SuBLime Releases First Volume of the Yaoi Manga, "The World's Greatest Love"
VIZ MEDIA’S GLOBAL YAOI IMPRINT SUBLIME LAUNCHES ACCLAIMED MANGA SERIES THE WORLD’S GREATEST FIRST LOVE
Savor One Of Yaoi’s Most Popular Series About A Handsome Young Man Who Rekindles A Long Lost Love With An Old Flame
San Francisco, CA – SuBLime, the global yaoi manga imprint of leading North American manga publisher VIZ Media, announces its first print release of 2015 with the debut of THE WORLD'S GREATEST FIRST LOVE, now available.

When Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly thrilled to learn his new boss is an old flame. Ritsu's determined to leave all that in the past—but how can he when his boss is just as determined that they have a future? In the series’ opening volume, tired of accusations that family connections got him his current position, Ritsu Onodera quits his job as an editor at his father's company and transfers to Marukawa Publishing. Once there, he is assigned to the shojo manga editorial department – something he has no interest in and no experience with! Having sworn he'd never fall in love again, the last thing he wants to do is work on love stories. To make matters worse, it turns out that his overbearing boss, Masamune Takano, is actually his first love from high school!

Long-time friend of the show, Harvey and Eisner Award nominee, and guest since our inception in 2000 (!), artist and writer Steve Conley has contributed to numerous comic titles, both printed and on-line.

His latest endeavor, Bloop, is available for purchase from his web store and free to read online.
Eisner Award-winning Don Rosa can hardly be mentioned without evoking images of Walt Disney's Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and the rest of the Duck family.

In 1993, Usagi made the jump to color at Mirage Publishing, and moved to Dark Horse in 1996, where it remains to this day. Nearly 30 years of Usagi Yojimbo have seen print in book, TV, and digital formats.
Thom Zahler is a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. His early professional credits included lettering gigs for Marvel's Crimson Dynamo, Claypool's Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and DC Comics' Looney Tunes. His self-published comic, Love and Capes, has recently been released through IDW, You can find his latest work writing and penciling IDW's My Little Pony and My Little Pony: Friends Forever series, and new series, Long Distance, will be available from IDW this summer.
"These four guys are not only fan-favorites, they're some of our favorites as well," said Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "These gentlemen bring great, accessible work for kids ages 3 through 103, and the crowds love them all."

THE ULTIMATE TRUE-CRIME STORY RETURNS
‘GREEN RIVER KILLER’ STRIKES AGAIN IN PAPERBACK
MILWAUKIE, OR—This October, experience the story of one of America’s most notorious killers as Green River Killer heads to paperback for the first time.
Throughout the 1980s, the highest priority of Seattle-area police was the apprehension of the Green River Killer, the man responsible for the murders of dozens of women. In 1990, with the body count numbering at least forty-eight, the case was put in the hands of a single detective, Tom Jensen. After twenty years, when the killer was finally captured with the help of DNA technology, Jensen spent 180 days interviewing Gary Leon Ridgway in an effort to learn his most closely held secrets—an epic confrontation with evil that proved as disturbing and surreal as can be imagined.
Written by Jensen’s own son, acclaimed entertainment writer Jeff Jensen, Green River Killer: A True Detective Story presents the ultimate insider’s account of America’s most prolific serial killer.
Sure to appeal to fans of True Detective, Green River Killer features a story by Tomorrowland writer Jeff Jensen and gorgeous art by Jonathan Case and is priced at an affordable $19.99. Preorder today from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, or your local comic shop.

“Disturbingly true and refreshingly original . . . My gut was wrenched and I loved every second of it.”—Damon Lindelof (Lost)
“Jeff Jensen’s journalistic eye for detail and Jonathan Case’s exquisitely paced visual storytelling combine to make a true-crime epic.”—Brian K. Vaughan (Saga)
