To get us in the mood for Halloween, ChunHyang72 will be posting about scary manga every week. First up: vampire manga.
DramaQueen has announced two new titles, Aijin Ichimanyen, by Dr. Ten, and 8 MM, by You Na.
This is kind of cool: ComiPress translates a story about a new online comics store in Japan that sells complete sets of old series. I’d love a service like that in English, especially if the prices were low. Also on ComiPress: nominations are now being accepted for the Tezuka awards.
Reviews: Air Gear and Old Boy wash up on the shores of Manga Island; Manganews has new reviews up of W Juliet and Hissing; the somewhere-in-Pennsylvania Patriot-News looks at Abandon the Old in Tokyo, and at MangaCast, Christian does a text review of Emma.
Free manga for today: DrMaster has a preview up of the backstory of Chinese Hero.
The Patriot-News is a Harrisburg paper, last time I checked. Not much of one, but better than my local paper, the Centre Daily Times, which isn’t a Garnett paper, but you could be excused for thinking so. The comics in question don’t sound like my sort of thing. Usually I prefer a little of the fantastic to leaven my gloomy despair.
