Other News

I don’t know if you caught this but Gail Simone and Stjepan Šejić joked about a Wonder Woman x Lara Croft crossover on twitter, so Šejić went ahead and drew some panels for fun on his Tumblr. They will make you smile. ^_^

The British Museum is launching one of the largest manga exhibits ever. I’m told tickets are selling out quickly, so if you want to see it, get in early…and let us know how it is.

ANN has news that I’ve actually been waiting on for about ten years. Ogata Megumi, voice of Tenoh Haruka in Sailor Moon and Evangelion‘s Shinji, among many others is establishing her own agency for voice talent. She’s been talkking about doing this since the early 2000s, so I wish her the best of luck.

Alex, aka The Aficianodo, wrote about “Bloom Into You, what it says about LGBTQIA+ representation in fiction, and why that resonated with me” on her blog. It’s worth a read!
