On the other hand...so many people who wanted this book were 'comic tourists' as well as traditional collectors.
Now what will be really cool is to be able to get that comic autographed by the artists and / or writer of that comic like some did yesterday.
Thankfully tho, this comic won't break the comic industry the same way that Superman may have done in the 90's.

Yeah but it wasn't just Superman dieing that killed comic books. Him coming back as four different people, even the mullet-corpse, was just too much.
Also, Marvel screwed up too by having spider-man be just a clone of the real peter parker, who was still in a lab, and then broke out.
And the X-Men got all inbred with each other.

Euuhh...yeah...thanks for reminding me,
Oh trust me, I agree that Superman wasn't the only thing that nearly killed comics in the 90s.
It was a rather big nail not to mention that there were so many other factors and so many gimmicks that the companies tried also.
I think and I know I am not 100% right, one thing that is partially saving the industry now is the plethora of comic movies that have been released in the past few years especially since now producers have finally been able to use CGI to really tell their stories...
BTW...stay away from The Spirit.

I understand but I disagree.
Hopefully comic companies remeber the perils of oversaturation.
