* another reader-directed interview with Marvel's Tom Brevoort mentions that they've actually spoken with the Fu Manchu rights holders about maybe eventually doing something with those Master Of Kung Fu comics collection-wise, although there's nothing concrete or timely to report.
* finally, I don't do that well with keeping up with multiple-part interviews -- frankly, I hate 'em 90 percent of the time -- but it looks like Fantagraphics is celebrating its manga line in part by re-running Matt Thorn's Moto Hagio interview from the Journal a few years back. So you might want to track that if you're a fan or just inquisitive. I remember that being a good piece.
