This Week In Manga 9/26-10/02/09

New York Anime Festival Days 2 & 3 Days 2 & 3 of NYAF brought publishers Del Rey and Viz with more licenses and news.  Del Rey remains conservative with only a few new licenses, but shows it’s still got some cred with Kodansha.  Viz has a little something for everyone in each of their lines, including some interesting suprises.  What isn’t surprising is the number of titles from already known mangaka.  Easier to sell a known than unknown quantity, I would say.

CrossGenesis – A CrossGen Comics Retrospective

I mentioned CrossGen as the number one item on my list of Top 10 Things I Want to See From the Disney/Marvel Acquisition and was surprised how many people actually remember and have read CrossGen comics. The entire Disney buyout had me thinking about CrossGen and I've been banging out a post for it since the announcement. This required hours of research (aka re-reading old comics) and hard work (aka coffee), but I'm pleased to bring you my CrossGen retrospective, which you can find after t
