It's baffling why there isn't more collaboration to get TV and movie viewers into the comics.
My comic store advertises during every episode of the flash and arrow and I've noticed more people since they've started doing it. I don't know if they advertise on walking dead or constantine since i don't watch those live.
I will say I got into comic books because of the movies. I always liked superheroes but not until I saw Thor was I motivated to check out comic books on my own. Plus I never had anyone in my life until I was in my '20s that read comics.
For me it was the arkham games that got me into comics.
Those are just physical copies sold right? I'm sure the number is much higher if you add in digital sales. Also you have to take into account a lot of people (including me) wait until trades come out to buy the books.
