>One of the biggest factors in the sales decline, [owner of London, Ontario, Canada-based The Comic Book Collector Tim] Morris says, is the proliferation of needless, low-quality books the last few years from Marvel Comics especially. “Marvel Comics has been doing a bunch of crap for the last five years,” he said. So where there was once a single monthly title starring self-reflective mutant antihero Deadpool, there are now four. “Give me one good Deadpool book,” Morris said.
>There’s also a disconnect between the company’s comic universe and the cinematic one.
>“(Fixing) continuity would bring a lot of people back,” Morris added.
>He’ll have customers come in the store fresh from the multiplex who are confused because they don’t understand why the Hulk’s alter ego, Bruce Banner, is dead.
>And Spider-Man is Hispanic.
>And Thor is a woman.
