Pre-lunch linkblogging: new (old) Takaya titles, Dr. Horrible, and an X fic challenge
First: via MangaBlog, ICv2 has a first look at the cover art for Tokyopop's versions of Takaya-sensei's Phantom Dream (Gen'ei Musou) and Tsubasa: Those With Wings (Tsubasa wo Motsu Mono). IMO the most interesting bit of info in the (short) article is "[Tokyopop plans] to publish the Tsubasa series, which appeared in six tankoubon volumes in Japan, in three double-size volumes. Tsubasa Vol.1 has 380 pages and will retail for $14.99." Good move.
The cover art for the two series looks completely different, so I wonder if there's any chance the Tsubasa cover was drawn more recently. The artwork in Phantom Dream, FWIW, is pretty different from even the early Fruits Basket art, esp. in vol. 1. And I like its cover design quite a lot, so yay!
And yes, I'm still amused and a little annoyed at how many sites/bloggers are STILL reacting like Phantom Dream is a new announcement.

Second: via Whedonesque (and my own memory), Act I of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is live today. I think the girl is coming over tonight with her husband, and she's a Whedon fan, so I wonder if they'll want to see it...
***
And third, via velvetpaws, an X fic challenge: x2009. I don't usually do challenges (see also: I've been working on my 30_kisses claim for three years or so*), but this sounds like it could be fun.
* I have an entry due today. Is it finished? HA.
