I'd like to see a repost of the Heroic Archetypes series. There were a couple of them - Aspirational and Trickster, I think - that had mysteriously vanished from your blog by the time I found it, so I never got to see them. I would have liked to.
Also, not really a suggestion, just a question: You know that book about the decline of Disney that you talked about so much last year? Did that ever get finished and published? It's something else I would have liked to see (and maybe own), but I never heard anything about it after a certain point.
I'll try have the decline and fall of Devil Mouse done by the end of March. My knee replacement set me back further than I'd planned. Also, I thought Iger was going to name his replacement by the end last year. Except he didn't. Dana Walden shot herself in the foot during the election.
I recall that way back years ago you made a comment in one of your classic anime reviews that you initially thought the 90’s import craze was a flash in the pan because you had seen other really good foreign media categories fail to catch on and stick in the American market. Could you be so kind as to share what other sorts of mediums US kids have been missing out on that could have been great? Am I at least correct in my assumption that one of them is bande dessinée?
Awesome. Maybe a list of your favorite Brazilian and Franco-Belgian series could be a good idea for a post if you ever lose steam on old American-indie lines.
Thank you for your fantastic site. I’d like to see more reviews of sci fi and fantasy books. I’ve found some great ones you’ve covered over the years, such as the Lyonesse series.
Naturally.

Does Arkhaven plan to publish any of the Levon books?
Sorry, publishing is not my department. I truthfully have no way to know.

I'll need to repost that whole series here.

That and Brazilian comics

Here's hoping you get to Mage, A Distant Soul, and Starstruck.
And stay well. Prayers for the fam.
