JAPAN’S MANGA MAGAZINE: WHERE YOUR MANGA GETS STARTED!
(Anime Fest – Mirai Stage)
Almost every manga Dark Horse has published came from a Japanese magazine; this is also true of the other US manga publishers. These magazines are to manga in Japan what monthly comic books are to comics in the US—they’re the place readers get the story first, before it gets collected as a trade paperback. But since manga gets released in the US straight to trade paperback, we never get to see manga as the original Japanese readers do. Join Carl Horn as he gives fans a tour of the over 20 different Japanese magazines, including what some Dark Horse stories looked like when they were first published, what kind of ads ran in them, what the cover art was like, and more!
7:30 PM–9:30 PM:

Plus, get a first look at The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance before anyone else. The conversations will leave you sleeping with the lights on and texting your friends about the surprises along the way!
