On July 3rd, the first Kingdom Hearts II Graphic Novel by Shiro Amano was released. Those of you who preordered it should be getting it very soon if not already. For those of you who would like to buy it, it’s available on Amazon:

You can see where to get the other Graphic Novels in The Graphic Novels News Post.

So, we here at the Panic Network hope you full enjoy your time on The Kingdom Hearts.com - your number one KH2, KH3, and CoM source!

Still no real news about the upcoming “New Project” for now, so I decided to upload some more remixes that I’ve received, most of them absolutely brilliant! You can download them from FileFactory or MegaUpload from the new “More KH Remixes” page.

Also, for those of you still waiting for the English versions of the Atlantica songs, I should be able to get them up sometime over the coming week.

With so little Kingdom Hearts News around and plenty of people wanting to get their hands on a Keyblade, I decided I should show you where to do so. Unfortunately, this only applies to people in the US (which means I can’t get any of this so I don’t know the true quality).

Although there are real swords on the market at very expensive prices, there are some very reasonably priced replicas of Keyblades around, and Amazon.com currently has them on sale cheaper than anywhere else, including their supplier “Top Swords”:

Sora’s Keyblade (14lb) Price: $25.49 All Metal Construction Hanging Chain Included 35” Overall Length Shipping Weight: 14lb

Sora’s Keyblade (12lb) Price: $24.49 Unknown Material Unknown Overall Length Shipping Weight: 12lb

As for other Kingdom Hearts Merchandise, there’s a site that has imported items from the Official Square-Enix Store, including some of the items that were available at the Square-Enix Party 2007, and has them available at reasonable US prices:

GKWorld

Other than confirming again that the next game will NOT be called “Kingdom Hearts III”, it has now been confirmed in Dengeki PS Magazine that:

Unfortunately, this may mean very little news for a couple of months, but we’ll still keep you up-to-date on anything new!

• TheWertle is still working on translating the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania book. We’ll hopefully be getting more scans of it as well. If you want to buy it yourself, you can get it at Play-Asia, but bear in mind that it’s 511 pages almost all in Japanese.
• We are also still getting translations on Kingdom Hearts: Another Report. The Proto Type Report should be the next to be translated.
• More Kingdom Hearts Novels are going on sale soon, apparently possibly with a little bit of information that we haven’t found out yet, but this is unconfirmed.
• After the great feedback on the “Fate of the Unknown” Piano Sheet Music, I’m working on the requests of other arrangements for that piece, as well as creating piano versions of other music from the Kingdom Hearts series by Yoko Shimomura. The Kingdom Hearts OST Complete is still available.
• The Square-Enix USA Online Merchandise Store should be opening soon, so if you’re a big fan, sign up to find out when the store opens.
• The Kingdom Hearts Complete Visual Art Book will be on sale in July if you wish to pre-order it now.
• If there are any unanswered questions about this site or about the Kingdom Hearts series that I might know, please ask in the Frequently Asked Questions section and read the Summary of Kingdom Hearts Interviews.
