Comic-Con International: San D - Del Rey Panel

By Chris Beveridge     July 23, 2004

Information courtesy of Ed Chavez as posted in the forums while at Comic Con:

Dallas Middaugh and the editor of Del Rey, Betsy Mitchell, basically spent their hour going over their titles and showing cover art. Nothing new from them. They have made a commitment to not editting titles from now on. They also said that they will no longer have age rating stickers on Negima starting volume 3. They even admitted a mistake with Negima in regards to deciding to edit intially as well as not including color pages in volume 1 (they promised to include color pages in all titles from now on). And despite the request for faster releases they will be sticking with a quarterly schedule for 2005 (Tsubasa was special but it will be quarterly in 05 as well).

While nothing concrete was announced they did express interest in:

  • Special editions: ie for Tsubasa, xxxHolic.
  • Having original manga based on their own Del Rey novels.
  • Translating novels (someone mentioned that they did some ages ago).

    At the end of the discussion they made note that they have been approved to sign up 6 more titles for 2005.
