Chris Butcher and Brigid Alverson report from New York Comic Con that Viz Media will begin accepting submissions for original graphic novels.
The word comes from Marc Weidenbaum, Viz’s vice president of magazines and editor-in-chief of Shonen Jump.
Brigid writes: “This is actually rather remarkable, since Viz is the American subsidiary of the Japanese publishers Shueisha and Shogakukan, but I guess it shows where the market is going.”
Expect more details later in the weekend.
