Comic Shop Responds About Its 'Buy American' Ad
posted on 2012-01-18 23:56 EST
"A Comic Shop," a retailer in Florida, responded on Tuesday that the content of its "Buy American" ad is a joke not intended to criticize manga reading. The ad offers one #1 comic from DC Comics' The New 52 line to anyone who trades in the first volume of any manga.
A Comic Shop's owner is planning to sell the traded manga for US$1 each. He also stated that he is "not at all anti-manga or a super patriot," and he has hosted various "anime events" at the shop. The owner also revealed that the "Robama" idea was inspired by the Steampunk Palin comic, which depicts U.S. President Barack Obama as a cyborg.
DC Comics funded 75% of the ad through a co-op advertising campaign. The ad's background image appears on the cover of the Justice League #5 comic.

*cums all over the floor*BTW, Jo. The Cbox is a bit more lively again, so we suspended the closure for a while, to see how that turns out.
Alrighty, I'll try to stop by more often.

Ah! Gism, my good man, how are you? I'm glad that we are on the same page about this issue. Do you have any other matters that you would like to point out while I am present?

A crazy person wouldn't be referring to his friend as invisible but as an actual person.
I try to distract myself and go back to it later. Lately, I have been distracting myself by running. When I'm in the right mindset, I try to think it over. There's nothing worse than brooding over something that's upsetting, you only add oil to the fire.
