New Gatchaman Comic Series from Mad Cave Studios

[The Other Jason]

Hi all,

Here's another quick update from Mad Cave!

They have now added the Gatchaman digital/physical subscriptions pre-order page I hinted at a few days ago, which they are calling, "GATCHAMAN VOL. 1 SERIES SUBSCRIPTION | 5 DIGITAL ISSUES + 1 PHYSICAL COLLECTED EDITION."

This will allow you to receive digital editions of the regular Gatchaman series issues 1 - 5 as they are released. After issue 5 is released, the issues will be collected into a physical trade paperback, which will then be mailed to your home address.

None of the one-shots or mini-series will be included with this offer.

The subscriptions will be priced at $24.99. You can pre-order here.

There's an episode of the Tradecraft Podcast featuring Tommy Lee Edwards, that unveils some more information about the project such as what Tatsunoko allowed and couldn't allow them to do (no backstories?) as well as that Dr. Nambu will also be getting a one-shot somewhere down the line.
