Yes, it is.
And what happened to Escalation #5?

It doesn't look so much like a manga as it does just a black & white version of the original comic book. If I wanted that, I could just grayscale filter the pages on my computer.
An even better idea would be to save copies of the inked pages and reprint a lineart version of the comic as a manga. Surely by now, they should know enough to expect to have a manga printed of the comics.

Of course, it isn't true manga, since the text bubbles are still left-to-right.

Still due on the 28th. Just an early preview (probably to go with the review that Fractal Matter had.)

Considering some manga originating in Japan is published in Western print order and even in English, this seems a particularly odd criteria.
