Giant anthology, reads back to front

Every manga fan has at one time or another heaved a heavy sigh over the fact that America lacks Japan’s phone–book–sized weekly comics anthologies. While we’re not quite there yet, Shonen Jump #0, a free preview which introduced this series, still qualifies as a dream come true. Just imagine: Some of the original Shonen Jump’s most popular features in an incredibly affordable package. (This 52–page sampler is free, with each subsequent issue coming in at 250 pages for $4.95!)

Doomsayers will declare this format won’t work in America, because Marvel and DC haven’t been able to make it work, but whatever sales resistance there might be from current manga fans is sure to melt away when they realize Shonen Jump will be the only place they can get their monthly dose of Dragonball Z—not to mention hot newcomers like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Yu Hakusho.
