Your Guide To Comic Books

*Please watch in high quality in order to read the subtitles*

This is a call for submissions for an online edited collection of essays about individuals’ relationships with videogame characters. These should all be from your personal experience. Please no blanket statements or wild speculation. Topics for essays might include game characters that cross mediums and appear in things like American comics and cartoons or Japanese anime and manga; games that feature characters from outside the gaming world, sexual desire for characters; identification with characters; videogame characters and race, class, or gender; or many other potential others. Essays need not be a specific length or take a specific form. I will accept (fan)fiction, (fan)art, photo essays, vids or other non-traditional mediums. Your writing also need not be overly academic. Some people use Theory-with-a-capital-T to process their everyday experiencesand some do not. I am interested in a range of ideas. If you do draw on others work, please cite it appropriately. For more information, see http://vgcidp.wetpaint.com . To submit, please e-mail your essay to vgcidp@gmail.com.

I’ve had a few subscribers request more information about how I get my comics shipped to me here in Japan. So I hope this is informative.

I hope to make a vlog soon about comics in general - what are some of my favorite books, etc. - and my time working at a comics store - I have a few fun stories.

This vlog is very comics-centric, so you might only be interested if you’re a comics fan like me.

Here is the website of the store that sends me my books:
http://www.comicgalleryonline.com/

I noticed they don’t have contact info, like an email address, visible on the site, so I’ll ask them if it’s ok to put it here and update this box after I hear back. I don’t know if they offer this service to just anyone (I’m special you see) but they’re friendly folks and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind getting questions via email.

Did you go see Watchmen?? Leave a spoiler-free comment if you did and let me know what you thought. It opens on March 28th here.

Thanks for watching!
