Gia just posted some news San Diego Comic Con 2009: Del Rey Comics & Zombies 9:51PM
Hey folks, gia from Anime Vice here! I hit up Del Rey Manga's panel at Comic-Con this year, and as usual, it was a big hit. But there was a bonus this year: Del Rey's newest imprint, Del Rey Comics! I kinda thought some of you might be interested. One of the first announcements they made for the imprint was a graphic novel adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, ...

Gia created a blog How Not to be an Asshole at Q&A Sessions 9:23AM
I wrote this piece for Anime Vice, but with the exception of my examples, I left it pretty non-specific. Why? Because these douchebags who waste valuable Q&A time appear at ALL conventions, be they for anime, comics, video games, serial killers, or technical support. So please, for the sake of fandoms everywhere, read How Not to be an Asshole at Q&A Sessions. And when you're done reading it, Digg it. ...

Gia created a blog Digg Anime Vice's Interview with Peter Craig! 9:34AM
So, I spent a lot of time cold-calling Hollywood people in hopes of scoring an interview related to the Cowboy Bebop film-- and lucky for me, I struck gold getting to interview scriptwriter Peter Craig!If you guys enjoyed the interview, I would *really* appreciate a bit of help on Digg, if you have a moment to do so-- or to just pass it on to a friend who you know ...

Gia just posted some news Writer Peter Craig Speaks on Cowboy Bebop Flick 5:02PM
So, when the Cowboy Bebop movie was first announced , I spent some time facing the perilous prospect of cold-calling a Hollywood studio in hopes of getting a few questions about the project answered. I was relieved when I was able to get in touch with people involved fairly quickly, and even got my answers-- direct from writer Peter Craig, who's writing the script for the film! Without further ado, ...

Gia just posted some news Forget Marvel Manga: Try Marvel Manhua 3:47PM
Okay, most of you are already familiar with manga, but how many of you have picked up a manhwa (from Korea) or a manhua (from China)? They're a bit rarer, but becoming more and more common. TOKYOPOP recently released Chinese artist Benjamin's Orange, a simply stunning full-color one-shot graphic novel.Why should you guys care? Because I'm guessing someone at Marvel picked up Orange-- and they were as impressed as I ...

Gia just posted some news Costumed Spidey Saves the Day 7:57AM
If this story doesn't make you go “awww,” then nothing can touch the far reaches of that dark, cavernous, and frozen piece of meat you pass off as a heart. In Thailand, a young autistic boy was sitting on a third-story ledge of his special needs school. He was terrified of his first day at the school and absolutely refused to come inside, leading the teachers at the school to ...

Gia created a blog Curiosity kills the gia: A western comics anthology? 2:21PM
In Japan, people usually buy chapters of various manga collected together into a single phonebook-size anthology, to get their immediate fix on the plot...these books are usually disposed of and they buy the series they want to reread later, in the "tankobon" (equivalent to a TPB) format.As comic fans fret about the prices of their individual chapters, do you think a system like this could ever work for works in ...

Gia just posted some news Marvel's Latest Anime Project 4:23PM
Marvel has  made any number of attempts to appeal to Japanese (and Japanophile) audiences: the Marvel Mangaverse, past Spider-Man and Wolverine manga, past announcements of four Marvel anime from production company Madhouse (so far only Iron Man and Wolverine are confirmed to be among these), and Del Rey Manga's upcoming X-Men and Wolverine series.But now there's more: Tatsunoko, the production company behind anime like Speed Racer, the Time Bokan series, ...

Gia created a blog Obama's Town Halls vs Comic Con: More Similar Than You'd Think 12:18PM
Man, I don't get around over here often enough at ALL! @_@ Getting the Vice established keeps me pretty busy ;)But I did find time (on a plane) to write a short 'essay' on some of the similarities of President Obama's town hall meetings on the economy and the Q&A sessions that take place at conventions. Thought some of you might find it interesting, so here it is! :) (And ...

If you guys enjoyed the interview, I would *really* appreciate a bit of help on Digg, if you have a moment to do so-- or to just pass it on to a friend who you know Diggs, if you don't yourself. :)

Thanks!

Speaking of new writers at Anime Vice, I'm trying to get everyone to digg GodLen's recent feature, "10 Groups I'd Like to See as Power Rangers Before I Die," which includes, among other things, a group of nothing but Red Rangers that includes Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Segal, and Bruce Willis. Mwahaha.

So if any of you guys here at Comic Vine want to help give Len a warm, wet, sloppy, drunk Whiskey Media welcome, help us out! Digg it, share it with your friends. <3
