I will, I will. I just need to let this one cook for a month. Plus there's some new things on this list! I didn't know that Deathlok was in development!

:mad:

Since when did movies factor into the reporting of comic book revenues?

Garr is continuing a debate he and I had on another site, where I mentioned that comic book sales didn't compare to movie revenue or book revenue, as I never saw one on the best sellers list...and per normal Garrism, he took the liberty to mix my words into something he could beat me at:)

Show me some stats or just general public opinion that actual comic book sales, even as an industry, rival the revenues of the movie or book industry and then I will start listening...a movie based on a comic book cannot be counted as a comic book sale, and I think that is where you keep wanting to take this debate.

Comic book characters do make up a huge portion of the entertainment industry, obviously. But comic books themselves...a huge portion of the whole entertainment industry??? I just don't see it...
