Sure, comic book movies are thriving. But that's a whole different thing. My oldest sister goes to comic book movies, but she hasn't read a single comic book in her life and probably never will. Just because comic book movies thrive doesn't mean the comic books will too. They are generally two separate fields that don't have much to do with each other. Especially now that comic book movies have become mainstream. And Comic Cons are for the rabids. That's not a good barometer to determine success. Lots of rabid swifties. That doesn't mean she is still going strong. Heck, there are a ton of rabid Dragon Ball Z fans and most of the population has no clue what that is.
