Other than that, care to add any milestones to our news page? I have added similar items in the past, and have been planning on adding some of this stuff, once I got around to looking it up (and, on a related note, could you post a list of articles that had been assessed as A-Class?

Apparently, Susuwatari was recently sent to AfD and kept, but was not listed on WP:ANIME/D and didn't get the project's notice. With only three comments in the whole discussion, I don't think there was enough input to form a consensus. The article is based entirely on observations of two Studio Ghibli films, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away and has no third-party sources. I'm tempted to renominate it do to the lack of discussion (it should have been relisted, but it wasn't), but I know that there is a knee-jerk reaction to having two nomination's so close together. — Farix ( t | c) 14:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Just a heads-up, recently several users have attempted to change or remove the demographic (kodomo) on the article Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu. The latest removal even cited WP:SYNTH!

I've just created List of Haibane Renmei episodes, and I'd like some help finding reliable sources for some of the info. It's all covered on the ANN encyclopedia, of course, but I don't know where any of that is coming from, so I can't hunt it down. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Amazon, but that only helps for the English stuff.
So, specifically, I need sources for the Japanese air dates and DVD release dates. Maybe other stuff, too, Also, is my release-information too US-centric? And am I missing anything else?

The series' kanji is 銀魂 but Shueisha also writes it as ぎんたま on their site.

I have no access to the Viz's volumes from the series (I live in South America) so I tried checking in the Viz official site to confirm the English names. However, I found a little inconsistency the name from the protagonist's job. Here they are called "Odd Jobs Trio" and here "Yorozuya Trio". The articles are using "Odd Jobs Gin" which is apparently the name from Crunchyroll's subs for the anime. Tintor2 ( talk) 02:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

An anon user has been reverting Death Note to an old revision of some weeks ago removing lots of things [1] such as reception or other stuff.

I recently removed a fair-use image on Cowboy Bebop that I felt was excessive - it is a group shot of the main characters and thus duplicate to the cover image in the infobox - but the image was subsequently restored by another user who claims that it is a valid use of fair-use images because "The image & its caption allows for identification of the characters by name, & is thus a bridge between the text & reader that words cannot convey, it also shows illustrates the use of outdoor shots". I again removed the image, pointing out that it could be placed on the character list instead, and the same user again restored it with a similar edit summary.

After coming across the cover image for Bamboo Blade, I noticed that it isn't very much in the quality department. I've looked around, but have not been able to come up with a clean image of the Japanese cover. The image on Amazon Japan has one of those "wrappers" on it that make the image unusable. So are there any other sites that are known for their high quality images of covers? If all else fails, I've brought up the topic of replacing it with the English language cover on the article's talk page, which I have very easy access to. — Farix ( t | c) 02:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Spinning off from the above discussion, image renaming was recently re-enabled for admins, which means I'm probably going to go forward with a project I've been wanting to do for a while now - looking through a random assortment of images within our scope, it quickly becomes obvious that there is no real rhyme or reason to the names images are uploaded under. This has always bugged me, and now I'd like to do something about it. The simplest naming method would be along the lines of "Seriesname volume X" (manga/novels) or "Seriesname DVD X" (anime/film/etc, not so sure on it though) or "Character/Object (Seriesname)" (characters, objects, and other in-universe stuff)... Of course, though, I'm welcome to suggestions/recommendations in this regard, and I'd like to note this is something I wouldn't (probably) be actively pursuing; rather, it'd be a when-I-feel-like-it deal.
On a related note, I'll probably start deleting old revisions of FUR images in our scope where they exist and I run across them to help better comply with WP:NFCC. 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 21:48, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Ok, here will be the "recommended" naming scheme:
If an image already has a reasonably descriptive name, then it should not be changed to comply with this naming scheme. However, at a minimum, the image should contain the full series name.

Does anyone know of a reference, English or Japanese, that can be used to cite winners of the Akatsuka Award?

It's been announced that the appendix to Manga: The Complete Guide, reviews covering manga released between 2006 and April 2009, will be serialised on suvudu.com. While these reviews, appearing in a tertiary source, don't count much for notability, they do constitute the coveted "real-world coverage" of series.

