On The Shelf: July 3, 2013

The upside to being staff at a con and never having a moment to visit the dealer’s room, is that you don’t end up spending much money. It doesn’t mean I’m rolling in dollar bills, alas, but I am always grateful to have a little budget wiggle room when new release day comes around.

My must-have buy this week is the first volume of Vertical Inc‘s new series, Wolfsmund. This past weekend at Animaritime, Ed Chavez spoke about the artist’s work as assistant to both the creators of Emma and Berserk, as well as showed us some interior artwork. This is a book I definitely need to have.

    Just a heads-up about the Ruby/Sapphire volume, there’s one panel of visual censorship and a few pages of changed/added dialogue and sound effects. Ruby slamming into the wall wasn’t due to the thunder but due to his dad throwing him, and Norman didn’t drop Ruby due to lightning but actually punched him. It’s an understandable edit and they probably did the best they could do (though I do think they went a bit overboard changing so much for it, I think just the panel would’ve been good enough) but just thought I’d let you know, since I always like to know of changes and in case it took me out of the story for a moment like it did me and my friends.
