Dark Horse have announced over at Anime Central that they have acquired the rights to distribute the following manga:

Giganto Maxia by Kentarou Miura, aka the Berserk author. Dark Horse will release the one-volume series in February 2016.

RG Veda by CLAMP. Dark Horse's release will be based on the current five-volume omnibus version from Kadokawa, in which they will be releasing the series as three volumes, so each volume will be about 600 pages long. The release will be the same size and format as Dark Horse's editions of Cardcaptor Sakura and Tokyo Babylon. The publisher will release the first volume in August 2016.

Danganronpa: The Animation by Takashi Tsukimi, based on the video game and anime adaptation of the same name. Dark Horse will publish the first of four volumes in March 2016.

I Am a Hero by Kengo Hanazawa. I Am a Hero marks the first time that Dark Horse has licensed a manga from Shogakukan since the company began releasing manga in 1988 with Kazuhisa Iwata's Godzilla manga. Dark Horse's Carl Horn noted that the company was able to acquire the series "due to the persistent work of director of Asian Licensing, Michael Gombos." (Dark Horse has published series that were originally published by Shogakukan before, such as Crying Freeman, but Dark Horse's edition was based on a later 2000 edition of that manga that Koike Shoin had published in Japan.) Dark Horse will release the series in a 2-in-1 omnibus format, and each volume will include color reproductions of the fully-painted color story pages that began each of the Japanese volumes. Dark Horse plans to release the first volume in April 2016.

UPDATE:

As an added bonus and reminder, Dark Horse will be releasing Oh My Goddess! in omnibus format starting this summer! And of course the final volume of this long running series will end soon!

Also, the first volume of the Fate/zero manga will be released in February 2016. Note the manga is not the original source material.
 
A manga adaptation based on the anime adaptation of a game? I can't wait for the novelization of the manga based on the anime based on the game.
 
All over RG Veda. I have several volumes of Goddess but they're different sizes so may sell em on and get the Omnibus.
 
Nice to see someone has finally picked up I Am A Hero, just hope that the world and its mother are not sick enough of zombie stories by this stage to completely dismiss it.
 
I've never really had much interest in OMG but I wonder if once it's finally done with we'll get a proper English language release of You're Under Arrest? That I would be quite interested in.
 
Glad to see RG Veda rescued, I have volume 1 and 10 of the original Tokyopop release, so it will be nice to get the middle part :P

Will get the OMG omnibuses, seeing as the volumes I need are hard to find.