Starting the discussion, we should have ages ago.
What defines a "historically significant" mangaka?
Who aside of "Tezuka" is a "historically significant"?
Do every single work of "historically significant" are notable per WP:BK #5?
To give everyone some background, this topic has come up in two recent prods and an AfD relating to Naoko Takeuchi ( Sailor Moon) were some editors are citing WP:BK #5 as a reason to keep an article on the four chapter PQ Angels which was never republished as a bound volume. They are claiming that Takeuchi is one such "historically significant" manga creator even though she has only had one hit series to her credit. — Farix ( t | c) 03:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
While we're on the subject here, how do these people (or rather, perhaps, the definition of "historically significant") fit in with our Top-importance rating for biography articles, and are there any such rated articles that anyone feels should be taken down to High or Mid? 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
While updating the image names for the Ranma ½ box sets, I noticed this naming scheme with the episode lists.
These are not the names of the seasons, or even of arcs. These are titles Viz Media gave to the DVD box sets when they were released. In fact, I'm pretty confident that the title of the first DVD set is a reference to the DVD format since the series had already been released on VHS several years before. — Farix ( t | c) 19:59, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

It seems Viz Media has restarted publication from the manga
Pokémon Adventures but this time in tankobon format so this would mean that
List of Pokémon Adventures chapters can have its English dates and Isbn.I checked at
Amazon and I found it said 2nd edition. Does this refer that the 1st edition was the
1999 edition from the manga published in a smaller format that wasn't tankobon. By the way, I can't find this edition from the manga in the Viz page. Nevermind, found it.

Because Tokyopop insists on being retarded in their website design, we currently have to reference catalog listings instead of individual item pages for release dates. Unfortunately, this means that as T-pop adds new items to their catalog, older items move around, making it necessary to periodically check references to make sure they are still completely relevant. This task would be much easier with a (possibly dated) template adding transcluding pages into one or more maintenance categories. However, I'm not really sure of the best way to approach this - should the template be added at the end of the ref (e.g. <ref>refs content{{Tokyopop ref|date}}</ref>
or <ref>refs content</ref>{{Tokyopop ref|date}}
), or should it be a wrapper for the ref (something like <ref>{{Tokyopop ref|letter|page|date}}</ref>
), or should it be something different? Any thoughts? 「

So, the main thing that kept me from ever working on a {{ Graphic novel list}} sublist feature to match {{ Japanese episode list/sublist}} was being unsure of what type of output would be preferred - something like what is used on List of Naruto manga volumes, or something more like List of Pokémon chapters#Pokémon The Electric Tale of Pikachu!? The Naruto style has some problems with it - not all series have volume titles, for one (in my experience, volume titles are actually used by a minority of series), and, unlike {{ Japanese episode list}}, {{Graphic novel list}} is explicitly designed to be used for lists of series of any language, not just Japanese. There is also a balancing issue - if a series is unlicensed in English, but still has volume titles *glances towards KochiKame*, the left side of the table has two cells per row whereas the right side has only one (and, where a licensed series only has English volume titles, the situation is reversed). On the other hand, the format used on the Naruto list has been in use since at least 2007, as memory serves, and has spread to several other volume lists in the time since then.
Perhaps a better way to approach the issue (yes, I just spent a paragraph presenting reasoning only to start over =D ), though, is first determining what information the condensed table should present: volume number and original and English release dates and ISBNs are a given, but what, if anything, else should also be presented: volume titles (c.f. above concerns)? Chapter numbers (think like someone saying "volume X contains chapters Y through Z - this was suggested for the Naruto list, and seemed to have approval, but was never done)?

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

For anyone who doesn't know, Mark Crilley, the author of Miki Falls, has been maintaining a YouTube channel for some time now where he posts how-to-draw tutorials (very informative IMHO). Earlier today, he posted the first in a series of videos talking about his newest series and working for Dark Horse Comics, and he stated that he will be answering questions in future videos as well. Seems to me like a good opportunity to get some easily sourceable material for relevant articles. 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Inuyasha is finally coming out with new episodes, finishing the story out. It's apparently called Inuyasha: The Final Act (犬夜叉 完結編, Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen). The Inuyasha page needs to be updated if anyone (with some good wiki experience) can do it.

