Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh (月刊コミック電撃大王 Gekkan Komikku Dengeki Daiō?) is a Japanese seinen manga magazine[1] published by MediaWorks under the Dengeki brand. Many manga serialized in Dengeki Daioh were later published in bound volumes under MediaWorks' Dengeki Comics label. The magazine is sold every month on the twenty-first. A special edition version of the magazine called Dengeki Moeoh is sold bimonthly.
The publication originated from Bandai's Cyber Comix magazine, which later became the short-lived Media Comix Dyne — it lasted three issues. After the publication of Media Comix Dyne was canceled, MediaWorks launched Dengeki Daioh as a quarterly publication in 1994. It eventually developed into a bimonthly magazine in 1996, and later into a monthly publication when its name was changed to its current title, Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh. In recent years, the magazine has taken to publishing information on anime and video games as well where half the magazine contains such information. Dengeki Daioh celebrated its thirteenth year of publication in 2007.
