My Extra Sequential podcast co-host Mladen showed me these great photos of a series of posters at Shinjuku train station in Tokyo (the busiest station in the world). Simply awesome. The ads are for the manga Billy Bat which Mladen describes so eloquently in our most recent episode. Imagine if Marvel and DC could achieve something like this! Of course, in the West comics readership is a drop in the ocean compared to our Eastern fans, so publishers don’t have the advertising budget to compete with Nike and McDonalds. I guess we’ll have to let Hollywood be our mouthpiece for a little while longer, and us vocal fans too of course.
