Comic Book Resources has launched a bi-monthly manga column, Calling Manga Island by Tony Salvaggio. His first outing takes an in-depth look at Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, a classic by master mangaka Hayao Miyazaki.
At Newsarama, Troy Brownfield looks back at 2004 in his Your Manga Minute column. I particularly agree with his take on DC and Marvel’s respective responses to the manga surge.
Thanks to everyone who’s blogged about my freshman outing at Comic World News (most recently Johanna, Lyle, and Scott). I’m a bit horrified that people expect it to be interesting on a regular basis. Cunard never said anything about that.
