Emerje: As long as it's family and Hot Topic-friendly, I assume it's a go.

It's good to see TokyoPop releasing manga titles again.

Hey, at least they haven't tricked any new unsuspecting young comic artists into working with them again. I hope writing a sequel to a 20+ year old movie is the most work they ever get.

seriously, if Tokyopop rises from the grave it needs to do so without that asshat involved in it. it needs to come back with someone who respects the people buying their product, the people who make the product, and the product itself helming it instead of some arrogant jerkwad. |

Disney owns the property outright, and while Tim would probably demand input on a sequel or TV series, print media is off his radar. |

Other websites said in the title of their news that it was a sequel and only said it was a comic in the full article.Making people get excited for a new movie and disappoined when they found out the truth.They didn't even say it was a manga.Before reading this article,I tought it was an american comic.

I don't usually wish failure on anything, but if Tokyopop were to quietly go back into its grave and Stu Levy were never heard from again, that would be lovely.

DJ Milky (pseudonym of Tokyopop founder Stu Levy) is writing the story...
Hmmmm...

Sounds lame; why doesn't zero visit some other holidaytowns, like Guy Fawkes-town or Kwanza-town?

Otherwise, Tim Burton would okay ANYTHING that mentions TNBX, if Disney remembers to credit his name on ownership. Few directors have so built their careers on a movie they didn't direct. My reaction, okay, instead of Japan doing Western-superhero manga they don't culturally understand, their Disney obsession is going to do a This-Is-Halloween manga they don't culturally understand? (Insert usual discussion of "How an utterly baffled Japan tries to improvise an explanation of the western Halloween holiday.") The answer is that the story is going to be "Zero in Christmas Town", so we instead deal with Japan's interpretation of Christmas and Santa--And the movie joke that Zero's red nose was supposed to be Rudolph's, which is pretty much the only other thing the Japanese know about Santa.

None of that information on the Japanese perspective on Christmas is remotely relevant, because this is yet another vanity project by the very not Japanese Stu Levy using the Tokyopop brand and the "hip with the kids" pseudonym of "DJ Milky" to sucker those who don't know any better. Again. |

Seriously, TP would be better without Stu. Their business decisions TP made, especially with the OEL manga rights issues, is 1 of the reasons they temporarily went out of business. Since they haven't seemed to have learned from that, I think they will go out of business again in the next few years.

There already was a sequel; and we don't need Tokyopop working on any more "sequels". I mean, after all this time how many people accept the Labyrinth sequels? Or the Dark Crystal prequel?
Tokyopop should have stayed dead. |
