SQUARE ENIX | COMICON

Did you know Square Enix is one of Japan’s leading comic book publishers?

Square Enix presents artwork from 7 of our hit comic series from Japan, including the U.S. hits "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Enchanter." The artwork has been scanned in high resolution and reproduced identical to the original so you can see even the artist’s touch and texture of each pen stroke. “Fullmetal Alchemist” in particular will have monumental presence, as we will feature color and B&W art from the series—10 pieces each!

This is your chance to experience these titles in its true form!

The animated Fullmetal Alchemist returns as a feature-length film!

The story takes place in the year 1923 in Munich, 2 years after the television series setting. Edward continues his research in an effort to return to his former world, where his friends and Alphonse await. His anxiety slowly builds, eventually filling him with despair and resignation. This all changes with his rescue of a Gypsy girl.

In the midst of the German social downfall, Edward is quickly thrust into the Thule Society’s evil plot.
Will the brothers separated between two worlds ever reunite?

This feature film, awarded as the “#1 animation of the year” out of 389 nominations at the 5th Annual Tokyo International Anime Fair, is finally going to be released in the US for the first time on September 8th, 2006!

Comic fans in Japan can now enjoy comics on their mobile phones!

In 2003, a service enabling users to read comics on 3G mobile handsets began in Japan. Square Enix also initiated this service on March 17th, 2006 with “Fullmetal Alchemist.” So far, a total of 9 titles have been released in this format. Users have found the ability to enjoy comics in a limited amount of downtime especially convenient.

We will demo the 1st episode of “Fullmetal Alchemist” at the Square Enix booth so you can experience this fresh approach to reading yourself. We have also provided an English version of the comic just for the event. Please take this opportunity to experience and enjoy reading comics with the added benefit of text pop-ups and vibration features unique to the mobile format.

We hope that American fans can enjoy this service in the near future!
