At Koenji Station, Tengo boarded the Chuo Line inbound rapid-service train. The car was empty. He had nothing planned that day. Wherever he went and whatever he did (or didn’t do) was entirely up to him. It was ten o’clock on a windless summer morning, and the sun was beating down. The train passed Shinjuku, Yotsuya, Ochanomizu, and arrived at Tokyo Central Station, the end of the line. Everyone got off, and Tengo followed suit. Then he sat on a bench and gave some thought to where he should go. “I can go anywhere I decide to,” he told himself. “It looks as if it’s going to be a hot day.

Image Press Release

Like Image Comics, UK’s Thought Bubble festival celebrates sequential art in all its forms and genres. Now the leading creator-owned publisher is joining forces…

It was the biggest launch in DC Comics’ history. Justice League #1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, with midnight parties across the country and acres of publicity.

More and more, brands are gaining traction by embracing qualities like honesty, kindness, and simply having a sense of humor about themselves. It’s something a lot of viewers of ads by Domino’s,Old Spice, or Dos Equis may have noticed, but Luna summed it up succinctly.

“Today, brands are becoming more and more like humans,” Luna said. “They’re taking on more and more human-like traits.”
