ICv2 posted news this morning that Tokyopop will be putting out an OEL manga based on the popular television series, CSI: Las Vegas. The release date is planned for September 2009 and the book will be called CSI: Interns. It follows a group of young interns working at the Las Vegas crime lab, under the instruction of the series’ Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows, when one of their friends ends up being a body on the morgue table.
I’m a big CSI: Las Vegas nut so I feel more than slightly obligated, and happy, to spread the word here. Who cares if it’s another semi-desperate pop-culture milking scheme such as the likes of their Star Trek and Battlestar Galatica releases? It’s fun none the less! The art will be done by Steven Cummings, the artist behind Tokyopop’s Patheon High, and I look forward to seeing his rendition of the lab and its canon characters. This kind of potential entertainment helps to slightly take the edge off my saddness that William Peterson (Gil Grissom)’s role on the show will soon be coming to an end. Well now atleast we’ll have manga, Gil! Hopefully much like some of the wonderfully entertaining CSI doujin I’ve seen from Japan over the years, scarring RL slash aside.
