Welp… bad news for Pizza Cat fans. 😿🍕

Nakama Press has officially delayed Samurai Pizza Cats Vol. 1 again — this time pushing the release window back by another two months.

At this point, the manga has gone from:
➡ April 2026
➡ August 2026
➡ now October 2026.

I’m trying to stay optimistic, because the franchise itself is more alive right now than it has been in decades:
🎮 upcoming game
🤖 new model kits & figures
📚 manga revival
🐱 growing overseas interest

…but I’d be lying if I said the repeated delays weren’t frustrating. 😅

Hopefully this means we’ll end up with a final product with extra polish, stronger coordination with Tatsunoko, better production quality, and long-term plans for the series…. rather than trouble behind the scenes.

For now, we wait. Again. 🫠

My first auto grades for comic books. Very satisfied with the grades on the autos. The grades on the books i thought should have been better. Satisfied with the turnaround time.

Recent pickup. One of my favorites so far this year.

Watched The Punisher: One Last Kill last night and it’s a tidy reintroduction of Frank Castle to the MCU. The one-shot special has a definite John Wick vibe - right down to the revenge-fueled storyline involving a dog.

In honor of the show's release, here’s a look at my copy of Amazing Spider-Man #129 - where Frank Castle first stepped onto the page in 1974, long before he entered the MCU.
