SDCC wrapup

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Brigid Alverson

Gia winds up SDCC with an account of the CMX panel. The new titles, Genghis Kahn and March on Earth, were announced earlier, but the Q and A sound good.

ICv2 has followup stories on the Tokyopop-Gentosha deal and Del Rey’s planned CLAMP in America book, to be penned by one of our favorite writers, Shaenon Garrity.

Translator Satsuma has the dope on Soryuden.

John Thomas has the press release on Yoshitaka Amano’s Shinjuku; unlike the official Dark Horse site, he has illustrations.

And Deb Aoki has more information about the new Yen Press acquisitions, some of which sound rather interesting, as well as a photo gallery of the con.

Gia has a video of Hiro Mashima drawing Natsu, and Suvudu, Random House’s new blog, also posted some video of his appearance (via Blog@Newsarama)

Head on over to ComiPress for a comprehensive list of posts by manga bloggers at SDCC and new title announcements.
