Bryan Lee O’Malley vs Tokyopop

Bryan Lee O’Malley’s livejournal is a fantastic thing to check up on. The guy behind Scott Pilgrim has all sorts of insights to publishing, and it’s fun to read his page commentaries and on the progress of the film adpatation. By Edgar Wright no less! If you’re not following it, you’re a damn fool.

Long story short, if Bryan says something, you gotta at least give it a look, that’s why I’m posting this. Not exactly “webcomic” related, but this is for anyone interested in publishing.

I am opposed to the publisher Tokyopop.

They have this new Manga Pilot program. It’s a thing where you come up with a great idea, you toil over it and create a 24-36 page comic, they put it online with a bunch of other submissions, and “the people” decide who wins. Or, y’know, whatever.

The contract for this fun deal is horrible, draconian, ridiculous. It’s like Satan wrote it. I can’t believe Tokyopop is getting away with this in broad daylight.
