I just wanted to drop a notice that Harknell and Onezumi, of the webcomic at www.Onezumi.com have now joined the staff of Katsucon 2008 as the comic guest coordinators. They will be handling all of the webcomic events at the con and making sure that all of the comic guests are able to have a successful con experience.

I'm working on updating the 2007 News Stories story when I can find time today (January through March is largely done at this point) so I doubt I'll get around to a news post. Be sure to check out the lastest reader blog posts though!

One of the stories I want to dig into more (but obviously haven't yet) is ongoing web versus comic book publisher saga, most recently visible in Marvel's decision to put some of its comics on the web. Here's a round-up of recent stories on Marvel DCU:

• Colleen Doran writes about signing up for the Marvel DCU service. It's not quite seamless yet.
• E Onlines takes a look at Marvel's DCU offering.
• CBR interviewed Marvel DCU publisher Dan Buckley.

The search-box on the top right of Comixpedia doesn't seem to be working right now. I've tried obvious words such as "webcomics" and "comics", and everything returns a nothing-found message.
