Scary Wednesday

Posted on October 31, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

This week’s PWCW has two must-read pieces for manga fans, Kai-Ming Cha’s article on Vertical’s plans to publish Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack and Ed Chavez’s report on Yaoi-Con. And while it’s not manga, check out my piece on Thunder Road and Uclick’s plan to bring cell phone comics to the web.

The new, improved MangaCast is live! ComiPress talks to Ed Chavez about their move, including transitioning from LiveJournal to WordPress. At the shiny new site, Jack Tse launches his new podcast, This Week in Manga.

Yamila Abraham of Yaoi Press is back from Yaoicon. And ComiPress rounds up the new license announcements.

Same Hat links to some previews of MW.

Reviews: At Active Anime, Scott Campbell looks at vol. 2 of Parasyte and vol. 2 of Alive. Kethylia checks out Osamu Tezuka’s MW. Ferdinand reviews Princess Ai: The Ultimate Edition, vol. 1 of Dorothy of Oz, and issue 1 of Multiple Warheads at Prospero’s Manga. Tangognat checks out Le Chevalier d’Eon.
