Check out more Monster Valley High at robotbully.com coming soon!
Granted, Marvel has been doing some pretty great ones (Spiderman 2, Iron Man) and some
lousy ones (Ghost Rider, Elektra)… DC has made some overhyped ones (Dark Knight)… so
it’s interesting to see the fate of something like comic books being battled out in Hollywood.
Comics are dying. It is print media, and with the digital generation, it is getting harder and
harder to make money when people can go online and get entertainment for free. Movies
don’t make it better, (why read when you can sit for 2 hours and have people turn the pages
for you?)
As a result, Comics have to adapt to survive. The webcomic is born, Marvel introduces
reading them online (for a small fee) and the natural progression to movies is made. Now,
when once it was “cool” to make fun of the kids hanging out in the comic shop, it is cool (at
least for the week the movie is hot) for lemming America to flood the stores, by some bat
gear, hulk shoes, and Iron Man books… and pretend to be in the know for a bit. [read more]

THE DANGER ZONE
Evolution Of Comics…
Evolution Of Comics…
By Timothy Danger
I’m just like the next avid comic reader. I am
always a little on edge when Hollywood
makes a comic book movie. I don’t overly
jump up and down when I hear about the
powers that be making a Justice League or
Avengers movie, I am always so afraid
someone is going to really jack it up.
