DC's Paul Levitz on Manga.
Manga will be the door in for them [teenage female readers] because it's the material they're most familiar to them, whether it's genuine manga import licensed titles coming from Japan or Korea, or original manga created here by artists and writers who are influenced by it. We just did Deadboy Detectives, Jill's second book in that kind of experimental style. The first one was very successful. It's too soon to tell where we are on this one. You'll see more and more work being created in that format. Three or five years out you'll see a new generation of artists and writers who want to work in that style and create for that audience. That's when we'll have an enormous growth opportunity. You'll see material that takes the passion manga has engendered and take it up to the next level.
