Using the magic of Google Analytics, I can reveal that movies definitely create enormous spikes of traffic on comics websites. Some of that will translate into sales, though I suspect many turn up just for the information too. So yes, I think source material is sought out.

Anyway I can remember back in the summer of 2003 when I saw the excellent X-Men 2 & the really boring Hulk film from Ang Lee,and from that moment on I began collecting Marvel & DC back issues & trade paperbacks. I've been an avid reader ever since.

I am looking forward to Thor aswell as Kick Ass, and I would love to start reading the comics. I am a big fsn of 2000ad, and even though I am 29, I am not afraid to take it out at work and read it like I did today! The problem is where to start. For instance, I will seek out Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1, but what about Iron Man and indeed Batman? I shall start with these two and hopefully some people can suggest to me what to go for...

That led to me reading a whole bunch of other Batman graphic novels and eventually a bunch of other titles. It opened up a whole new world for me and I love reading them now.
