Last Gasp Acquires Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms

You may have noticed that ComiPress has been a bit "slow" in news reporting for the past few months...our chief news editor is currently tied up with other commitments, and won't be free for the next few months.

If you're interested in becoming a News Editor (that means you get to post stuff on our site!), please contact us for more details (and perhaps include a brief introduction of yourself).

*Previous experience or a good grasp of English is preferred, and keep in mind this is not a paid job.
