Tokyo Faust!
Tom Spurgeon at Comicreporter.com pointed out Brian Lee O'Malley's Livejournal entry on the comic book creator contract being offered by Tokyo Pop as part of something called a 'Manga Pilot Program' which allows new artists to submit work:
The contract for this fun deal is horrible, draconian, ridiculous. It's like Satan wrote it.

I left Gaithersburg, MD at 5:15 a.m., by six a.m. I was already on
highway 95 South headed out of Springfield, the so-called
"mixing bowl" where cars usually crowd up against

snail-paced metal boxes with fuming commuters inside.
Midlothian, Virginia, Looks like rough weather ahead.

Turned out to be mostly show.
