SDCC manga news

ComiPress is providing a wonderfully comprehensive roundup of SDCC posts; keep checking this link for updates. Some highlights:

The Del Rey editors are blogging at Active Anime, with mostly light news and cosplay photos, as well as a daily update on Ali Kokmen’s ties. And check out One Potato Two, by translator “Satsuma” as well—yesterday she had some interesting meetings and autographed a book.

Ed Chavez reports on the Viz panel, where the big news is that they will be publishing omnibus editions (3 volumes in 1 for $17.99) of popular titles, starting with Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z. They also announced two new titles, Fallen Vampire and Monkey High! Ed has the covers. ANN has a pretty comprehensive report on the panel as well.

Meanwhile, at the CMX booth, Ed got to take a look at the newly licensed Zombie Fairy, a shonen title that he likens to Oh! My Goddess in its possible girl-appeal.

At the GoComics panel, Tokyopop listed the comics they will make available for cell phones.

And if you’re feeling bad about not being at SDCC, read Heidi’s description of Day 1 and count your blessings.
