July 2008 Solicits-Dark Horse

I'm going to give you a look at things coming out that I might get based on recent solicitations. We'll start with Dark Horse.

ASTRO BOY 1 & 2
Osamu Tezuka (W/A)
On sale Sept. 10
b&w, 424 pages
$14.95
TPB, 4 1/2" x 6 3/4"

I don't have any Tezuka. So lets start with the first hit he had.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #16
Joss Whedon (W), Karl Moline (P), Andy Owens (I), Michelle Madsen (C), Jo Chen (Cover), and Georges Jeanty (Cover)
On sale July 2

I like it, but its not my favorite comic. Still-the characters make me come back.

GANTZ VOLUME 2
Oku Hiroya (W/A)
On sale Sept. 24
b&w, 224 pages

First volume pre-ordered of this hit manga. Of course with this, Astro Boy and the upcoming Black Lagoon I should stop looking for new manga to buy.
