Megaton launch

From the creators of TOXIC and The Official Ben 10 Magazine comes Megaton - a new lifestyle magazine for kids aged 8-12!

According to distributors COMAG: Packed with the latest video game reviews and characters, as well as exclusive Cartoon Network comic strips, brain-scratching puzzles and amazing competitions, Megaton is on sale every four weeks.

Each issue of Megaton is bursting with 100 pages of cool content and includes fantastic multiple paper-based gifts to collect, from sticker sheets and posters to 3D card models and trading cards, all guaranteed to keep children entertained for hours!

“Megaton is the only magazine in the children’s market that offers 100 pages of pure gaming and comic content,” said SkyJack Publishing’s Managing Director, Matt Yeo. “We’ve created a truly exciting magazine that offers kids all of their favourite characters and brands in a unique and exciting format, and it’s one that also offers parents real value for money.”

“The addition of officially licensed Cartoon Network comic strips is fantastic news for us and the readers,” he continues, “as it will bring children back to the magazine time and again to read more about the TV shows they regularly want to watch.”

Megaton # 1 includes a free Tatsunoko vs Capcom A4 sticker sheet (featuring 30 stickers), a double-sided LEGO Indiana Jones 2/Bakugan Brawlers A1 poster and an A4 card model sheet for kids to make a cool character from the hit Cartoon Network TV show, The Secret Saturdays!

Megaton magazine is also supported by an exciting interactive website, which launches 25 February.  Readers can go online to find games, videos, reviews, competitions and more at: www.megaton.co.uk.

COMAG is advising retailers to display Megaton prominently within the Comics & Teenage sector, alongside titles such as TOXIC, BeanMAX, Dandy Xtreme and Pokémon World.
