Labyrinth manga

[jeregenest]

So I'm looking at the comic blogs (I'm currently in a big comic kick and I've discovered I can learn continuity stuff from reading the blogs in 5 minutes thus not having to read the comics that really scare me) and in some coverage of some con that just happened I read:

"TOKYOPOP also plans to release a sequel manga to Labyrinth, which first hit the big screen in 1986, remained a fan favorite over the years and also served as an inspiration for MirrorMask. Its manga version will follow 13-year-old Toby as he journeys back to the Labyrinth to assume his role as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom. Manga writer Jake Forbes will write this series."

I must admit I'm interested. The Labyrinth has a certain importance in our house (though I'm no longer worried about peaseblossom trying to bargain away our kids to the Goblin King).

I also should go and figure out what MirrorMask is supposed to be about (something I've shown a remarkable reluctance to do given that I have been reading comic blogs). I'll be honest and admit I've been less than impressed with Gaiman's recent output. But I also would like to see a good fantasy film. Well except for Nightwatch, which may or may not have been good but was certainly fun to watch.

What comics blogs are you looking at? I need more ways to avoid doing actual work.

I basically started at the link list on vaklam's comic blog Noeticon (http://noeticon.blogspot.com) and spidered my way along.

Cool. Thanks.
If you ever need to know any continuity things, I'm pretty good in that department as well. I've removed most base motor function and social interaction portions of my brain and replaced them with stupid comics trivia storage.

MirrorMask is about a young girl who longs for a normal life, instead of the one she has as a part of a family of circus performers. When her mother falls ill, she find herself in a dream world. She must awaken the Light Queen to keep the world from being dominated by the Dark Queen. (Both Queens are, of course, played by the same actress who plays her mother.)

Where did you manage to see Nightwatch? I didn't think it was out yet.
