...what's good for Marvel is more or less good for the industry. Marvel has long held the largest market share of comics, and comic sales have been sluggish for the last 10 years. Many comic book retailers now rely on ancillary products to stay in business and have invested heavily in the merchandise surrounding the X-Men movie. If they can't sell their X-Men stuff they may have to cut their losses by buying fewer comics all around...

And that's a sound business decision, in light of the fact that the South African company has seen its market share drop precipitously in recent years, as competition from Russia intensifies.

But it used to be that the latter were packed off forever to an institution far away and the police department could go back to its business of caring for just the eccentrics.
