Date: 5/16/2006
New Appleseed Hypernotes, entire Shirow catalogue unflipped with new material


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning in October, Dark Horse will issue new and newly unflipped editions of several Masamune Shirow series. Japanese Licensing Manager Michael Gombos outlined the company's plans in a note last Friday.

Appleseed Hypernotes, a collection of short strips related to the Appleseed story, will be out in October, followed by Appleseed ID (Illustrations/Data) in December.

Unflipped re-releases:

January 2007 - Dominion
February - Dominion Conflict
March - Orion
April - Black Magic
May - Appleseed

Gombos also noted illegal scalations of new Hellsing stories were available online and suggested they were taken from Young King Ours, a monthly magazine in Japan that serializes the series. Dark Horse is waiting for the material to be available in trade paperbacks before they can release it here.
