Legal Panels at NYCC 2010

Hello fellow readers,

Here are two panels that are perfect for you! Yes, newbie artists and writers should attend, especially if you want to make a career out of it. The panels will be focusing on the legal aspect of creativity. Both are run by experienced attorneys and professionals in the world of comics. So here is your chance to learn how to protect your creation! These are panels you cannot miss! Seriously, you cannot miss it. I learned more from the attorneys at their presentations than, well, at school. So here is an idea on how good their presentations are: Intellectual Property 101 NYCC 2009. See you there!

Del Rey Manga is No More!

Yes, it is true. Random House will stop publishing manga licensed from Kodansha Ltd. However, Kodansha USA Publishing will be printing the manga titles in the states. Random House Publisher Services will be providing the sales and distribution services to Kodansha USA in December. My question is, what about others who may have licensing agreements with Kodansha? What will happen to those titles?
