Ugh, it boggles my mind how some of the most successful movie franchises out now are based off comic book heroes, yet the comic industry itself is slowly becoming a dinosaur. The popularity of these movies proves that there is a possibility for it to remain a successful industry, but not the way that it's going in right now. I'm a DC girl, so it's harder for me to judge Marvel in this as well, but the industry is killing itself by being a conservative 'boys only' club, that's trying to live and market itself in the past. They need new and younger creators with fresh ideas, they need to be inclusive and appealing to women and minorities, and stay loyal to older fans, they need to make their monthly issues more accessible and appealing, and focus more on marketing their tpbs. DC tried to remake itself by copying the Batman movies by de-aging its characters, and being more 'edgy', and fell flat on it's face.

Who knows. Maybe with the internet comics are becoming a thing of the past.

THe problem is, they have made attempts to branch out... and they tend to fail spectacularly.

Doesn't mean they were all necessarily good attempts, but there you go.

They are also fighting the very perception that you have, and many have, and isn't entirely untrue. So even when they come up with something that's decent, that doesnt' always mean anybody's going to look.
