My favourite of the licenses is no doubt Dogs by Shirow Mina, one of my favourites for it’s awesome artistic style. I never really thought of being a title that’d be picked up here but I’m certainly happy it was! The Kieli novel license was also a pleasant surprise as I really enjoyed the first volume of the manga and was interested in the books the manga was originally based off.
Other Comic Con notables was a DelRey official annoucement for Shaenon Garrity’s upcoming CLAMP in America book which will include information, history, interviews and illustrations based on CLAMP’s success and influence over here in North America. Another book to look forward to!
