ghettoManga is all about comics, hipHop, news, art, and culture. in otherwords, anything i like or think is important can wind up within its pages. my intent is to comingle fans of hip hop, anime, comics, sports, movies, fine art, urban fashion and politics, etc... to promote my work, and the work of those i consider fresh.my mission is to focus on the positive aspects of these things whenever possible, and to avoid the whining and finger-pointing that turns me off to many other magazines and blogs. we all know that (fill in the name of your favorite whack rapper) sucks, but just imagine what would happen if you spent just as much energy promoting the work of (the extra-dope producer/emcee/fine artist/film maker/comics auteur that no one but you has ever heard of) as you have trying to make us stop buying whack stuff! as the saying goes "don't curse the darkness, turn on a light!"
on the ghettoManga blog, i promote comics that i think will matter to the audience i am after, so comics that appeal to hip hop fans or black people (or that SHOULD anyways) will be promoted and/or reviewed. i also routinely post news, reviews and trailers regarding film projects, hip hop videos and tracks, album reviews, political commentary, and lots of links to other blogs and news sources. if you're really lazy, you can sign up for the ghettoManga newsletter and i'll bring the news right TO ya!
ghettoManga is on mySpace and Blogger, because i welcome input and news from any and every source. so long as spreading the gospel of fly isht is your motive, we will get along famously!
ghettoManga is also available in print as ghettoManga Quarterly, a full color quarterly magazine with periodical anthology-style comics, articles, interviews, reviews, strips, etc. so if you want to have your comic run in gMQ, write articles or reviews, provide photography, or have your comic/art/movie/album featured or reviewed, get at me.
peace.
