Why Do Comic Book Readers Exist?

Why Do Comic Book Readers Exist?:

The main challenge of self publishers in the comic book industry is to understand that the art component is but a piece of the action. Currently, the perspective most self publishers, and even established ones have is a focus on products alone and not marketing. These publishers and creators believe that all that is required to sell a comic book is a product."

E! News - Captain America: Dead, Shmead


E! News - Captain America: Dead, Shmead:

"Disco is dead. Captain America is only dead-ish.
Despite being gunned down in the latest issue of his own comic book title, the red-white-and-blue-clad hero's planned big-screen adventure lives, a Marvel Studios spokesman said Wednesday.
'The movie is still going,' the rep said.
Screenwriter David Self (Road to Perdition) is on script duty. No other names have been announced. Ditto for a release date.
In comic book stores, meanwhile, Captain America's prospects looked bleak with Marvel's Captain America #25, on sale Wednesday, featuring the bloody demise of its iconic namesake.
Steve Rogers, the crimefighter's everyday alter ego, was felled by an unidentified sniper on his way into a courthouse and pronounced dead at a hospital of 'multiple gunshot wounds to the shoulder, chest and stomach,' according to 'assassination' coverage on Marvel Comics' Website.
Still, as is the way in a comic universe that saw the 1993 'death' of Superman, all is not lost for the hero, first introduced in 1941."

"NATION MOURNS LOSS OF CAPTAIN AMERICA

Captain America is dead.

Marvel Comics super-hero Captain America, published each decade since first appearing in 1941, was killed in Wednesday’s Captain America No. 25 and fans are in shock.

“I’m just reminiscing about the guy,” said 29-year-old fan Enrique Duran Jr. “I remember collecting some of these characters back in the 90’s and when 9/11 happened he was on the cover, saluting. Now that I find out he’s dead. Wow.”

Although Captain America, also known as Steve Rogers, has been declared dead before, Marvel representatives say this time they mean it. "

O Captain! My Captain! You're dead

O Captain! My Captain! You're dead:

"So long, Steve Rogers, we hardly knew ye.
Steve Rogers, of course, is the civilian identity of Captain America, the flag-wearing, shield-throwing superhero who, in the latest issue of his monthly comic, was seemingly killed by a sniper's bullet.
Captain America first appeared in comic books in 1941 when then-scrawny Rogers was injected with the 'super-soldier serum' to help fight the Nazis. Stan Lee brought him back in the 1960s, explaining his longevity by saying he had been cryogenically frozen in ice. The Captain has been a mainstay of the Marvel Comics universe since he thawed. "
