FF Gets TV Time
According to Newsarama, there will be television ads for Fantastic Four comics and toys around the time the movie comes out.
This seems mostly like Toy Biz money is going into it, so hopefully it won't break any banks. I think the kid comics are a good choice for advertising, as no amount of advertising is going to convince the average adult to buy anything comic-related. We've got to bring in the next generation of readers. Hopefully there'll be so many of them that their buying power will dictate everything and horrify us old fans.

I can't wait to hear that ad copy:
"Sold in exclusive, hard-to-find shops! One might even be in your state!"

I'm going to have so much fun writing about comics-and-advertising again this weekend, with this and other articles popping up on the subject all of a sudden.
Well, that, and being sad that I can't make it to Brooklyn.
I mean, I won't have fun being sad.
You know what I meant.
"Sold in exclusive, hard-to-find shops! One might even be in your state!"
Ha.
Yeah, that's pretty much the same reaction I had when I saw the news, too, Tom.
I mean, these things are printing about, what, 30,000 copies of these books?
And then advertising them to millions?
I think an important step has been skipped over.
