Welcome to the last comics store update of the year, and boy is it a big one! We have 82 new comics to keep you busy over the festive period. Plus we have some rather exciting news, we finally have a Manga publisher on board. You’ve probably heard of TOKYOPOP, they were apparently responsible for introducing the term manga to the English language. They have a catalogue of over 3,000 books and have worked on creating manga versions of major brands like Star Trek all the way through to SpongeBob SquarePants.
So without further ado, let’s look at this week’s highlights.
From TOKYOPOP, who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS, of course! Find out what’s been happening since the Ghostbusters last saved New York City as Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston and the rest of the gang make their first manga appearance!
Based on one of the most popular fantasy films of all time, Legends of The Dark Crystal is a manga prequel set hundreds of years before the events of the film, when the gentle Gelflings and wise Mystics are still thriving. And so, unfortunately, are the evil Skeksis…
Halloween has always been and always will be about one thing…getting the best CANDY. Some fiendish friends excel at tricks if they don’t get the right treats. Follow what happens in I Luv Halloween; when these gremlins receive a frickin’ apple at their first house of the night, they plan deadly revenge on the offending fruit-favouring old-timer.
Going where no manga has gone before, check out Star Trek: The Manga which is set in the original series.
The highlight from Marvel this week must be Tron: Original Movie Adaptation. A stunning new visualization of the original TRON film. Learn the secrets of the Tron Universe. Discover its cast of dynamic characters. Witness the events of the legendary film in an all-new comic event.
Finally, from BOOM! comes an adaption of one of my favourite books, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I believe someone made a film about it too…

Very nice new addition to the store for the last update of the year Pete, I’m sure adding TokyoPop will please a lot of people.
Much more importantly though, congratulations on the one year anniversary of the PlayStation Digital Comics store!
For my money it has by far been the best addition to PSN yet, which my wallet can attest to lol. Here’s to another great year of comic goodness on PSN and thanks to all the comics team for the hard work. 
Top of my shopping list today, Eternal Descent #5, Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom #3 and The Indifference Engine #2. From issue one I think Cy’s writing in The Indifference Engine is even better than in the Cancertown.

Many thanks Ravenblade86! It’s been a fun and exhausting year. Talking of Cancertown, I believe the new version with audio is nearly ready. Happy Christmas!

Will these ever be available to PS3 owners? I would have spent hundreds by now but I never plan on owning a PSP.

I know, we all know. All the files are HD ready too… However trying to open new content stores on other devices appears to be incredibly complex and, unfortuanetely out of the team’s hands. We still hope that one day it will happen.

Ooh, Tokyopop is a good scoop! Will they be starting to publish more mangas from Japan as well (maybe things like Fruits Basket?)
Posted on 22 December, 2010 at 3:58 pm by Pete Stott
yes plenty from Japan, but I don’t have any specifics at the moment

Just noticed we have no 2000AD this week Pete. Just a delay because of the Christmas break?
Posted on 22 December, 2010 at 3:59 pm by Pete Stott
oh, I don’t know. Pauline is already on her break so I have no one to ask. It’s just me and a can of Special Brew (who’s not talking much)

Tokyopop is a pretty good catch, although I’d be more interested to see some of their more Japanese offerings.
