Now, this might just be because it comes from The New Yorker, a publication famous for feeling elitist and making you feel not [...]
Scanlations helped create the manga publishing industry, but some publishers regard them as a major threat nonetheless. This week, ICv2 interviewed Tokyopop marketing director Marco Pavia and one of the questions that came up was whether scanlations are stealing sales, as some retailers claim.

Especially since they are, by and large, collections I know I love and so can be based mostly on what the book offers that the webcomic cannot. Of course, if you’ve got [...]
People seem to be making lots of lists lately. Dave White of Blog 7415 lists the webcomics he reads, the ones he has dropped, and the ones that are at the border, while Johanna Draper Carlson accentuates the positive at Comics Worth Reading with some new webcomics worth reading. And this post, 10 Great Webcomics [...]
