DAY 2 at DREAMCON was INSANE. We usually like to do the collages with big boxes, but with nearly 100 photos, we had to do the smaller boxes, sadly shrinking the lovely faces of our fans who came out in droves to support our black-owned, diverse manga brand. That said, BIG SHOUT to @WhytManga (co-founder and APPLE BLACK creator), staffer @Saturday_Editor , @jramamanga (UNDERGROUND) & Tony Dawkins (TITAN KING) for successfully meeting fans, selling our books & brand, and posing for photos. We're SOLD OUT of CLOCK STRIKER, SOUL BEAT, SATURDAY WARS, but do have a few dozen copies of APPLE BLACK, UNDERGROUND, and TITAN KING. HURRY to booth 1211 to meet these folks & get your copies! Also, TRY the PLAY TEST of our Saturday AM: BATTLE MANGA videogame Last day at @dreamconvention

DAY 1 of DREAMCON was a blast for SATURDAY AM! And what made it special was when, later in the day, we had our FIRST PUBLIC PLAY TEST for our upcoming indie videogame, Saturday AM: BATTLE MANGA! Out of the 14 characters, this small beta has FOUR FIGHTERS from some of our most popular series, CLOCK STRIKER, APPLE BLACK, SOUL BEAT, and HAMMER. While there were some technical difficulties initially, the game debuted to fans and as this small sampling of photos shows -- the fans had a BLAST! More to come!
