MASAMUNE SHIROW FOR MATURE READERS On sale December 24, FC, 32pg (no ads), Roaring down the final stretch, Man-Machine Interface reaches its explosive climax as master storytelling visionary Masamune Shirow continues to tear down the walls between actual and virtual, flesh and circuit, soul and science. Taking the dizzying concepts began in the manga-anime classic Ghost in the Shell and accelerating them to critical mass, Shirow has crafted a true 21st Century epic of monumental visual complexity and staggering conceptual depth, almost as though Shirow were writing for an audience already living in the future he envisions. Breathtaking, challenging, and a little dangerous, Man-Machine Interface is a graphic-fiction masterpiece that will be read, re-read, and argued about for years to come! Translation by Frederik L. Schodt (Ghost in the Shell, Astro Boy). Special deluxe format with no interior advertising! Cover price $3.50.

Includes Limited Edition Trading Card - Volume 9 - 1st printing. Story and art by Shuichi Shigeno. Like many before him, Seiji of Team Emperor just can't hang against Tak and the 86. Seems like everyone on the mountain is talking about the enigmatic 86 and its unknown driver, but Tak, modest as ever, keeps it all to himself. However, when some chick goes off on Natalie for no good reason, Tak's more than willing to give the girl and her boyfriend a lesson in humility with an impromptu race. Off the road, Bunta's still waiting for parts to the new engine for the 86. But the biggest news of all, is that Natalie's so-called 'father' is actually an older man she sleeps with for money. The thing is, she's fallen in love with Tak, and when she tells the old guy that it's over, he insists on one last 'date.' None of this may matter a bit, though, since Tak's just received an anonymous phone call dishing all the dirt about Natalie's dark secret. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 240 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.99.
