 Once upon a time there was a giant pleasure cruise ship called the Entertainment Industry. It sailed along quite happily for many years when suddenly, totally without warning of any sort or anything, it was sunk by pirates. As it went down, all the various entertainment media jumped in the only lifeboat the ship had, and so it was that in short

Are comics actually bigger in the chick demographic than video games? Disregarding manga, because that stuff is shit. Not that I have any evidence either way. Except there being more pictures on the internets of chicks with vintage game controllers covering their bits than pictures of said chicks covering up with issues of The Killing Joke. Although that would be awesome.

Anyway. Anything that leads to more of Robert Downey Jr. playing a rich, genius version of himself with lots of explosions and a cute redhead (In fact, two cute readheads in 2. I wonder if they'll keep it up for 3? Guess we have to wait for, Captain America, Avengers and Thor (which could be amazing in itself, good or bad) first to find out. That could be a while.. sigh) on the big screen is good, says I.

Not just entertainment; all culture is ouroborosic (that should be a word) to some extent, I think.

Comics folks who disregard manga "because it's shit" are dinosaurs disregarding rodents because they're small.
