Trigun creator, Yasuhiro Nightow, returns to Dark Horse with a frantic new mini-series — Blood Blockade Battlefront!

In Nightow's new world, a breach between Earth and the netherworlds has opened up over the city of New York, trapping New Yorkers and creatures from other dimensions in an impenetrable bubble. They've lived together for years, in a world of crazy crime sci-fi sensibilities. Now someone is threatening to sever the bubble, and a group of stylish superhumans is working to keep it from happening.

Like Trigun, Nightow's Blood Blockade Battlefront is non-stop action, unbridled imagination, and a ton of strange weaponry.
Yasuhiro Nightow is a Japanese manga artist and game creator who created the anime and manga Trigun. Nightow was born on April 8, 1967, in Yokohama, Japan. He moved to Yokosuka when he was in elementary school and spent his junior high and high school years in Shizuoka.
