Go! Comi announced a new title by Elfquest creator Wendy Pini at New York Comic con this year. You can read more about the announcement in other Manga Recon coverage, on the Mangacast blog, or in Brigid’s interview with Wendy Pini.
The way that Go! Comi introduced details about the title was through a series of PowerPoint slides. It’s an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story Masque of the Red Death. I read that in high school, I found it interesting enough.
Next slide: It’s got yaoi. I read a lot of yaoi anyway, so… Next slide: It’s set in the future. My interest level dropped. I haven’t finished watching the Gankutsuou anime yet – but is it really necessary to set old stories in the future?
As they announced more details about the title (robot mechanics!) I made the chart below. And then I made Ed and fellow Ninja Consultant Noah draw their own charts.
I really don’t like color comics. I’ll basically read anything in black and white. Ed likes robots. Noah has actually read a good part of Elfquest, so of the three of us, he’s oddly the most interested in reading Masque of the Red Death.
