Arcadia Ronin will be at the MCM which is this weekend already, squeee! She is the lord and master of a webcomic called Totem Chronicles, with a kicking girl protagonist and magic and stuff. It’s cool.

Her story in Leek and Sushi is a modern fairytale with trolls and pretty things and a pot of gold. Good fun and with a sweet message. Check out the previews!

And catch her this weekend. Who’s going?

You know Kate Holden, right? Also known as Darth Mongoose, she hands
out helpful advice to her fellow comic creators from her sage’s cave
in Cumbria. Well, she probably has some kind of house, but the sage on
a mountain image is cooler when there’s a cave.

Anyway. You can read her webcomic Fan Dan Go every week at
www.fandangocomic.com you should do so, it’s pretty great. She
also has some comics in print as one of the members of Indie Manga, the senshi team masquerading as a UK manga circle. Indie Manga will be represented at the MCM Expo, of course.

Her manga cupcake is about climbing. Two girls live in a dark world
where the cloud cover blocks the sun from view, and one of them
decided to climb an indomitable black tower to get above the cloud
layer and see the sun. Her friend is worried it will give her cancer,
but she goes anyway! Good fun, have a look at the preview under the
fold.

Hey, and, don’t forget you can still pre-order Leek & Sushi, Manga
Cupcakes
and get it very soon indeed!

New book coming up!

The Pariah’s Urn is a fantasy adventure with arcane magic and scoundrellous thieves. It’s currently in production, and it’s hard to tell you anything about when it might be out, but I didn’t think it was too early to let you have a peek at YdAo’s great-looking art and solid fantasy world.

Check it out: The Pariah’s Urn.
