FredArt Studios L.L.C. (Megatokyo) and Studio Ironcat, L.C.C. (Vampire Princess Miyu, You and Me) reached an agreement to publish the first print collection of Megatokyo.

Megatokyo is a popular webcomic following the mayhem of Piro and Largo's wacky lives in Tokyo. The webcomic can be found here. New strips are released multiple times a week.

"To me, the collections are very important because they let people see all the details they miss in the lower resolution versions available on the website. I believe that there must be special content that makes it worth buying for people who have already read the comic online," said Fred Gallagher (creator). "I'm working with Studio Ironcat to produce a high quality book that is more than just a collection of comics - it needs to capture a little bit of what makes MT what it is, and they are giving me the creative control to do it the way I think it needs to be done, and I'm very excited about the whole process."

"We're really excited about being able to work on Megatokyo together and we're sure that it will be a long and prosperous relationship," says Kei Blue, Domestic Affairs Manager for Studio Ironcat.

"Megatokyo represents a step away from the character-oriented model of American comic books and toward a more Japanese style of storytelling. The fan base has been building for two years, with a wide-reaching audience ranging from comic book fans looking for a new story to gamers looking for humor, to anime fans who can relate to the protagonists," says Dominic Nguyen, the editor of Megatokyo. "Our partnership with Ironcat will bring us to an entirely new audience, outside the boundaries of the internet."

The collection will be over 120 pages. It is set to be on sale in Decemeber through online orders, comic shops, and bookstores. The suggested retail price will be $8.95.
