Mm, decent picks up. The only one I'm most interested from that list is I Am a Hero though.
Really wish Giganto Maxia had more volumes.

Oh, I'm so happy to see that RG Veda got rescued! I've got about half of it, but the later Tokyopop volumes could get a little pricey. It pretty much is the last sizeable CLAMP series they hadn't touched, and Dark Horse's CLAMP omnibuses have been absolutely lovely.
I'm a little intrigued by I Am A Hero as well, although I admit more for the fact that they managed to talk Shogakukan into giving up anything to someone other than Viz than it is for the story itself. Kudos to Gambos for pulling it off.

So they licensed the Danganronpa manga based on the anime based on the video game. Okay.

RG Veda's one of the few CLAMP titles I like. So I might be motivated to double-dip on those books, if they have color pages. Not really interested in the art on that Miura manga, though. Doesn't look as cool as his usual stuff. As for I Am Hero, if they're gonna go to the trouble of landing any Shogakukan manga, why not Birdy the Mighty or Kenichi or something like that? AFAIC, that zombie shit is as played out as that vampire shit.

Glad I am A Hero got licensed when Viz was obviously uninterested in publishing it. Looking forward to its release!

I love I Am a Hero and will definitely be picking it up. Props to Gombos for being persistent, I had it filed under "to never be licensed".

If I Am a Hero can get licensed, maybe there's hope for Oyasumi Punpun.

Can't wait to see how they try to break their record for "number of untranslated Japanese words per page" from Trigun.

Didn't expect Danganronpa to get picked up! Hopefully they get Zero as well, as it's an essential piece to the story of the series.

Gigantomakhia and I Am a Hero (what a dumb summary) are quality picks and Miura´s quirky wrestling epic should have been animated by Celius 4 and not the main epos. Expect a sequel in 15+ years...

I was wondering when someone was gonna license I Am a Hero. It seems like it would do well here. Same goes for Giganto Maxia.

Those are interesting titles. I've read a bit about I Am a Hero, and it sounds cool.

RG Veda should look absolutely gorgeous as a three-volume omnibus. I'll definitely be pre-ordering that title.

Bodacious: If it's like their previous CLAMP omnibuses, don't expect it soon.
