The first volume of Trigun Maximum Deluxe Edition will follow in the same format in April 2024.

 

 

Here’s how Dark Horse describes Trigun Deluxe Edition:

 

On the forbidding desert planet of Gunsmoke, a sixty billion double-dollar bounty hangs over the head of Vash the Stampede, a pistol-packing pacifist with a weapon capable of punching holes in a planet. Every trigger-happy psycho in creation is aiming to claim Vash dead or alive—preferably dead!—and although Vash believes in nonviolence, he won’t go down without a fight. And when Vash fights, destruction is sure to follow!

 

 

Trigun Maximum Deluxe Edition synopsis:

 

Vash the Stampede, the galaxy’s deadliest gunslinger, emerges from two years in hiding to help his beleaguered desert homeworld, Gunsmoke. But the Stampede’s many enemies have kept their motors running, and they’re back on his trail and determined to bring Vash to ground—hard! And a new crowd of bounty hunters, badasses, and braincases are also looking to cash in the sixty-billion double-dollar price tag on his head!

 

Yasuhiro Nightow’s original Trigun manga ran in the pages of Tokuma Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Captain magazine from 1995-1997, followed by Trigun Maximum in Shonengahosha’s Young King Ours from 1997-2007. Madhouse produced the first Trigun anime adaptation and anime film Trigun: Badlands Rumble, and Vash recently returned to the screen in Orange’s TRIGUN STAMPEDE.
