Seven Seas Licenses Absolute Duo Manga... *Crickets*

By Dustin Cabeal

I wanted to like anime based on this manga, but it was just too trope heavy. What really did it in was the fact that it took all these strong female characters and made them weak compared to the main male character... who was pretty fucking weak. It's just a harem fantasy that lacked humor, action and an original premise. But hey... maybe the manga is better... he typed with raised shoulders.

Image Plans A Shit Ton of Variants For 25th Year Anniversary

By Dustin Cabeal

Yay... variants. Themed variants for each month... but only starting in February. This is why I hate variants. Image doesn't need to do this shit. Sure it "sounds" awesome because they aren't known for it, but if you need a reminder of how old this shit gets, look no further than Dark Horse and BOOM!'s celebration last year or Aspen's from two years ago... that shit almost put them out of business. At least it looked that way when they stopped publishing titles. The point is, this seems exactly like the shit that Image publisher Eric Stephenson is always talking about being terrible for the industry. Guess it doesn't matter when you hit 25 years.

Alterna Comics Returns To Newsprint

By Dustin Cabeal

I have to admit that there's a bit of brilliance to this. A lot of Alterna Comics' titles are in black and white so it would be an easy transition for most. That and I'm curious to see what happens. What do the creators think? Will readers try it? Will other publisher give it a shot? It made me interested because yeah... maybe newsprint is okay for some books. Maybe the generic shit that some of the publishers pump out doesn't need all that detail in their piss poor coloring. I'm curious as hell. Oh, and they got a new logo. I'll be honest, I didn't have the old one committed to memory.
