SDCC followups

Posted on July 22, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

Last week, Pata said,

Ed Chavez will own this year’s manga coverage at San Diego.

And he’s right. Ed is not only blogging from SDCC but also recording the panels and putting them up as podcasts, and he deserves a Yomi of his own for doing this.

Aside from that, manga coverage is spotty. The Tokyopop panel attracted some attention, with articles from Newsarama and PW Comics Week. PWCW also has a wrapup piece that focuses on manga and manwha. Toonzone has filed a number of reports, but none as detailed as Ed’s.

    Right now the I am absolutely tripping off the fact I got to talk soccer with JTK for a bit while KOCCA took pictures of us after our 11 minute interview/chat/talk. As if a signature wasn’t enough! I need sleep and yesterday’s lunch. TP cake wasn’t enough. So hungry
