But there are! Of all the books I mentioned before only Black Summer can be considered any where near a Superhero book. Once you step away from the Marvel and DC (and probably Image and Top Cow as well), you'll find comics of all kinds. I mean, sure, those companies are smaller than DC/Marvel but they are still publishing stories that reach beyond the Superhero genre.

I also think it will get better too. Especially with so many comic book movies/TV shows coming out. Shows/movies like I Am Legend, Preacher, and Scott Pilgrim help get the word out that comics aren't all about guys with exaggerated muscles wearing tights. Also, influential comic book authors and novelists are aware that you can do so much more with comic, have stated so, and have written amazing non-superhero related comics.

It's gotta happen, especially since the tradition fanboy is dying out. If these companies want to make money, they need to appeal to people in fresh new ways.

You have a point, which encourages me a little.

If these companies want to make money, they need to appeal to people in fresh new ways.

I think that is already happening to some degree, thankfully, because companies like Dark Horse have begun distributing manga as well. So here's hoping it continues in the right direction.