Brian Alvey, Chairman "ComicMix is the most exciting thing I've ever been a part of," says Brian Alvey, Chairman of ComicMix LLC. "What's cooler than comics? It's the ideal combination of content, technology and community. The readers, the creator, the advertisers -- everybody benefits." Alvey designed the first TV Guide website in 1995 and was the senior technical member of the in-house team that built the first BusinessWeek site later that year. He continued designing and developing dozens of sites for companies including BusinessWeek, Intel, Capgemini, J.D. Edwards, Deloitte & Touche, VentureReporter.net and The McGraw-Hill Companies. The closest he came to drawing comic books was being the art director of three print magazines. He is the co-founder and President of Weblogs, Inc., the largest blog publishing company and home to such blogs as Engadget, Autoblog, Joystiq, That's Fit, TV Squad and Slashfood. Time Warner's AOL purchased Weblogs, Inc. in October 2005 and acquired his Blogsmith platform in November 2006. Blogsmith is the enterprise blogging platform which powers the Weblogs, Inc. network, TMZ and dozens of other blogs. He is currently a vice president for AOL and the chief architect of the new Netscape social news site. Mike Gold, President and Editor-in-Chief Mike Gold is a 30-year veteran of the comic book industry, having served as group editor and director of editorial development for DC Comics, founder and editorial director of First Comics Inc., and publisher of Classics Illustrated. Prior to ComicMix, Gold had been editorial director for ArrogantMGMS, creating intellectual properties and overseeing media and ancillary rights and packaging comic books published by numerous comic book imprints, including Image, Acclaim and IDW. He was a pioneer in the creation of an American market for graphic novels, and edited more than three-dozen graphic novels and anthologies, including the bestsellers The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters, The Joker: Stacked Deck, GrimJack: Killer Instinct, Jon Sable Freelance: Bloodtrail and American Flagg!. In addition, Gold has an extensive background in the media and in the youth social services field, having been a broadcaster and radio personality, director of communication and education for a major Chicago drug abuse prevention program, cofounder and director of communication of the National Runaway Switchboard, and creator, and managing editor of Video Action magazine. He has been an author and editor of, or contributor to, more than one dozen books, including How To Draw Those Bodacious Bad Babes of Comics and How To Draw Monsters for Comics (both with artist Frank McLaughlin) and The Desktop Publishing Bible. His work has appeared a wide range of newspapers and magazines, including The Chicago Tribune, The Realist and the British edition of MacUser magazine. Mr. Gold is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Comics Buyers' Guide Award as favorite editor and the Golden Apple Award for best comics limited series (The Longbow Hunters). He has also served as a consultant to the Organic Theater of Chicago (home to Dennis Franz, Joe Mantegna, Ray Bradbury and David Mamet), the Stratford Connecticut Shakespeare Festival Theater, to numerous political efforts, and to The Child Care Center of Stamford, an award-winning Head Start and early childhood education program, as well as a media coordinator for the Chicago Conspiracy Trial, the trial of the century of 1969 -- 1970. "I've always been attracted to new media," said Gold. "ComicMix will bring exciting, edgy graphic story-telling to a new generation, and help the present generations keep from being inundated by their comic collections. While offering a wide variety of great new comics and an onslaught of previously published stories, I think by offering readers a way to save storage space, ComicMix will be saving a lot of marriages." Glenn Hauman, Vice President, Operations and Production Manager Glenn Hauman fulfills one of the unspoken staffing requirements at a comics company. "Dwayne McDuffie at Milestone, Mike Richardson at Dark Horse, Denis Kitchen at Kitchen Sink, Jim Shooter at Marvel and Valiant-- every comics company needs to have at least one ridiculously tall guy on it. With me on board, we'll have somebody who can change light bulbs and play center for the inter-company baseball league." When he was in junior high school, Glenn took art lessons from John Buscema, the legendary (and quite tall) Marvel Comics artist. "I knew I could never draw like that that," he says. Instead, he found other ways to make comics his career, starting with working in a local comic shop in high school, and then the production department at DC Comics. He has fifteen years of experience in publishing, including work for Random House, Simon & Schuster, DC Comics and Apple Comics. Mr. Hauman has worked as a graphic designer, editor, photo retoucher, CD-ROM producer, story consultant for films, and radio show co-host of "Destinies - The Voice of Science Fiction" on WUSB 90.1 FM at SUNY/Stony Brook. His latest Star Trek e-book, Creative Couplings, has been getting press coverage for its portrayal of the first Klingon-Jewish wedding. In addition to Star Trek, he's written other licensed tie-in works for X-Men and Farscape, and urban fantasy for Baen Books. He has been a featured speaker on the future of publishing at numerous industry trade shows. He was a founder of internet pioneer companies BiblioBytes, Hell's Kitchen Systems (bought by Red Hat in 2000), and Lot Auctions. Most recently, Glenn has been working as a webmaster, assistant editor, and production manager for arrogantMGMS, a comics packing company now involved with ComicMix. Glenn manages their GrimJack.com, JonSable.com, MundensBar.com websites; he also runs the websites for comic book pros PeterDavid.net and BobGreenberger.com. "My career is the definition of varied, and the one constant is that I find myself doing something new that still draws on past experiences," Hauman said. "I can't imagine something that draws on all the things I've done and all the things I want to do more than ComicMix." |

