I have a feeling 70% of what TP *used* to put out is what you might be talking about but I'm curious...most manga pubs have already cut back on the amount they publish monthly (CMX, TP, even YEN Press aren't releasing quite as many titles each month as they were at their height), save VIZ. VIZ always seems to be the exception to every rule, somehow.... Example of midlist titles?

I tried to deliberately wait till the number hit 3000, but in the end I had to subscribe to about 10-15 random feeds to get over that magic - it appears - number. And, yes, you could argue that I apparently have no life. As for "<i>Best-of</i>" lists, while I have my list for 2007 done (it´s right <a href="http://www.teilzeitgigant.de/688" rel="nofollow">here</a> should anybody care) - I am still waaay behind on actually reviewing all of my picks, like I had and still have planned. Which means I´ll start off 2008 by reviewing both my "<i>Best-of 2007</i>" and "<i>Best-of 2008</i>" books. Whoo boy... (And, I just checked, I still have that unwritten "<i>Talking About The Best Comics of 2005</i>" post, started in reply to your 2005 list, sitting in my drafts folder. Try to beat that.) And; AdHouse´s line-up does indeed look multiple shades of spectacular. AdHouse is da bomb. I have, at this moment, 2036 unread posts in my feedreader, which is interesting because a) I obviousloy am subscribed to too many feeds and b) whenever I actually read, or cleanout, all of those posts the number of unread will rush up to somewhere around 2000 but after that it will just hover around that mark.

As for “Best-of” lists, while I have my list for 2007 done (it´s right here should anybody care) – I am still waaay behind on actually reviewing all of my picks, like I had and still have planned. Which means I´ll start off 2008 by reviewing both my “Best-of 2007” and “Best-of 2008” books. Whoo boy…
