Nicholae Gurewitch, creator of The Perry Bible Fellowship, sat down for an interview with Associated Content to discuss his…
If a picture paints a thousand words, does digital video paint a million? One way to answer that is to check out CNET’s video coverage of last weekend’s WonderCon.

ICv2 reports that Tokyopop is releasing more "cine-manga" based on Disney properties – this time tying into the immensely popular ‘tween-oriented shows Hannah Montana and High School Musical.
