It’s been reported that Diamond has laid off three technical staffers: “Dave Bowen (Director of Digital Distribution), Jeff Dillon (Web Development Manager), and Lev Schneider (Programmer).” Bowen’s presence on that report, raised the question of what’s up with Diamond Digital, so I asked iVerse’s Michael Murphy, since iVerse is the engine Diamond Digital runs on.

We’ve always had a soft spot for weird medical comics, from the plentiful manga genre —Tezuka’s Black Jack and Akihito’s The Ray—to Seifert and Ketner’s Witch Doctor. And this seems to fit right in.
