Friday the 13th, part infinity

Posted on October 13, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

To get us in the mood for Halloween, ChunHyang72 will be posting about scary manga every week. First up: vampire manga.

DramaQueen has announced two new titles, Aijin Ichimanyen, by Dr. Ten, and 8 MM, by You Na.

This is kind of cool: ComiPress translates a story about a new online comics store in Japan that sells complete sets of old series. I’d love a service like that in English, especially if the prices were low. Also on ComiPress: nominations are now being accepted for the Tezuka awards.

Reviews: Air Gear and Old Boy wash up on the shores of Manga Island; Manganews has new reviews up of W Juliet and Hissing; the somewhere-in-Pennsylvania Patriot-News looks at Abandon the Old in Tokyo, and at MangaCast, Christian does a text review of Emma.

Free manga for today: DrMaster has a preview up of the backstory of Chinese Hero.

    The Patriot-News is a Harrisburg paper, last time I checked. Not much of one, but better than my local paper, the Centre Daily Times, which isn’t a Garnett paper, but you could be excused for thinking so. The comics in question don’t sound like my sort of thing. Usually I prefer a little of the fantastic to leaven my gloomy despair.
