As hoped, Marvel has officially extended the FOC date for REBORN #1 to Tuesday June 16th, so we should have basic information about REBORN in place before our orders are due. “REBORN FOC MOVED TO TUESDAY 6/16 TO ALLOW MORE TIME FOR ORDERS!Reborn #1 (MAY090412D, $3.99) is expected to receive nationwide mass media coverage on June 15, and in an effort to give retailers more time to adjust orders, the issue’s FOC date will be moved from Thursday, June 11 to Tuesday, June 16. The on sale date of July 1 is unaffected by the FOC adjustment.” Therefore, Comix Experience WILL now be able to rack the book. See, complaining in public does occasionally do some minor amount of good….  Read More…

Back with more webcomics… * ERFWORLD recently wrapped up its first book, “The Battle of Gobwin Knob”, and I have to admit that Rob Balder and Jamie Noguchi had me fooled. I’d pegged this series as a cute, light-hearted parody of D&D, mainly because that’s what you see for the first thirty pages or so: you’ve got an Evil Overlord besieged by an Alliance of Noble Men and Elves, armies moving and fighting in “turns”, all profanity being replaced with the word “boop” (it’s much funnier than it sounds)… and there’s no shortage of amusing moments scattered about.

Ashen Victor Here’s a question that comes up every so often: we hear plenty about North American cartoonists inspired by the energy and style of manga, but are there any mangaka crazy about cartoonists from the West?
