Good point about Vassalord perhaps not being suited to (straight) men's taste....seriously, I will be sad when TP announces they've canceled this series (because I've doomed it by talking about it here, right?) And I've already picked up REAL (was a very good comic but I don't have a lot to say about it, will leave that to the folks who like to cover manly manga more than I do) and am itching to pick up Cowa. Have you been lucky enough to have gotten an advance copy of the Devil Blues? I'm skipping Gantz (it isn't my thing) but otherwise July has been quite rich. hi Deb!

Awesome, I'm kinda stoked that you got so much enjoyment out of this kooky bishonen vampire story -- heck, it sounds like you had way more fun reading it thanI did! ;-) You know what I think it is with those other reviewers of Vassalord who didn't like it? They're guys. And somehow the charms of a pair of bishie boys with bedroom eyes bickering, making out and fighting for no good reason just flies over their heads. Go figure! ;-) If you want more joy, July is just chock full of awesomeness in the new manga department. I just can't keep up. Me and the Devil Blues by Akira Hiramoto. Real by Takehiko Inoue. Gantz by Hiroya Oku. And heck, even Cowa!, a return to the sillier side of Akira Toriyama -- too much damn good stuff in one month. Pick up any of those and you. will. not. be. sorry. Worth buying even without a 20% off sale. Hehe!

Right now there are only two or three volumes of this series...so not a big hit into TP's other publishing plans. you mean, how many volumes is TP going to publish of Vassalord instead of, say, BECK?
