New comics and job openings

Is it Wednesday already? David Welsh peruses this week’s comics list.

At PWCW, Kai-Ming Cha has the scoop on Viz’s deluxe re-release of Tekkonkinkreet.

ComiPress has a serialization update from Japan and links to an article about doujinshi and freedom of speech at Hesei Democracy.

Are manga just like indy comics only with happy endings? The crowd at the Bendis Board chews on that one for a while. (Via the Newsarama blog, where a commenter turns indy cliches into a drinking game.)
