"most comic book movies suck simply because most comics suck. Do people still read comics?"
Well, depends on what you mean by comics. American comics rawk, and Manga kicks even more ass. Granted, there ARE terrible comics out there, but saying "most comics suck" is like saying all black people play basketball, or all women are ho's. It's a very mean-spirited generalization, and you're not only insulting comic READERs, but the AUTHORs.
"Do people still read comics?" Uhh...lessee, best-selling movies for the last couple years:
Spiderman
Spiderman2
X-Men
X2
Daredevil (the horror, the horror)
Elektra (see above)
Catwoman (....)
Gee, I wonder if they make these movies for comic-book fans? Or at least, to sell comics? So yes, people still read comics. Anyway, peace.
