Manga Mavericks

Anime Madness is starting up over at Rightstuf again, and this year I'm in it to win it! Sure, I lost miserably in the years before, but as they always say the third time's the charm, right? That said, I'm still mulling over my choices. I mean, Evangelion vs. One-Punch Man? A match-up like that could go either way! How can I possibly quantify and compare otakus obsessive love for two equally and insanely popular anime franchises? Well, leave that for me to worry about, because it's time for another episode of Manga Mavericks! Join your titular mavericks, Colton and Sid, as we go over the latest New York Times Best Selling Manga List, unintentionally patronize Seven Seas, promote the new Skip Beat! anime Indiegogo campaign, answer a Q&A about preferring omnibuses to single volumes, and rave about why you really need to watch Naoki Urasawa's manga documentary series, "Urasawa Naoki no Manben," asap! Plus, we say hello to last week's surprise Jump Start, Bye-Bye Humanity! Did we welcome it with open arms,

Welcome to the third installment of the Manga Mavericks podcast! And before you ask, no, we still don't have a catchphrase. Alas, it seems some things just aren't meant to be. We've made peace with that. Well, at least Colton has. Sid's kept up at night thinking about it. It haunts his dreams. But hey, who needs sleep when there's such a wide array of manga news and tidbits to discuss! Join your titular mavericks, Colton and Sid, as we give a rundown of the latest New York Times Best Selling Manga and BookScan's Top 20 Graphic Novels lists, talk about the impending endings of a few pretty prominent series, and discuss Weekly Shonen Jump's latest Jump Start, Kimetsu no Yaiba! Plus, Colton convinced Sid to finally read Sket Dance, and they chat about the first couple of volumes, the noticeable similarities it shares with Gintama, and how shockingly sad a certain someone's backstory was! Who would've ever guessed a character with such a silly quirk would have such a devastating reason for it? Who are we talking

Hello, we're the Manga Mavericks! We remember it so you don't have too! Wait, no, that's the Nostalgia Critic. Let's try this again. Welcome to the Manga Mavericks podcast, where bad comics bur...no, darn it, that's Linkara! Um, let me think about this for a second. Hmm...okay, got one! Greetings fanboys and fangirls! We're...huh? You're telling me that's taken too?! Gaaahhhh!!! Why is it so frigging hard to come up with an original, memorable catchphrase? Well, we might not have a fancy-schmancy catchphrase, but we still got plenty of manga news to talk about! Join your titular mavericks, Colton and Sid, as we discuss the New York Times' Best Selling Manga List, run down the newest manga releases coming out in February, and pointlessly debate whether Viz will run any new Jump Starts because we recorded a week too early! Also, why we think romantic comedies suck, why Nisekoi doesn't suck anymore, and what our favorite and least favorite currently running Shonen Jump series are! I bet you'll never guess wha

Join Life Lessons: The Gintama Manga Cast's Colton and All-Comic's manga reviewer Siddharth for the inaugural episode of All-Comics' new manga podcast, Manga Mavericks! While there are plenty of great series in the world of manga ripe for discussion, we're operating a little differently than most manga podcasts out there. Instead of a review show where we tackle a new series each episode or a selection of series through every episode, we're going to focus on manga as both a medium and an industry. Every week we'll chat about what's new in the world of manga, the state of the industry, and have discussion topics on various aspects of the manga experience. We'll also comment a bit on what we're currently reading, and new releases stateside worth checking out. In this first episode, we decided to let everyone get to know us as fans of manga and share our histories with the medium, as well as some of our favorite series. Listen on and become nostalgic for the days of the mid-aughts, back when Shonen Jump was st
