ve attempted to work in the past in the United States. That’s what I mean when I say we were trying to be creator-specific as opposed to genre-specific with regard to the shojo.

As far as the coming year we’ll probably be more in that area then we’ve ever been because we’ve made a deal with Clamp, probably the premier manga and anime group in Japan, the group of women who create these books that are the basis for so much animation and so much printed content.

Q:
You’re doing some omnibuses, right? And you have an art book coming out?
A.
Yeah, we’re doing omnibuses, we have a variety of projects coming from them and we have some surprises coming in.
