As for the lack of manga offerings, I also would have loved to see a Del Rey or Go!Comi sampler. I'm very curious about the titles both companies announced at NYCC, and would have welcomed the chance to read a few preliminary chapters of <i>Pumpkin Scissors</i>, <i>Love Master A</i>, or <i>Hikkatsu</i>.

Instead, I clicked a button online and added the only title that appealed to me, Owly/Korgi, to my shopping cart at Mail Order Comics. I agree that the manga publishers really missed the boat this year. Del Rey and even Go!Comi could have put out samplers of their titles. The bigger publishers would have even given them away at bookstores, in addition to comicbook stores, to get more bang for their buck.
