Good Old Mark
March 24th, 2010 | comics talk, people I know
Mark Millar does love playing the publicity game. There’s a level of promotion that I just can’t face, but that Mark embraces like a Scotsman on a freshly-deepfried Mars bar. That said, I have to admit, I wish I’d thought of and could afford his latest stunt:
That is indeed Mark and Steve McNiven’s new comics serial NEMESIS on a billboard in Times Square.
I dunno that I would have chosen Times Square, and you could nitpick about the tagline if you felt like it… but that is a fine stunt, and it makes me smile.
EDITED TO ADD: yes, I know it’s a pshop job. Couldn’t help but play along.

It was the photo of Barack Obama on the other billboard that tipped me off.
