Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Shojo Beat Cover
In a confluence of fortuitous circumstances, Mal is doing the cover to the March issue of Shojo Beat, which is dropping in (I think) a few weeks. Lovely little cover. Head over to Bryan Lee O’Malley’s livejournal to find out just what other surprises await you in The Art Issue.
In other my-friends-are-cool news, our event with Kean and Kazu got picked up at BlogTO and even made it onto the front cover of The Toronto Star, in an article on young readers graphic novels!
Good day.

That Shojo Beat cover is like a beautiful dream. I hope Oni has lots of copies of Scott Pilgrim handy after this drops.

[…] Beaten Filed under: Linkblogging, Viz — davidpwelsh @ 8:13 pm You know how you’ll be making a grilled cheese and waiting to flip it and you’ll pass the time by thinking, “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” and making a list? I’d be willing to swear this turn of events has actually been a recurring item on those lists. It’s just 31 flavors of awesome. […]

[…] A bit of business first: I didn’t update yesterday because of WordPress problems; the site mostly stayed up, but my Akismet spam-blocker did not, so I got over 1,000 spam comments during that time. So, if you commented here and your commen never got posted, it’s because it got washed away by all the Tramadol and Paris Hilton sex tape ads (apparently she has a new video out). Sorry about that; just resend if that’s the case and I’ll post it. (Unless you’re a bot, in which case—go away!) If you haven’t checked PWCW yet, go see my interview with Amy Reeder Hadley, author of Fool’s Gold and the artist for the upcoming Madame Xanadu series from Wildstorm. Also at PWCW: an introduction to Gothic Lolita style, a preview of the manhwa Kingdom of the Winds, and the February bestsellers, five of which are Naruto (also checking in: Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Black Cat).David Welsh looks at upcoming manga, both this week’s new releases and those in the latest Previews.ComiPress presents another chapter of Manga Zombie, this one about Kaiiwara Ikki and his “lunatic period.” They also post the latest manga updates from Japan, including word of a new Rumic Theater chapter by Rumiko Takahashi. Viz is setting up a Manga Cafe and Reading Lounge at the Kennedy Center as part of the Japan! Culture + Hyper Culture exhibit there. This is the third time I have heard of this—they had one at the Tezuka exhibit in San Francisco and at NYAF.Check out the cover of the latest Shojo Beat, drawn by Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim) at Comics212. Daniel Hernandez has pictures of the Manga Comic TNT convention in Mexico City.Reviews: It’s MW mania out there: David Welsh devotes his final Flipped column to it, andat Thought Balloonists, Craig Fischer discusses Tezuka’s presentation of homosexuality, among other things, and co-blogger Charles Hatfield responds. (Last two links via Journalista.) Also picked up at Journalista, and well worth a read: Noah Berlatsky critiques Cardcaptor Sakura. Kethylia reviews two yuri titles from Seven Seas, vol. 1 of First Love Sisters and Voiceful. […]

That is the sweetest news I’ve heard in a long time. I’m gonna be all over that thing.
