Does anyone know any way to get hold of Requiem in English? I've read two completely seperate books of it published in Heavy Metal, but that's it, as far as I'm aware it's not possible to buy a trade paperback in English.

Jesus... I mean it's written by Patt Mills so it's not like there wouldn't be a readership waiting for it. I honestly considered learning French just to read it, and no one should have to do a thing like that.

Anyway... if you ever get the chance, check it out, it's about nazi vampires from hell.

Wow. At a glance this story seems to have everything. As well as Nazi vampires it appears to have a flying vampire army attacking steampunk London. Everything is red and dark and on fire.

I assume these scans were taken from Heavy Metal.

Woah, thanks Anon! The scans don't do the artwork justice, but it's better than nothing. Good work!

Oh shit, it's so great reading these again. The first time I read it I don't think I realised book three had Vampire Hitler making an appearance.

I checked it out on rapidshits, I couldn't find anything. I'm sure it must be somewhere though.

NOOOOOO MOTHER INTERNET HAS FAILED ME
The English translation of Requiem #5 was published in Heavy Metal v31 02. People on DC++ with all the Heavy Metal issues collected do not have v31 02, but do have v31 01 and v31 03. The guy I got the above Requiem scans from did not have #5. I have it in French, if anyone's interested ^-^

I found #5 in English. As you can see, the scans are poorer quality than the previous ones.

In the first few pages of the Heavy Metal English translation I notice they removed a couple of Otto's references to "les juifs". That kinda needlessly takes the edge off what he's saying - I mean, he's meant to be antisemitic, he's a former member of the SS.

Here's number 7 in English: http://rapidshare.com/files/264037552/requiem_7.cbr
In French #7 is called "The Convent of the Sisters of Blood" (which makes sense once you read it), but confusingly wikipedia simply calls #7 "Requiem". I guess it's probably a mistake.

I read through the whole lot today and i'm pretty much hooked. So much so that i'm going to try and plough through #8 in French once it's downloaded ( http://rapidshare.com/files/294126120/T08_-_La_reine_des_ames_mortes.rar ).

I notice that the English translation is as of September 2009 available in paperback from UK based publisher Panini. I'd certainly be ordering some if I were in the country. http://www.hypergeek.ca/2009/09/pat-mills-requiem-vampire-knight-receives-an-english-translation-by-panini-uk-and-mills-signs-at-forbidden-planet-on-september-18th.html

This French Requiem fansite http://requiemchevaliervamp.free.fr/sources/accueil.php says that volume 9 of Requiem will be out in France in February next year, and that volume 4 of the spinoff series Claudia Chevalier Vampire will be out in January.

Finally, the nation of Dystopia are right up there with the Holy Britannian Empire from the anime Code Geass in the bizarro-alternate-reality-British-Empire stakes. I love it.

Yep, it's recently just been released as a TPB English translation.

...a bit fucking late though since it's been around what, five years or more?

I'm getting quite overexited about volume 9 of Requiem, which is due out at the end of this month. Some previews of the artwork here: http://theevilsnest.com

Coincidentally it has just been published in the current March 2010 issue of Heavy Metal (http://www.heavymetal.com/shm/product_info.php?products_id=5432) . Doesn't look like anyone has scanned it yet, but anyway Heavy Metal is well worth supporting if you can get a copy.

I dunno.. it's less about the plot for me and more about a couple of nicely designed characters in an interesting world, plus amazing artwork. I read a load of them in one day and finished #8 still wanting more. This may or may not have to do with the fact that #8 finishes with our hero having sex with a demon baboon.
