Last night I watched "Gelato (Ice Cream)", the sixth episode of the first season of the "Gunslinger Girl" anime. GG is one of the best Japanese animated series I have seen so far: slow-paced when it comes to plot, but amazingly atmosphere-intensive. On the 29th of December last year, I bought a few used comics albums, including the three volumes of "Le Monde d'Edena" by Moebius that were translated into Finnish as "Moebius: Jean Giraudin kootut fantasiat" ...
I bought myself some Gold Digger last week, after a two year hiatus from the comic. I've no idea how I managed to leave it so long. Gold Digger is an extraordinarily long-running series by Fred Perry, published by Antarctic Press, who also publish Ninja High School, among other titles. Originally appearing as serialized, 4-page short story segments in the pages of Mangazine #11-14 in 1992, it featured the high-adventure exploratory hijinks of Gina Diggers and her adopted were-cheetah ...
My AnimeB diary has been at a halt for an exceptionally long time. While this does coincide with an exceptionally quiet period on the discussion board, I do not see a strong connection between these two things.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=32566 After Flashpoint, their latest 'event' ends, 52 DC series will be starting over at #1, featuring new costume designs and a more streamlined and accessible continuity. I'm more of a DC guy than a Marvel guy, and while I know a lot of fans are gonna be skeptical of this, I can't help but think it's a good idea. One of the biggest problems that both DC AND Marvel have been facing is inaccessibility. Only longtime ...
