Hotel

Dark comedy about creepy hotel ran from 2006 to 2015 Seven Seas Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it has licensed Seiman Douman's The Voynich Hotel manga. The first volume is slated for June 26, 2018. Seven Seas describes the story: Staffed by murderous maids and situated on a war-ravaged island, the Voynich Hotel is far from your run-of-the-mill vacation destination–but it's not such a bad place to lie low for ex-yakuza Kazuki Taizou, who's on the run from his so-called family. As he settles into his weird new life, this darkly comedic manga winds through plots both nefarious and romantic, delving ever deeper into the island's witchy–and sometimes demonic–strangeness. Douman launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Young Champion Retsu magazine in 2006 and ended it in March 2014. Akita Shoten published the series in three compiled volumes.

Fans of The Umbrella Academy are a patient bunch, and that patience has just been rewarded with a little tease. Young Animal curator, writer, musician and sometimes artist Gerard Way revealed an early look at the villains which are set to debut in the third volume of his Dark Horse Comics series, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion. On his Instagram page, Way revealed a piece of artwork introducing a supervillain team called The Phantom Five. “The Phantom Five have been in my head for almost 8 years and I always thought they’d make cool super villains for the Umbrella Academy to fight,” he wrote in the caption. “They are obviously a riff on the Fantastic Four, but ghosts.” The artwork features the five villains, who appear to count among them a zombie, a sheet-ghost, a Jacob Marley-like character wearing chains, a “creepy little girl” (Way’s words) and some type of dog. However, Way warns that these
