[Comic Book News] Dark Horse to Release 3-Volume Spinoff Sci-Fi/Horror Manga Series GANTZ G

DARK HORSE REVEALS NEW “GANTZ” SPINOFF SERIES

First Volume of “Gantz G” Available June 2018

The adult science-fiction/horror manga Gantz concluded its epic run in 2015, and now Dark Horse Manga is excited to reveal Gantz G, a three-volume spinoff series set in the Gantz universe. Written by series creator Hiroya Oku (HenZero One) and illustrated by Keita Iizuka (Blue Gralia), Gantz G is all-out action and fierce imagination, not for the kids and definitely not for those of tender sensibilities!

Gantz G follows a group of teenagers involved in a lethal bus plunge as they wake in an abandoned schoolroom where an ominous black sphere announces YOUR LIVES HAVE ENDED. HOW YOU USE YOUR NEW LIVES IS ENTIRELY UP TO ME. Given weapons, uniforms, a mission, and a deadly ultimatum, the new Gantz team is sent to battle a menacing array of bizarre alien invaders who, if not defeated, will ably demonstrate how the dead can still die!

Praise for Gantz:

“Drawn with eye-popping realism . . . raising standard geek fare to a new level of sophistication.”
