User blog:Manuel de la Fuente/And the biggest manga announcement ever is...

On September 25th, Kodansha Comics revealed that they would make the "biggest manga announcement ever" regarding Attack on Titan at the New York Comic Con on October 8th, and we all were theorizing what it could be. The day has come and the revelation is here.

During the fall of 2016, Kodansha will publish Attack on Titan Anthology, a full-color, 250-page anthology of Attack on Titan short stories from a slew of artists and writers, including Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, Michael Avon Oeming, Faith Erin Hicks, Kate Leth, Jeremy Lambert, and Rona.

The book will have the same trim size as an American comic -- larger than the traditional manga size. The stories will range from 5 to 25 pages, and the book will also include pin-up art. Take a look at Cameron Stewart's contribution (click to enlarge):



This might be a little dissapointing for all those who were expecting the revelation of the release date of the Season 2 of the anime; but on the other hand, this means that the success of Attack on Titan in the western is solid and its universe continues to become bigger and bigger with new additions.

You can read all the details of this announcement here (and we hope that the news about the anime don't take too long either).
