[Review] Kodansha Samplers from AX 2024

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Usually I would not review samplers, however I came to the realization that not everyone knows that big publishers now offer free samples of upcoming works online for people to read. Similar to webcomics, where you can read the first chapter (sometimes up to 3 or 5 chapters) for free, publishers and distributors, like Kodansha and VIZ media, now …

[Review] Ace’s Story (The Manga)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This post should have gone out a while ago… but it’s been a busy summer so I hope you all can forgive me. Long time fans of One Piece are probably well aware of Ace, Luffy and Sabo’s brother, who consumed the Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit that gave him the powers to create, control, and transform into …

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend (16-18 August 2024), I attended the Queen City Anime Convention in Charlotte, NC. I had never been to this event before, though I had heard about it from vendors at a few events in the past year.

[Review] Under the Oak Tree (Advance Reader Copy)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Anime Expo this year was amazing, as I discussed already in an early post! While there, I stopped by one of the booths at the exhibit hall where—for some reason—an employee gifted me an ARC of the print comic Under the Oak Tree set to release in early September of this year. For those not familiar, an ARC, or …

[First Impressions] Delico’s Nursery

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I love vampire stories, but I only love a certain type of vampire, one that is regal and opulent. The kind that preferably lives in a huge castle or mansion, wearing clothes of nobility, and having a dignified air about them. A classic depiction, certainly, but one that has stood the test of time for a reason. So, it was …

[Commentary] Media Literacy & Iizo Zine, Issue 01

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting To be honest with you all, I really enjoy zines. If our blog ever gets to the point where our team decides to get a booth at a convention, I’d likely create and print a zine to distribute at the event. They’re fun and easy to make, and just something I enjoy reading. A zine, in case you do …
