Magazine Proposal

Name of the Magazine: Excelsior! - The Ultimate Source of Comic Book News!

Concept: This magazine is different from existing magazines such as Wizard or any other entertainment magazines in that it provides news about comic books and any other related things that could tie into the comic book such as movies, toys, or video games. This magazine is also unique because it provides a guide of what newcomers should read to get acquainted to the comic book genre and it also allows existing readers to provide what they think are "essential" stories to the newcomers as well.

Readers: The readers are usually people who's ages ranges from 10 - 45 years of age, and it should appeal to both men and women of all ethnicity who have interest in the comic book medium. This magazine strives to appeal to readers of all income level. The main competitors is mainly Wizard magazine, and this comic tries to improve on what Wizard is doing such as making the prices lower than the magazine, provide better price guides, better articles, and provide faster updates.

The five advertisers I think would reach the readers would have to be DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Warner Brothers, Paramount Studios, and Titan Books. The first five articles that would be included in this magazine would be an article on the upcoming Thor movie, an interview with Geoff Johns, comic book guides, and an article on toys. The cover on the premier issue will feature The Thing from Fantastic Four, a photo of the new Thor movie, the title, articles, and the date on the bottom right corner. I believe that this comic would be a success mainly because comic book readers want to know what is happening in the industry and what books they should be reading to get acquainted with the medium.
