Broccoli International Editor Samantha Yamanaka told ICv2 about plans for 2008 including an American version of Cosmode and two new Disgaea releases. Cosmode is the biggest costume play magazine in Japan with several international versions, but no English one up to now.  The American version will have a hardcover format, but will still contain articles in a magazine-like format.

Broccoli met with fans at Anime Expo to find out what readers would like to see in an American Cosmode. 'They wanted tips from the Japanese cosplayers,' said Yamanaka, 'because they want that kind of input and construction tips, because you can't find those online.  We're going to make the other half (of the book) American.  We're in talks with Cosplay.com who will help us with the pictures, and we're also going to put together how to do things for cosplayers who have never done it before.'

Current plans put the price point at $19.99 with quarterly releases starting with volume one in February.

Yamanka also confirmed plans for World of Disgaea 2, a combination art book/strategy guide and one Disgaea novel in spring 2008.
