: Good Question. People usually assume that
: Batman is the template for any masked hero
: without superpowers. But a little research
: would show that hes influenced from Doc
: Savage, Scarlett Pimpernel, The Spider and
: Zorro. Most Batman comics (forget the movie
: Batman Begins ) would show that the day
: Bruce's parents were shot, they were shot
: after coming out of theatre that played The
: Mask Of Zorrro . Here's My Question To You
: All: If Bendis and Maleev were to display a
: young Marc, walking out of a theatre that
: played a Zorro flick, would you think that
: would silence the nay sayers?

: from what i understand the comics industry
: makes the bulk of their profits of tpbs and
: hcs due to mass market giants like barnes
: and nobles buying them in bulk, so trades
: are where it's at for publishers as well.

: Yeah. I don't begrudge anyone for waiting
: for
: the trades. I've been a Moon Knight fan
: since the 80's, but I had to wait 20 years
: to afford all the back issues because I
: never had the money to collect them.
:
: Sales do make up a huge part of a book's
: justification for print, but I imagine
: Marvel pays as much attention to the sales
: of their trades as they do their monthlies.
: It's obvious Quesada and company are fans of
: the character and are aware of his following
: (and the money to be made off said
: following) or they wouldn't be pushing MK so
: hard. If you want (or have) to wait for the
: TPBs to come out, more power to you (just
: keep buying them so Marvel can see they are
: selling ^_^) I'm just happy the character
: hasn't been put on Marvel's Jack Monroe
: Memorial List of Characters We Don't Think
: Anyone Will Miss So Let's Kill Them.

: there are merits to both sides of the
: debate,
: but honestly it comes down to your own
: personal budget, whether you can afford to
: pick up the singles every month or not is a
: matter of personal finances, not someone
: else's opinion on if you're a "true
: fan" of the character.

: As fellow MK disciples I would like to
: present
: this debate to you all.
: In looking for the TPB release dates I came
: across a forum where an MK fan acused those
: who wait for the TPBs to come out (and DO
: NOT buy single issues) of not being true MK
: fans. Im guilty of waiting for collected
: editions for the recent arks and dont feel
: bad about it HOWEVER I clearly see the point
: that the run can be canceled if we wait on
: the TPB. Who thinks that passing on singles
: and going for the collected editions will
: kill the Bendis run in 2011?
