October 17, 2011 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

Good news for fans of No Flying No Tights: Robin Brenner’s site is back and better than ever! The newly relaunched NFNT offers visitors many options for finding titles, with categories for age, genre, and format, as well as a list of staff picks. Check out the review index below for links to the site’s newest reviews.

Have you read Nursery Rhyme Comics: 50 Timeless Rhymes from 50 Celebrated Cartoonists? If not, you’ll want to check out Robot 6’s interviews with contributors Richard Sala (“Three Blind Mice”), Eleanor Davis (“The Queen of Hearts”), Aaron Renier (“The Lion and the Unicorn”), Chris Duffy (“One, Two Buckle My Shoe”) and Scott C.

Congratulations to Stan Sekai, whose series Usagi Yojimbo will reach an important milestone this month: its 200th issue! To mark the occasion, Sekai has written a special story, “200 Buddhas.” Look for it in comic stores on October 26th.

Deb Aoki has ten suggestions for how JManga could improve its website. “Give readers a chance to share what they like and/or didn’t like, and maybe give the manga-ka a chance to respond/talk about their creations,” she argues. “It sure would beat some of the dry plot summaries that are already posted. This could also be a way for readers to provide feedback about translation glitches too.”

Library staff in Cincinnati, OH share a list of their teens’ favorite titles. Among them: Fruits Basket, xxxHolic, and Fables.

Reviews: Johanna Draper Carlson looks at the full line of DC Super Pets readers, and pronounces them good, silly fun for grade schoolers. Over at The Forbidden Planet blog, long-time contributor Richard takes a look at Babymouse and Squish.
