[NEW] Cloverfield Manga? This comic has a Tagruato ship in it Just posted this on CloverfieldClues: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2008/01/cloverfield-magna.html
Kadokawa is a big, Japanese comic-book (manga) publisher. If you go to the Kadokawa Shoten homepage and watch the flash header, there is an advertisement for a comic called 'KISHIN'. Notice the similar style to 1-18-08? Wait...it gets better. Notice something strange in the ad for that comic? The ship has the Tagruato logo on it!!!?!?!
Is this some kind of Cloverfield comic, or another Heroes-style product placement? I don't speak Japanese, so I'll need a little help here...

117 on the ship too.
Perhaps it's the one that gets sunk.
Hopefully get some translation stuff sorted out soon.
Nice find!

You can actually see the first pages, and in the last one it says it's produced by JJ Abrams, Bad Robot writes part of the story and rights are reserved to Paramount Pictures. So there definitely is a connection.

Really need this story translated ... a few of those pics look like they could explain our most recent 01-18-08 pics.

I don't think that it is direct but it looks like Teddy and Jamie's story.
Just get the feeling looking at it.

Who wants to put money on whether or not the blurred out part of the wrecked ship pic on 1-18-08.com hides the number "117"?
