So I don't exist, now?

Because I know that I got into comics because of the movies. Most of the comic fans I know either got into comics or got back into comics because of the movies.

And dude, even if only 1% of movie viewers go towards comics, that is still a huge jump in comic sales. 10% sounds like a fantastic number, actually.

Yeah, I'd been collecting superhero comics (mix of Marvel and DC) since the mid 80s, and wandered off into indie land in the mid 90s. The movies brought me back to Marvel. Fuck DC, though.

God, so true. My husband will ask why I don't buy Batman or Superman or whatever and I'm like, fuck those guys.

Same here. I mean, I'd been pretty hardcore DC until the nu52 stripped everything I loved about the 'verse away and replaced it with grimdark and bad PR. But then Avengers came out and Marvel seemed to be actively trying to court female readers, and making their books accessible to new readers in general (I love the way Hawkeye opens--that one iconic shot from all the trailers. "This guy. It's about this guy from the movies. Caught up? Good."), and...yeah, they had good timing.

Same here. I saw The Avengers, needed more Natasha in my life, bought Black Widow: The Name of the Rose and loved it, and I've been buying comics semi-regularly (and/or getting my local library to buy them for me :-)) since then.