User Dngnta has moved the Go Nagai article to Gō Nagai. As I understand Wikipedia:NAME, the name to be used in the title must be recognizable and easy to find, and should use the most common English-language name of the person. Go Nagai has never used "Gō", neither any of his published works in any part of the world have ever used the macron. I really doubt anyone would ever search for his pen-name with a macron on it. I want to undo this change but I have no experience in this type of revert and, more importantly, I want to know if my interpretation of Wikipedia:NAME is the correct one in this case.

I recently removed a fair-use image on Cowboy Bebop that I felt was excessive - it is a group shot of the main characters and thus duplicate to the cover image in the infobox - but the image was subsequently restored by another user who claims that it is a valid use of fair-use images because "The image & its caption allows for identification of the characters by name, & is thus a bridge between the text & reader that words cannot convey, it also shows illustrates the use of outdoor shots".

Spinning off from the above discussion, image renaming was recently re-enabled for admins, which means I'm probably going to go forward with a project I've been wanting to do for a while now - looking through a random assortment of images within our scope, it quickly becomes obvious that there is no real rhyme or reason to the names images are uploaded under. This has always bugged me, and now I'd like to do something about it. The simplest naming method would be along the lines of "Seriesname volume X" (manga/novels) or "Seriesname DVD X" (anime/film/etc, not so sure on it though) or "Character/Object (Seriesname)" (characters, objects, and other in-universe stuff)... Of course, though, I'm welcome to suggestions/recommendations in this regard, and I'd like to note this is something I wouldn't (probably) be actively pursuing; rather, it'd be a when-I-feel-like-it deal.
On a related note, I'll probably start deleting old revisions of FUR images in our scope where they exist and I run across them to help better comply with WP:NFCC. 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 21:48, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Ok, here will be the "recommended" naming scheme:
If an image already has a reasonably descriptive name, then it should not be changed to comply with this naming scheme. However, at a minimum, the image should contain the full series name.

Starting the discussion, we should have ages ago.
What defines a "historically significant" mangaka?
Who aside of "Tezuka" is a "historically significant"?
Do every single work of "historically significant" are notable per WP:BK #5?
To give everyone some background, this topic has come up in two recent prods and an AfD relating to Naoko Takeuchi ( Sailor Moon) were some editors are citing WP:BK #5 as a reason to keep an article on the four chapter PQ Angels which was never republished as a bound volume. They are claiming that Takeuchi is one such "historically significant" manga creator even though she has only had one hit series to her credit. — Farix ( t | c) 03:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
While we're on the subject here, how do these people (or rather, perhaps, the definition of "historically significant") fit in with our Top-importance rating for biography articles, and are there any such rated articles that anyone feels should be taken down to High or Mid? 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
While updating the image names for the Ranma ½ box sets, I noticed this naming scheme with the episode lists.
These are not the names of the seasons, or even of arcs. These are titles Viz Media gave to the DVD box sets when they were released. In fact, I'm pretty confident that the title of the first DVD set is a reference to the DVD format since the series had already been released on VHS several years before. — Farix ( t | c) 19:59, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

