Two to Check Out

Posted on July 9, 2005 by Brigid Alverson

Ray Tate reviews Nancy Drew #2 on the Silver Bullet Comics site and finds more nice things to say about the writing than the last reviewer. He’s coming at it from a different perspective, anyway, as someone who likes Nancy Drew more than he likes manga.
Meanwhile, Michael Deeley reviews Osamu Tezuka’s Buddha v1: Kapilavastu on Manga Life. Both look like they’re worth a look, for very different reasons, but the $24.95 price tag on the Tezuka book means I’ll be looking to borrow rather than buy.

    IIRC, inexpensive paperback versions of the first two Buddha volumes have been announced by Vertical, although I don’t think they have been published yet…
