TOKYOPOP to close publishing in North America in May
Saw this bit of news on Twitter via The Yaoi Review. As Blu Manga is an imprint of Tokyopop, we can also say goodbye to their titles. No more Junjou Romantica, Sex Pistols, or newly announced Sekai Ichi Hatsuoki. More at Anime News Network and some interesting commentary at The Manga Critic.
ETA: An Insider's Look at TOKYOPOP's Demise
Deb Aoki's Round up
Opinion Prone
Santorum for Prez?
On Shakesville I saw the news that Rick Santorum has formed a presidential exploratory committee. NO! Dear fucking god NO! He repped my state and was a bigoted douche bag. He no longer reps PA but he's still a bigoted douche bag.
But, in good news...
AMERICAN GODS TV SERIES IN DEVELOPMENT AT HBO
On Tor.com's Facebook page I saw a link to this headline HBO Developing Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' for Series. Hopefully Gaiman will be as involved with the series as he was with the adaptations of Coraline and The Graveyard Books. Now if only they'd pick up Good Omens.
Production has begun on Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of The Hobbit
Check out Jackson's video blog. There are a couple of familiar faces and sets! Neat stuff. But such a tease! The movie is slated for release in December 2012.
