Tokyopop Rising Stars Round Five
In terms of substance, this is really more of a quick hit, but I wanted to emphasize the news that the LA-based manga giant Tokyopop launches its fifth "Rising Stars" contest, because I think that effort has been an underexamined key to their wide-ranging success as a publishing company. Plus, these kinds of things have never worked all that well in American comic books, which says something, too.
