Funny considering that Japan doesn't sell alot of capes and cowls (more like armored suits and monsters). Niche markets ARE the Majors! Marvel's got mutants, while DC has capes and cowls on a 'grander scale'.<br /><br />We're merely the commercials in between--- for now.Rodbuddahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186250176674135232.post-3102818879198600822009-05-13T10:39:00.000-04:002009-05-13T10:39:00.000-04:00I don't think the big American comic publishers ar...I don't think the big American comic publishers are willing to make too many changes, if any at all, in their publishing practices. One doesn't have to holding onto more than 50 percent of the monthly orders — the other should at roughly 25 percent of monthly orders but is content in becoming a niche in a niche market.<br /><br />That said, another manga publisher will likely mosey along the American market and scoop up new readers in the coveted teen and early 20 demographics.John Astonhttp://www.oldetownecomix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186250176674135232.post-75323334892848409502009-05-13T00:03:00.000-04:002009-05-13T00:03:00.000-04:00I'm with you completely on that one.

Remember, the majority of Japans' output is based on original thought rather than 'follow the leader'--- I think things are about to get really exciting!rodbuddahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186250176674135232.post-69468440573335864692009-05-12T09:34:00.000-04:002009-05-12T09:34:00.000-04:00Well said.
