ICv2 wakes us up this morning with the news that Netcomics is branching out into two new genres. Your Lover is a shoujo title about the love affair between French painter Marie Laurencin and poet Guillaume Appolinaire. Lethe is a sci-fi tale set in the future, about a battle between two civilizations that left earth centuries before and evolved in different directions.
A press release on the Netcomics site gives details on these and other tales. It looks like the fall list includes several shoujo titles, so this should be interesting.
