Lots of interesting interviews on the Internets this morning. Newsarama has an interview with Eric Wight, who has just signed with Tokyopop to do My Dead Girlfriend.
ANN interviews voice actor Crispin Freeman. Scroll down a bit for his take on Western comics vs. manga:
mature storytelling doesn’t mean tits and ass, it means that there’s emotional stuff going on. So that has always existed—well, not always, but for a very long time—in manga. Sophisticated, emotionally-dangerous storytelling for girls and women that they find powerful and MEAN something to them. And I don’t see the equivalent of that on the American side of things, y’know?
ANN also has a nice interview with Adam Arnold and Jason DeAngelis of Seven Seas, in which they discuss their “stealth approach” to publishing and their plans to expand into films in the future and license their books in Europe and maybe even Japan.
And Wired News chats up Scott McCloud.