It seems Viz Media has restarted publication from the manga
Pokémon Adventures but this time in tankobon format so this would mean that
List of Pokémon Adventures chapters can have its English dates and Isbn.I checked at
Amazon and I found it said 2nd edition. Does this refer that the 1st edition was the
1999 edition from the manga published in a smaller format that wasn't tankobon. By the way, I can't find this edition from the manga in the Viz page. Nevermind, found it.

Because Tokyopop insists on being retarded in their website design, we currently have to reference catalog listings instead of individual item pages for release dates. Unfortunately, this means that as T-pop adds new items to their catalog, older items move around, making it necessary to periodically check references to make sure they are still completely relevant. This task would be much easier with a (possibly dated) template adding transcluding pages into one or more maintenance categories. However, I'm not really sure of the best way to approach this - should the template be added at the end of the ref (e.g. <ref>refs content{{Tokyopop ref|date}}</ref>
or <ref>refs content</ref>{{Tokyopop ref|date}}
), or should it be a wrapper for the ref (something like <ref>{{Tokyopop ref|letter|page|date}}</ref>
), or should it be something different? Any thoughts? 「

So, the main thing that kept me from ever working on a {{ Graphic novel list}} sublist feature to match {{ Japanese episode list/sublist}} was being unsure of what type of output would be preferred - something like what is used on List of Naruto manga volumes, or something more like List of Pokémon chapters#Pokémon The Electric Tale of Pikachu!? The Naruto style has some problems with it - not all series have volume titles, for one (in my experience, volume titles are actually used by a minority of series), and, unlike {{ Japanese episode list}}, {{Graphic novel list}} is explicitly designed to be used for lists of series of any language, not just Japanese. There is also a balancing issue - if a series is unlicensed in English, but still has volume titles *glances towards KochiKame*, the left side of the table has two cells per row whereas the right side has only one (and, where a licensed series only has English volume titles, the situation is reversed). On the other hand, the format used on the Naruto list has been in use since at least 2007, as memory serves, and has spread to several other volume lists in the time since then.
Perhaps a better way to approach the issue (yes, I just spent a paragraph presenting reasoning only to start over =D ), though, is first determining what information the condensed table should present: volume number and original and English release dates and ISBNs are a given, but what, if anything, else should also be presented: volume titles (c.f. above concerns)? Chapter numbers (think like someone saying "volume X contains chapters Y through Z - this was suggested for the Naruto list, and seemed to have approval, but was never done)?

