Ad Hawk

In my lead contribution to this week's Best Shots @ Newsarama, I was given a major reason to bitch when all I wanted to do was praise the exceptional Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan #1. This book was off the hook (and not in a good way) with an embarrassingly excessive ad count. Every other page in the book was an advertisement, and the ads ended up exceeding the pages of actual content. Marvel isn't exactly near and dear to my heart with some of their business decisions anyway, but I'm calling bullshit when they charge $3.50 per issue. Piss poor. It was too bad, too, because artist Seth Fisher provided some funky-ass visuals to an old school Japanese monster mash.
