RWBY Manga Anthology Vol.1 To Release May 15th

, , 0

Rooster Teeth has made many hit series over the years, but arguably their greatest is the one and only RWBY. An anime created by the late Monty Oum, the show focuses on four ladies in the realm of Remnant, and their journey to become Huntresses and to save their world from an ancient threat. The anime has gone on for five seasons, but because of the layout of the show, there’s a lot of stories still to be told. Well, Viz Media is going to help with that, as they’re working to bring the RWBY universe alive in new ways via a manga, the first volume of which is set to release in just two weeks: “Based on the hit Rooster Teeth series, an art and short story collection diving into the backstories of Team RWBY will debut later this month! RWBY OFFICIAL MANGA ANTHOLOGY: RED LIKE ROSES will be available at retailers everywhere on May 15th, and the volume will also be available the same day in a digital edition

Viz To Reprint Link To The Past Comic

Viz To Reprint Link To The Past Comic

, , , , 1

Yes, that Link to the Past comic. For those who aren’t automatically aware which one “that” is, here’s a primer….. Nintendo Power printed comic adaptions of its games for much of its run. There were cartoons based on StarFox, Super Metroid, an original Mario adventure and more. Link’s go-round was serialized throughout 1993 and based on his most recent game at the time. The comic more or less followed the narrative path of the game, except Link faced off several times against a rival named Relm and a lot of people called him “Whelp.” Viz has printed Zelda material before, namely translations of manga based on games in the series. They currently sell a box set that includes stories from Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Seasons, and Four Swords Adventures. Nintendo Power’s Zelda comic technically qualifies as manga because it was written and drawn by the legendary Shotaro Ishinomori, creator of Kamen Rider, Cyborg 009 and Goranger. Ishinomori wrote and drew over 700 books and is listed in the Guinness