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Brian Alvey, Chairman "ComicMix is the most exciting thing I've ever been a part of," says Brian Alvey, Chairman of ComicMix LLC. "What's cooler than comics? It's the ideal combination of content, technology and community. The readers, the creator, the advertisers -- everybody benefits." Alvey designed the first TV Guide website in 1995 and was the senior technical member of the in-house team that built the first BusinessWeek site later that year. He continued designing and developing dozens of sites for companies including BusinessWeek, Intel, Capgemini, J.D. Edwards, Deloitte & Touche, VentureReporter.net and The McGraw-Hill Companies. The closest he came to drawing comic books was being the art director of three print magazines. He is the co-founder and President of Weblogs, Inc., the largest blog publishing company and home to such blogs as Engadget, Autoblog, Joystiq, That's Fit, TV Squad and Slashfood. Time Warner's AOL purchased Weblogs, Inc. in October 2005 and acquired his Blogsmith platform in November 2006. Blogsmith is the enterprise blogging platform which powers the Weblogs, Inc. network, TMZ and dozens of other blogs. He is currently a vice president for AOL and the chief architect of the new Netscape social news site. Mike Gold, President and Editor-in-Chief Mike Gold is a 30-year veteran of the comic book industry, having served as group editor and director of editorial development for DC Comics, founder and editorial director of First Comics Inc., and publisher of Classics Illustrated. Prior to ComicMix, Gold had been editorial director for ArrogantMGMS, creating intellectual properties and overseeing media and ancillary rights and packaging comic books published by numerous comic book imprints, including Image, Acclaim and IDW. He was a pioneer in the creation of an American market for graphic novels, and edited more than three-dozen graphic novels and anthologies, including the bestsellers The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters, The Joker: Stacked Deck, GrimJack: Killer Instinct, Jon Sable Freelance: Bloodtrail and American Flagg!. In addition, Gold has an extensive background in the media and in the youth social services field, having been a broadcaster and radio personality, director of communication and education for a major Chicago drug abuse prevention program, cofounder and director of communication of the National Runaway Switchboard, and creator, and managing editor of Video Action magazine. He has been an author and editor of, or contributor to, more than one dozen books, including How To Draw Those Bodacious Bad Babes of Comics and How To Draw Monsters for Comics (both with artist Frank McLaughlin) and The Desktop Publishing Bible. His work has appeared a wide range of newspapers and magazines, including The Chicago Tribune, The Realist and the British edition of MacUser magazine. Mr. Gold is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Comics Buyers' Guide Award as favorite editor and the Golden Apple Award for best comics limited series (The Longbow Hunters). He has also served as a consultant to the Organic Theater of Chicago (home to Dennis Franz, Joe Mantegna, Ray Bradbury and David Mamet), the Stratford Connecticut Shakespeare Festival Theater, to numerous political efforts, and to The Child Care Center of Stamford, an award-winning Head Start and early childhood education program, as well as a media coordinator for the Chicago Conspiracy Trial, the trial of the century of 1969 -- 1970. "I've always been attracted to new media," said Gold. "ComicMix will bring exciting, edgy graphic story-telling to a new generation, and help the present generations keep from being inundated by their comic collections. While offering a wide variety of great new comics and an onslaught of previously published stories, I think by offering readers a way to save storage space, ComicMix will be saving a lot of marriages." Glenn Hauman, Vice President, Operations and Production Manager Glenn Hauman fulfills one of the unspoken staffing requirements at a comics company. "Dwayne McDuffie at Milestone, Mike Richardson at Dark Horse, Denis Kitchen at Kitchen Sink, Jim Shooter at Marvel and Valiant-- every comics company needs to have at least one ridiculously tall guy on it. With me on board, we'll have somebody who can change light bulbs and play center for the inter-company baseball league." When he was in junior high school, Glenn took art lessons from John Buscema, the legendary (and quite tall) Marvel Comics artist. "I knew I could never draw like that that," he says. Instead, he found other ways to make comics his career, starting with working in a local comic shop in high school, and then the production department at DC Comics. He has fifteen years of experience in publishing, including work for Random House, Simon & Schuster, DC Comics and Apple Comics. Mr. Hauman has worked as a graphic designer, editor, photo retoucher, CD-ROM producer, story consultant for films, and radio show co-host of "Destinies - The Voice of Science Fiction" on WUSB 90.1 FM at SUNY/Stony Brook. His latest Star Trek e-book, Creative Couplings, has been getting press coverage for its portrayal of the first Klingon-Jewish wedding. In addition to Star Trek, he's written other licensed tie-in works for X-Men and Farscape, and urban fantasy for Baen Books. He has been a featured speaker on the future of publishing at numerous industry trade shows. He was a founder of internet pioneer companies BiblioBytes, Hell's Kitchen Systems (bought by Red Hat in 2000), and Lot Auctions. Most recently, Glenn has been working as a webmaster, assistant editor, and production manager for arrogantMGMS, a comics packing company now involved with ComicMix. Glenn manages their GrimJack.com, JonSable.com, MundensBar.com websites; he also runs the websites for comic book pros PeterDavid.net and BobGreenberger.com. "My career is the definition of varied, and the one constant is that I find myself doing something new that still draws on past experiences," Hauman said. "I can't imagine something that draws on all the things I've done and all the things I want to do more than ComicMix." |
