While reading through the latest issue of Batman, Kotakuite David came across a two-page comic book style ad for the Nintendo Wii, featuring a black cat trying desperately to get the Wiimote away from the hands of his dangerously hallucinating owner before all hell breaks loose and he launches into an ad pitch. Don't want to spoil anything for you, but the cat doesn't win and the boy manifests his latent mutant (yeah I know, mutants are Marvel) power, allowing him to manifest logos in mid air while changing the background yellow. Since this is the DC Universe, he'd go by the name of Wii Lad, and whenever he meets a stereotypical old Irish gentleman the wacky name confusion will have you holding your sides in laughter.

Hit the jump for full page scans, but beware their mysterious click to view larger image powers.

It was the last time anyone saw the cat alive.

The only problem I see with advertising comic book style is that any message they are trying to convey enters my brain only to be automatically converted into demonstrations on the effectiveness of flakey delicious crust and real fruit filling as weapons against crime. Michael Fahey

Thanks again David!
