This drawing style is so American... Maybe it'll do better in DC comics or something but with this kind of drawing style and storyline, it's hard to image Hellgate: London being a popular American Manga.

I found it very difficult to get past the first chapters as its obvious that the author is American by the way he portrays British people and the obvious lack of research into some basic things, such as university systems and scholarships. I know its set in 12 years times but I found that the twisting of the British attitude in some cases (particularly towards sport in the early chapters) so glaringly wrong it is almost to difficult to get around. That said it gets better later on.

this is a great manga, the people who play the game may be the only ones who truely understand it but its good nonetheless. its very grusome at parts especially when that kids head gets cut off by demons and placed on a pillow. i like this manga, im going to be looking forward to volume two.

Hellgate: London Volume 1
  • PAPERBACK: 192 PAGES
  • Language: English
  • ISBN: 1-4278-0700-0
  • EAN: 978-1-4278-0700-7
  • AVAILABLE: NOW
  • MSRP: $10.99

In the year 2020, a demon invasion strikes several cities around the globe...starting with London, home to Temple University Rugby champ John Fowler and his family. In the days leading up to the invasion's climatic Battle of All Hallow's Eve, John and his sister Lindsey attempt to unfold the mystery behind a series of bizarre portents: an exhumed skeleton, a haunting apparition, and a powerful sword that they find in their attic. Solving the mystery, though, reveals something about their family that changes their lives forever.

John Fowler

Diligent student, incredible Rugby player and hung up on his father’s death, John Fowler hardly ever gets into trouble. So it’s out of character when he agrees to pull a prank on with his friends on their archeology teacher. This leads to a sequence of events that ends up revealing a whole lot more about his character than he ever knew.

 

Lindsey Fowler

Goth metal chick with an axe to grind, she hates John’s goody two shoes attitude about his life. She drinks, smokes, parties and on occasion flirts with carnal sin. However, as John begins to face the horror in the looking glass, Lindsey can’t help but to glimpse as well, and what she sees terrifies her.

Writer:
Arvid Nelson is the creator of Dark Horse’s Rex Mundi which has been sold to Infinitum Nihil, Johnny Depp’s production company. He is also the writer for Dark Horse’s Zero Killer and DC’s JSA Classified: Mr. Terrific, as well as a short for Marvel’s X-Men Unlimited.

 

Artist:
Jeong Mo Yang is the co-creator for TOKYOPOP’s upcoming online serial Dyoz as well as an artist for TOKYOPOP’s Star Trek the manga graphic novel series

When we first sat down to discuss creating a manga based on the, at the time, highly anticipated Hellgate: London video game, stories of warriors traversing the streets of The Great Wen strategizing the defense of the city with gritted teeth and burly bluster. But then we thought to ourselves “this is manga. What else characterizes manga better than TEENAGE ANGST.”

Now, please. Fans of demonic bloodlust do not fret. This is a story about teenage angst worthy of a blood and guts, supernatural action game. The teenage angst only serves to underscore the themes that the game already puts forth…if you think of London as a face of the world, the demons as pimples, and a Molten Edge Blade as a mighty powerful astringent.

To this project, I asked Arvid Nelson, the celebrated writer of Rex Mundi, which deals a lot with European historical mythos, and Jeong Mo “Brian” Yang, an artist who worked with me on TOKYOPOP’s first Star Trek book. The result is an emotional rollercoaster replete with a lot of juicy manga thrills, chills and, well, the scariest thing of all…teenage angst.
