The Marvel CEO gave money to Trump's veteran's charity and has been getting a lot of flak for it.

Comic book writers and enthusiasts tend to hate Trump and anything remotely conservative.

There was a thread a few days back about the campaign for a gay Captain America. The writer said it was letting the kids who read the comics down.

But it looks like most comic book readers nowadays are adults. Kids don't have the money.

And teens seem to be more interested in video games than in comic books. But the movie industry can't get much out of video games. The characters and plots tend to be pretty slight. So Hollywood keeps recycling old comic books as if people still cared.

Plus, I think teenaged graphic novel/animation obsessives tend to like the Japanese stuff more than what their fathers or grandfathers were reading decades back.

Lots of games have great story lines. The Witcher series is good, though they seem to be inspired by a Polish fantasy novel series.
