All Things Avatar The Last Airbender Related That’s Coming in 2025/2026

Here, we reveal everything you want to know about what’s happening this year for Avatar the Last Airbender. This article covers everything revealed at Fan Expo Vancouver, along with announcements from Dark Horse Comics and the studio.

Avatar the Last Airbender Omnibus Regular Edition
Softcover edition available to order on Amazon USA

While fans of Avatar are eagerly waiting for the animated movie to release in 2026, the adventures that have taken place as published by Dark Horse Comics are getting a proper Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus collection! I’ve been collecting these comics as they came out, and they feel like a perfect continuation. This ought to be enough to sate eager fans following the news of the television series, Avatar: Seven Havens, which is a continuation of the franchise. The summary is as follows (from Variety):

Per the official logline, the series is set in “a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra—but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.”

As for the movie, the date for release is January 2026. At Fan Expo Vancouver, I said hi to Zach Tyler Eisen again. I saw him last year at Emerald City and asked if the creators considered him to come back for some kind of return role. Even then, non-disclosure agreements would prevent him from revealing anything. Also, Gordon Cormier, from the live-action version, was at the Terminal City show and this time he had a booth! Their panel was about answering questions from fans rather than offering updates regarding what’s being planned. One takeaway is that Cormier is excited about Toph’s debut! He did not mention when season two would air. Also, the fact both sides are supportive of one another says it all.

Hiroya Oku’s Gantz G Omnibus is Ready to Rumble Via A Dark Horse

After Dark Horse Comics released twelve omnibus collections of the original Gantz manga series, they’re continuing with Gantz G Omnibus and hopefully, that’s just one.

Release Date: Sept 25

Anyone who has followed Gantz will find a lot of familiarity with the concept. When a young teen accidentally dies, instead of moving on to their next life, they awaken in a type of limbo where they have to prove their worth. From the original tale set in modern day Japan to a side-story and now a historical action drama, this crazy R.I.P.D. cum Predator concept has elements to like, and danger to gasp at. The creators adapted it to anime, but reading the original story remains unsurpassed.

From the Press Release:

Gantz, the powerful manga series from creator Hiroya Oku, has garnered a massive following since it debuted in 2000 and became a pillar of the action genre. Dark Horse Manga has brought Gantz to English in 37 traditional tankobon style paperback volumes, which have been collected into 12 omnibus volumes that gather multiple chapters in one.

Look Out Chicago! Sorting Out All The Latest Gunsmith Cats and Riding Bean News

Fans of 90s anime will be thrilled to learn there’s rereleases of two of Kenichi Sonoda’s most recognised classics, Riding Bean and Gunsmith Cats! And we have the details on what’s offered on print and video!

Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 1Dark Horse Comics & AnimEigo
Release Date: Feb, 2025

The Gunsmith Cats are coming back in an omnibus collection from Dark Horse Manga! For newcomers, what’s offered is sure to please. Past editions are long out of print, and as much as I’d love to see brand-new stories happen, it’s not looking likely. Everything depends on what creator Kenichi Sonoda wants to do, especially following his attempts to reboot Bean Bandit / Riding Bean.

But for his most beloved series starring two bounty hunters, this edition collects:

  • Gunsmith Cats Revised Edition vol. 1 (2007) [entire volume]
  • Gunsmith Cats Revised Edition vol. 2 (2007) [p. 1-134]

or the equivelent of:

  • Gunsmith Cats vol. 1: Bonnie & Clyde (1996)
  • Gunsmith Cats vol. 2: Misfire (1997)
  • Gunsmith Cats vol. 3: The Return of Gray (1998)

The release date for Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 2 has not been announced, but it’s safe to assume that it will be next year or later in 2025.

The BPRD Omnibus is here, and Should We Fear Volume Two’s Coming Next Month?

Dark Horse Comics will be releasing three BPRD Omnibus collections featuring past adventures of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence (from the Hellboy universe)! Review of the first at:

BPRD OmnibusAvailable to purchase on Amazon USA

Not every reader of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy may be aware of how important the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence is. When Red isn’t out on his own, he’s also an agent of this organisation, and they’ve done a lot to help keep Earth safe. The BPRD Omnibus is a terrific book to see what else they’ve done throughout the run, if one considers the decades of books released like a living world ever expanding as new comic book series comes out.

Collectors and newcomers can also easily lose track on where each mini-series fits in. Thus, the BPRD Ominus is the tome to read rather than to go digging through comic book bins for what to examine for the night. I’m still taking my time reading this big 400-page compilation. It’s huge, and going through this book shouldn’t be rushed. The work put into this collection has a lot of material to appreciate. Since it focuses on all the field agents, we’re not going to be seeing Hellboy all the time.
