That savior is Udon. The have picked up where DMP left off, and the full-color anthology series featuring several manga artists is scheduled to continue with the release of volume 4 of ROBOT in December. Fans will also be pleased to know that the release schedule has been bumped up considerably. What was once an almost yearly release will be moved to a quarterly schedule.
