It’s still growing with new features being added almost daily, but check out the site’s hard launch and experience what everybody’s talking about. See top-tier critics R. Fiore and R.C. Harvey duke it out over 9 Chickweed Lane; Anne Ishii and Roland Kelts on the industry and aesthetics of manga; blogging by Shaenon Garrity; reviews of Wolverton’s Bible and Junko Mizuno’s latest; a critical dissection of Gilbert Hernandez’s erotic Birdland; and essays and columns by Jeet Heer, Kim Deitch, Donald Phelps.
