I'm getting the feeling what happened now actually is that the publication staff burst into Miura's office a few weeks after 297 was sent to them to see how 298 was going...and found him surrounded by mountains of Griffith spreads, in piles labelled up to chapter 310, furiously working on another one at that moment.

They immediately seized him and threw him into solitary confinement until he promised not to do that anymore.

...and they've only just got an agreement!

He probably ran out of toilet paper to draw more spreads on. 4 months of toilet paper.

94 is out, and 95 is going to to be the last chapter and apparently it will be double the length to fit into the last volume.

on a totally unrelated note, hellsing 95 is out and the series is complete...:

I thought Alucard could kill faster than just 13 people per hour. Well now it's just a matter of waiting for the rest of the OVAs to come out...
Hey, maybe Guts would have reached Elfhelm by then!

I think even Alucard would have trouble taking on millions of people at once, especially since he probably was less powerful as well.

This ending was good, though it reeks of a need for a sequel, since now it leaves Alucard and Seras around to... grin a lot and scare the human staff for all eternity with occasional "boos" through walls.

Hahahaha, oh poo poo. This surpasses my expectations. I thought we'd get something like Alucard living on through Seras, either literally or symbolically. Instead, Alucard breaks free of the Uncertainty Prison by eliminating every other probable outcome by hand. It's so wonderfully over the top, and so very Hellsing.

Soooo... how about that Berserk, guys? :haw:

Yeah I was pretty happy with Alucard coming back. It'd been so disappointing if he didn't. Also scar face was still around and that was pretty cool as well.

I wonder if he's going to do any more spin off omake/series other than the dawn and the omakes of vatican 13.

And... only a few more days for the next berserk which I hope isn't a bunch of two page spreads...

So what, did Ganishka split himself into smaller more manageable pieces? That sucks but I suppose fighting a towering giant which crushes your army as it walks would have been impossible. Griffith could have turned into a 'hawk of light' or something I dunno...

e: announcement page: Also not too fond of the ganishkalings - reminds me of the Cloverfield zerg, which were also pretty lame. The answer to "how can I make a giant monster interact with people?" isn't "make smaller monsters." But hey, as long as things are moving forward!

I guess the waits are understandable again when you see stuff like this. Most normal people would probably take like a week to do something like that alone, even with a degree of talent

It's insane that for all those years he did have a chapter out every 2 weeks really.

I've heard that when Berserk finishes at the end of its seven hundred and seventy seventh year running you'll be able to put all the two page spreads together and they'll spell out one of the secret words that form the basis of the universe.

I guess this fight must be really important to Miura somehow. We've had nothing but hype and set up of it for like a loving year, using as many spreads as possible on as LITTLE as possible.

It all looks pretty but I seriously hope this is like some massive turning point in the storyline or something with how much hype it's got.

When Griffith wins the battle against Ganishka (and he will), every man, woman and child in the kingdom is going to love him unquestioningly. He will literally be without fault. This battle will pretty much seal the world's fate.

It seems like it's a pretty big deal right now as it is. Right in front of all his potential countrymen, the Pope and his meal ticket/bride to be he is showing that his main force is comprised of horrible, gribbly monsters from the depths of hell.
Considering how most people don't like that kind of stuff when it comes to a leader this is a pretty big step for ol' Griff.

Let's face it, even with the cruel truth of the Apostles showing (the fact that they're horrific monsters), I don't think it's going to change anything. After all, Griffith is becoming a Saint, fate and causality are moving to create him as this divine hero. Free will/ the ability to even see what they are probably doesn't matter at this point, seeing as how it's gotten to where EVERYONE is having these visions in their dreams.

Is that just a comment on schedules or did Millar do a poster issue? I imagine it'd veer more towards "wall of explosion" than "end of Promethea."

My mistake, the artist was Bryan Hitch for The Ultimates, Millar wrote it. He drew an 8-page panel for The Ultimates V2#13. The ultimate fold-out page really.
