David Welsh runs through his picks of this week’s new comics.
In this week’s Publishers Weekly Comics Week, Chris Arrant writes about Udon’s taking over the anthology Robot.
Dark Horse has a preview up of Shaman Warrior. (Via Mecha Mecha Media.)
Adam Stephanides looks at Hoshi Wa Utau, the new manga by Fruits Basket creator Natsuki Takaya.
Attention please! Kethylia has a public service announcement regarding CLAMP nomenclature.
ANN confirms the rumor we heard earlier this week, that the current issue of Dengeki Comic gao! will be its last. Also: There’s a manga edition of Yoshiki Tanaka’s Titania novels in the works.
Reviews: Dave Ferraro enjoys vol. 1 of Antique Bakery at Comics-and-More. Julie reviews vol. 2 of Wild Ones at the Manga Maniac Cafe. Danielle Van Gorder takes a taste of vol. 1 of Vanilla at Anime on DVD. Michelle checks out vols. 1 and 2 of Nana at Soliloquy in Blue. Ferdinand posts a brief review of vol. 2 of Presents at Prospero’s Manga. Connie looks over vol. 18 of Fruits Basket at Slightly Biased Manga. They posted ’em late, so I don’t feel too bad about linking to About Heroes’ Midweek Manga Reviews a little late as well. And there’s a new set of reviews up at Comics Village: John Thomas on All Nippon Air Lines, Dan Polley on vol. 12 of Golgo 13, Lissa Pattillo on Yumi Kira Dream Shoppe, Charles Tan on vol. 2 of Uzumaki, and Lori Henderson on vol. 5 of Togari.
Just to be clear, the SHAMAN WARRIOR link isn’t a “preview” so much as a complete chapter. According to editor Philip Simon, they will be adding a chapter every Friday, so it won’t be too many weeks before the entire first volume is online.
