I took a stop off at Barnes & Noble on my way home tonight to pick up Evangelion manga volume 12, which had a street date of the 15th. An Eva Geeks forum user reported grabbing it last week, and Carl Horn corroborated that some direct vendors like comic shops may have received shipments in advance. This volume, if your curious, covers the JSSDF’s infiltration and massacre of Nerv headquarters on through Eva Unit-01 breaking free of the Bakelite. The volume’s bonus materials include a customary note from Sadamoto, as well as a pair of articles from Tiffany Grant and Yuko Miyamura, the voice of Asuka in English and Japanese, respectively.
As an additional note, this was the first time I was able to go into a store and purchase three separate Evangelion manga at once. It was certainly an interesting feeling.
