VIZ officially going into novels

Currently announced titles- Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell Innocence, Steamboy, Socrates in Love, and Kamikaze Girls. Only Steamboy's blurb indicates illustrations will be included...

*I know the question of FMP will come up. I can't say, but I expect that ADV may currently have a hold on FMP's novels- they pay a little bit of money to have first dibs in case they decide they want to pay for the license later, depending on the success of other FMP stuff and ADV's books in general. Another publisher could only buy the license if ADV fails to license before the hold option ends. This is if ADV took that option in their contracts for the other FMP materials.*
The audience applauded, even though it was not clear what Bush meant.
