Late night linkage

Posted on November 1, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

Volume 2 of The Dreaming is due out on Nov. 7, but I’m happy to say that I got my copy today. My daughter was making a Barnes & Noble run so I told her to look out for it. Of course, she insisted on reading it first. For those who just can’t wait, Queenie has posted a preview on her website.

David Taylor is closing up shop again at Love Manga. His farewell post is about a book he’s been looking forward to for some time: the first volume of the Rush anthology from DramaQueen. But David’s not hanging up his keyboard; he’s moving over to join the crew at MangaCast, so reset your bookmarks and RSS feeds accordingly.

Simon Jones comments on the yaoi article I linked to yesterday, picking up on the backlash issue. Not surprisingly, his reaction includes a spirited defense of porn—and of free speech. Be sure to read the comments.

Same Hat has a followup post filled with comments and linkage about Dark Horse horror manga, including some interesting comments on scanlation and the unlikeliness of volume 4 of Museum of Terror appearing in English anytime soon.

Manga tarot cards? Sure, why not.
