While both are great magazines and terrifically popular with my teens, I’m always on the lookout for new manga mangazines to add to the collection. When Yen Press announced its intention to begin […]
As Brigid reported earlier, day two of NY Comic-Con was sold out, which meant big crowds and boisterous audiences at every panel I attended.
