I got interviewed an interview up by Park and Barb at Silver Bullet Comics and it’s new sister site, Manga Life. Manga Life is going to be a news site much in the vein of Silver Bullet Comics, but concentrating on manga (ofcourse). The interviews are near-identical, with the Manga Life one being editted and with additional graphics, while the extended version is at The Park & Barb Show. For those who don’t know, Barbara writes Gun Street Girl for Graphic Smash, which those who like action with a supernatural twist should check out, and she and Park have a regular column at Silver Bullet Comics and now Manga Life. Manga Life is looking for a news hound, so if you’re it then checkout the site and contact the webmaster. Meanwhile, I’m intending to do some articles on manga for Manga Life, and maybe write a bi-weekly column on manga and/or anything else that is relevant. Since I like to write ham-fisted essays so much.

 

Donation News: Greenpeace it is. Save the Earth. My Taoist sensibilities won in the end over my humanitarian impulses. Not saying that World Vision doesn’t deserve money – but just next time I get my payouts.

 

New Manga Publisher: Checkout GoComi – a new manga publisher, who also did a US-Japan collaboration effort called “The Almost Legendary Shannon”. Gotta love anything to do with the Excalibur. After Seven Seas Entertainment, this can only bode well for the non-Japanese manga industry. Interestingly enough, it’s established by the same person, aka Jake Forbes, that was a former senior editor at TokyoPop. The work itself is the brainchild of Audrey Taylor and David Wise. More stuff to buy!
