Sunday morning links

Posted on October 22, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

Ed Chavez is roaming the halls at Yaoi-Con; despite recording over the DramaQueen panel, he has managed to get some news bites and promises audio soon. Also, he got a copy of RUSH and recommends that we all do likewise. Meanwhile, David Taylor has cover scans of all the new licenses and lots of juicy commentary as well.

Reactions are still rolling in to ICv2’s ten most powerful list and Johanna’s addenda. At Icarus Comics, Simon Jones notes a bias toward bookstores.

Wilma Jandoc at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin reviews two global titles, Once in a Blue Moon and Last Hope.

The Star of Malaysia checks out manga cafes and a manga hotel.

Icarus Comics reaches an “emotionally significant milestone”: the first edition of Innocence has sold out. Apparently Icarus is continuing the tradition of the Edo period, at least according to the Museum of Sex. Go figure. This link is only slightly NSFK, but worth a click for the comments (“Needs more tentacles”).

    The tentacles comment was precious. If only the exhibit at MoSex didn’t take itself so seriously!
