The Viz Signature Line Now and the Future

Hi guys ;3
I recently joined here, and was reading all of your comments...
And have 2 questions regarding titles from Signature Line.

1.- In Vagabond´s VIZBIG edition, do all the color pages are printed in color? (Or at least the color pages that were in color in the Vagabond volumes)
2.- Does MONSTER has color pages?

Thanks, that would be it :3

BTW, I propose a topic, what manga do you want to join the Viz Signature Line?

Golden Boy, Liar Game, My wife is a student, Say Hello To Black Jack (Its weird, I dunno who has the license Shogakukan or Kodansha, since the first series was published by Kodansha, but now the author publishes for Shogakukan)
Though the only one with a theme apt for the "Signature line" would be Say Hello To Black Jack.

I'll answer your two questions. I believe that VizBig Edition of Vagabond has all the color pages in color. Secondly, no, Monster has no color pages in them.

Also, about your proposal, I suppose you could start a topic. However, this entire topic is dedicated to Viz Signature line's titles, ones soon to come, and proposals for titles that Viz should get for the Signature line. So, there really isn't a need to start a new topic, but you can. Lastly, to adress all those titles you brought up, I never heard of any of them, are they good?

Is anyone else upset that Pluto, which has 200 pages, is $13 when they were commonly $10 for the same amount of pages? I'm actually going to have wait on buying Pluto as a result, stupid economy...

I'm still glad they picked up Pluto, don't get me wrong, and if it had more than 200 pages, I'd be ok with paying more money for it (like Parasyte cost $13, but has 280 pages in it), but apparntly, the economy is beginning to take its toll on Viz.

Its pretty expensive, the only "Signature Line" titles I am buying right now are REAL, Vagabond and Tekkon Kinkret, and thats because they aren`t that expensive (Thanks to the Viz Big editions) except for REAL, but I really like it, and its not too long.

I recently picked up Hotel Harbour View and it says it's published under a line called Viz Spectrum Editions. Anyone aware of anything else that may have been published under this line or why HHV is special and has it's own line? Or what ever happened to the line?

There were, as far as I know, 3 Viz Spectrum titles...one of the others was Shion: Blade of the Minstrel, and I'll be damned if I can remember the other one. Viz Spectrum was a *VERY* short-lived line for one-shot, prestige format releases for mature readers in the very early 90s. These books were still in Viz Shop-By-Mail catalogs as late as 1998 or so, but I think Hotel Harbour View is the only one that's easily findable these days.

Just got both Pluto and 20th CB in the mail! They're both the same size as Solanin (except thinner, obviously), and have the same cover flaps that it had. Also just flipping through to the back, Pluto has an article about Astro Boy with Naoki Urasawa and Macoto Tezka, while 20th Century boys has some translation notes. Pluto has the first few pages in color, but 20th does not. Overall, it's the same level of quality that Solanin received. Now I'm gonna go read. Byeee

What begins with a college dropout bored of her mediocre routine soon becomes a fantastic series of vignettes about the unexpected ways that lives intersect. Filled with magical realism in the face of the cold reality of modern life, at their core these stories are about discovering something precious in the chaos of existence. A dream recaptured. A life on a new track. The absurdity of death. Laughter in the face of reality. With this series of intersecting vignettes, Inio Asano explores the ways in which modern life can be ridiculous and sublime, terrible and precious, wasted and celebrated.

GoGo Monster is a nuanced tale of a young boy and his overly active imagination. Nine-year-old Yuki Tachibana lives in two worlds. In one world, he is a loner ridiculed by his classmated and reprimanded by his teachers for telling stories of supernatural beings that only he can see. In the other worlds, the super natural beings vie for power with malevolent spirits who bring chaos into the school, the stduents lives and nature itself.
