June Manga Club: Meet Dark Maze Studios!

Greetings, Otakus! Can you believe June starts next week? Summer is almost here and I know many of you have plans to do some pretty fantastic things this summer (writing and illustrating an original manga, for example). Maybe you have a great idea but don't know how to get started? Or maybe you've just always wondered how comics and movies are made?

Wonder no more. Director/filmmaker Ed Glaser and artist/writer Alex Mitchell of Dark Maze Studios will be coming to our June meeting to talk about how they make their animated webcomic, Space Ninja (http://www.darkmaze.com/spaceninja/index.html) and answer your questions about creating a webcomic of your own.

What: Urbana Otaku Manga Club Meets Dark Maze Studios
When: Friday, June 3 from 4-5 p.m.
Where: Lewis Auditorium

(Ed also directed the video game movie Press Start, featuring our very own Lauren Chambers!)

We'll also be talking a little more about the manga summer reading program, which will help you earn manga money to spend on awesome prizes at our mini-convention in July. More details on the convention will be coming soon, but it's never too early to start working on your cosplay costume, talent show skit, or manga trivia contest knowledge.

And, as always, we'll have pizza and a Pocky raffle. See you next week!
