Amazing Spider-Man #601

Mary Jane sets a date with Peter, but when he gets there she never shows up.

There's also a back-up story by Bendis and Quesada, where Jessica Jones tells Peter how she was there when he fought Sandman at their high school (from Amazing Spider-Man #4; it turns out she was the brown-haired girl next to Flash), and that it inspired her to become a superhero.

	Watching a movie does not equate to wanting to read a character's monthly adventures. That's the whole difference between the movie and comic mediums. Comics are a continous investment, which 'few' people want to or are even interested in committing themselves to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And yet, Quesada's own earlier sales successes prove your assertions WRONG, because LOTS of people DID commit themselves to quite a few Marvel titles, to the tune of sustained sales GROWTH that lasted for YEARS on many titles. Marvel is now failing EVEN BY THE RELATIVE STANDARDS OF COMICS, as measured by the standards set DURING QUESADA'S OWN TENURE. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Has it been shown that this is a direct result of the movies? As it is, Joey Q made a lot of good business decisions in the beginning of his tenure. I think it's pretty clear the movies have little effect on sales, otherwise a Blade title would've actually done well in those days.

I was talking about this with a friend of mine lately, and it basically comes down to this:
Me: "You loved The Dark Knight, didn't you?"
Him: "Definitely, best movie of 2008."
Me: "Did it make you want to read Batman comics?"
Him: "No."
