Fanboy Rampage (one of my favorite comics blogs) links to this Top 10 List of Cutest Comics Creators . John Cassaday is a fine, fine, fine looking man, if you were wondering.
Marc Singer reviews and collects some links about WE3 (I agree about the ending), which is a fine, fine, finely written and drawn comic […]

At ALA I picked up a couple of advance copies of some manga that viz is going to be publishing in the next few months, Doubt! by Kaneyoshi Izumi (to be published 2/2/05) and Times Two by Shouko Akira.

So I was thinking that I should come up with a […]

I just finished reading the slightly obscure and sometimes hard to find Clamp series Clover. It came out several years ago, and I think some volumes may be out of print.

I’ve known that wordpress supports category feeds, but I haven’t taken the time before now to actually figure out where they were. All you need to do is add a ?cat=# of category to the base url for any wordpress feed. So! If you only want to subscribe to the section where I talk […]

Everyone else is doing it… my top 5 current manga titles

2. Hot Gimmick. Pure soap opera, this is my favorite teen romance title (along with Mars).
3. I’m going to cheat here […]
