manga in wal-mart

in: manga

Tokyopop is going to sell manga in wal-mart, the mainstreaming of manga is complete. Shawn Fumo comments on manga marketing vs the marvel marketing for the Hulk, I had no idea that there was also manga in Stop and Shop supermarkets.

    Have you read the Marvel Mangaverse series yet? I think it’s really good, adding a different spin to a lot of characters whose story lines haven’t changed in decades. I mean, there’s only so many times we can hear about Frank Castle’s loss and seeking his revenge as The Punisher, but The Punisher as a geisha? That’s different.

    I’ve steered clear of the marvel mangaverse so far, but today I happened to be submitting a bunch of ILLs over at the public library, so I requested it too!
    I’ll check it out, anything that portrays the punisher as a geisha sounds interesting to me.
    Thanks!
