Developing: Tokyopop Moves Three Titles From Their Exclusives List

Three people this morning including Dirk Deppey at TCJ.com have pointed out to me via e-mail this Comics Journal Message Board thread where readers bouncing back and forth between Tokyopop's forthcoming titles lists have noticed that Dragon Head, King City and Heaven!! have all been moved from the forthcoming on-line exclusives list.

Dragon Head in particular had been cited as a title with a formidable customer base in previous iterations and something of a growing presence in key Direct Market comics shops, including The Beguiling, whose Chris Butcher has been the most eloquent critic of Tokyopop's plan. This still leaves a combination of ongoing series and new titles in the Tokyopop program, so one would guess that the principles behind many of the criticisms still apply.
