An Evil Manga

AnimeNews Network is reporting that starting with the February issue of Weekly Shonen Champion Magazine Serizawa’s Biohazard Marhawa Desire manga will begin serialization.  This title has ties to CAPCOM’s Biohazard/Resident Evil games.  Since this is related to Resident Evil and there being several fans of this franchise in the Western market, this should be a shoe-in for be translated for the English speaking audience.  Late next year or in 2013 I wouldn’t be surprised to see this being offered to purchase for your library’s partons and the your library itself.

Resident Evil Playing League

Libraries that have Trading Card Gamers will want to pass this along to them.  Resident Evil: Alliance TCG came out in January and proved to be a hit, with an expansion set planned.  Because of this, Bandai is planning to release a league play program.  Think of the Magic The Gathering & Yu-Gi-Oh league play tournaments.  Tell your patrons to ask their local hobby shops if they plan on taking part of this program.  Link on over to ICv2’s site for the article.
