Breakout: Global Manga [from the 8 Aug charts]

filed under , 12 August 2010, 04:12 by

The second-to-last sort code introduced into the database is Global Manga.

For the most part this is OEL, non-manga but that is marketed to the newbs as manga and in the same trim size, shelved alongside the ‘real’ manga and oh-gods-more-cat-sorta-manga-I-think-I’m-gonna-hurl…

Ah yes, but in the process I also rediscovered the Tokyopop Original German Manga titles, some Taiwanese stuff, Viz’s 1 World Manga, DrMaster’s manhua, plus offerings from Dark Horse, Seven Seas, Yen Press, Scholastic, HNA Amulet, HarperCollins — you know, there’s a lot of stuff here.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)

where I start my browsing day...

...and one source I trust for reviews, reports, and opinion on manga specifically. [disclaimer: I'm a contributor there]
