Of course, this being DC, they'd probably want to see how well their S-hero comics sell before wanting to commit to a 200 page Manga that they seem eager to remove from their collective memory. Just look at how fast they got rid of their CMX page upon announcement of their dissolution of the Manga line.<br /><br />If we're going to expect anything from them, it'd probably be 10 years after other Manga companies (more?) successfully use this model, and DC decides to play catch-up.<br /><br />Why, yes, I AM an incredibly cynical pessimistic man. Why'd you ask? Just because I have a bleak outlook for the future doesn't mean I can't indulge in a little creative plausible fantasy outlook. It only took 12 years for the Moto Hagio collection to come out. Surely the rest of Swan will be released in that time.DanielBThttp://sundaycomicsdebt.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-45936806133225226112010-06-25T05:54:54.484-04:002010-06-25T05:54:54.484-04:00CMX was working with the 10 volume shinzouban vers...CMX was working with the 10 volume shinzouban version, so actually only 2 volumes shy of completion (which kinda makes it hurt just a tad more, I guess).<br /><br />Which... to continue the sentiment, would be sweet as a digital CMX release (along with the last 4 volumes of I Hate You More Than Anyone... With Tears of a Lamb finished in the nick of time, and V.B.Rose seeming to be doing alright for TP, it would be sad to cut short the sweet triplet of Banri Hidaka titles)<br />...<br />though like others, not holding my breath for too long and likely going to end placing the relevant jp tanks into my Amazon basket sooner or later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-92043064750158145172010-06-24T20:31:43.690-04:002010-06-24T20:31:43.690-04:00Oh, digital CMX releases—I was just thinking about...Oh, digital CMX releases—I was just thinking about that too. Surely they have a few more books lettered and edited that didn't quite reach the printer's before DC shut them down? Surely they couldn't lose anything if the work's already been paid for, but could gain some extra revenue, by releasing them digitally?? Pleasepleaseplease? (I'm not too hopeful, considering how they've dealt with CMX since that original announcement, but...)lyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967996249662123234noreply@blogger.com
