Now that the long-awaited shojo manga version of Marvel's Uncanny X-Men has hit the bookstores, Del Rey Manga has announced several events for fans to meet and talk with the authors of X-Men: Misfits, Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier.
On Monday, August 24, 2009 at 2:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), Roman and Telgemeier will be chatting live with fans via a webcast on Suvudu.com. Fans are encouraged to send questions ahead of time via email to delreymanga@randomhouse.com.
