I was extremely surprised to see an ad from DC comics in this publication. Obviously, the tagline indicates that this is “the new DC” and Ronin was a serious attempt by that publisher to step outside it’s comfort zone, format- and audience-wise. I was unaware, however, that they had deigned to advertise in a magazine like Heavy Metal.
