Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome to year 4!
- 2011 was another banner year for comic book film properties. A lot of ramping up took place toward the third of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, the Amazing Spider-Man relaunch and The Avengers, which turned out to be an incredible success story in 2012. Capitalize on this in your libraries!
- 2011 could also be called The Year of the Zombie, because the flesh-eating dead were everywhere.
- New York Comic Con 2011. DC launched their New 52 line.
- Comic book stores regained some momentum in 2011.
- The Walking Dead leaped to new heights of popularity. The comic book series continues to be one of the most popular with readers, both in its physical and digital forms. The trade paperback collections have reached the 15th volume. The AMC TV series is garnering huge ratings.
- Things will come to a head this summer as the comic book series reaches issue #100 and fever-pitch popularity.
- Meanwhile, in libraries, graphic novel collections continued to maintain their popularity. They also became more and more specialized. In my travels around the state, it was gratifying to see that more and more of you were establishing separate children, teen and adult graphic novel collections.
- Marketing for The Avengers was everywhere late last year.
- Digital comics gained more momentum in 2011. More titles made the jump to digital. Both Marvel and DC, among other publishers, began to simultaneously publish their new Wednesday comics output digitally as well. This gave customers a choice of format to buy.
- Slowly classic comic book properties like Watchmen made the jump to digital, readable on PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone.
- Comixology began carrying more digital collections, equivalent to a trade paperback or hardcover collection.
- There were separate apps on the iPad devoted to some of fans’ favorite comic book series, characters, and companies. Here, Image’s The Walking Dead.
- And now, here are some of the best graphic novels of 2011.
- If there is any question about Daniel Clowes’ impact on American popular culture, here is a Clowes cover to the New Yorker.
- The TV series has a lot of story content to draw from the comics. It could go on for quite a long time. Get every volume of the collections and settle in for the long haul.
- Cross market the dvd with the comics for maximum impact.
- Season 2 DVD coming in August
- Michonne is wildly popular since she was revealed at the end of the second season. This panel is from the Michonnebackstory which was presented in an exclusive chapter in Playboy magazine.
