Still… waiting… for username and password for TCJ online… (what, do they snail-mail those things?)

The mainstream news sites have been abuzz with Marvel and Top Cow’s announcements of their intention to take their books online, but another publisher quietly entered digital comics publishing a couple of weeks ago… Radio Comix, specifically their adult imprint Sin Factory, now has a brand-spankin’ new subscription-based website which promises exclusive content and digital versions of out-of-print material from Radio’s deep catalogue of illustrated porn.  (Genus in particular is the longest-running adult comic that’s still being published.)

And over at Yaoi Press’ blog is news that the world BL publisher will be teaming up with NetComics to distribute their titles online as well.  Uhh… does anyone else see a trend here?  Is 2007… the year?

Mr. Chavez has the best analysis of the situation with Hachette thus far…

Oh, and live-action Nobita looks way too old. (Via ANS)

    Hey maybe the live action version will have that doujinshi illegal ending?! No wonder Nobita looks like a BBS poster from the Densha Otoko TV series.

    Oh no…

    OH NOOOOO!

    God, I can’t even imagine the kind of hell that would be Doraemon with Nobita stuttering for 20 straight minutes.
