Interview: ICv2 published an interview with Dark Horse CEO Mike Richardson and his manga team about Dark Horse manga; this week the website follows up with the non-manga part of the conversation, in which Richardson discusses the company’s mix of different types of comics, the changing audience, and life after Star Wars.

News: Vertical Inc. announced at last weekend’s Genericon that it has licensed Inio Asano’s manga A Girl on the Shore. Asano’s solanin, published by Viz Media, was nominated for Eisner and Harvey awards, and his Nijigahara Holograph was published by Fantagraphics last year. A Girl on the Shore was published as two volumes in Japan, but Vertical’s edition will be a one-volume omnibus.


Cheryl Lynn, founder of the Ormes Society, talks about the importance of promoting diversity in nerd culture: “Having a mentor that has forged the path you wish to travel is important not only to have someone to provide feedback and support, but to show that what you wish to achieve can and has been accomplished. When your sister has already done it, you believe it is possible for you as well.”
