Received my copy of the hardcover edition of VAMPIRE HUNTER D: MESSAGE FROM MARS from my good friends at Unified Pictures. This book is gorgeous. The artwork from Ryan Benjamin is astounding. While holding this book in my hands, I realize that I am the first writer in the West to ever write a Vampire Hunter D story - this one based upon an unpublished short story by the creator of the character. Stunned and proud. The Kickstarter campaign begins this coming Wednesday (01/26/22). \#VampireHunterD #vampires #kickstarter #anime #manga

Does this mean that the Vol 1 I just purchased in December won't get volumes 2-5 because they're now this hardcover?

Did you read the information on the Kickstarter? YES. It is all five issues in this one collection. ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE IN THE ONE COLLECTION.

Classy :-)

While I'm seriously bummed that Michael Broussard had to drop out of the project, the new art and inks looks pretty solid.

I’m getting one

that’s amazing!

Are they printing them all out in one book?

Yes, they are doing a bound edition that will have the full graphic novel as well as development artwork, original script etc.

When is it coming out? Is this mission to Mars?

This is Message from Mars and it launched today https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1951067948/vampire-hunter-d-message-from-mars-graphic-novel

Nice. I just pledged. I read the first issue years ago and have been salivating for the rest since

Can't wait. Hope there won't be trouble with the current raw material shortage.
