After a years-long slump, are Superman comics cool again? This comics store thinks so — and so do a lot of others. Here's why.
Rochester, NH - The upcoming Superman film, directed by James Gunn, appears to be making an unprecedented impact even before its full release. Jetpack Comics, a local comic book store in Rochester, New Hampshire, reported an unexpected surge in demand for Superman-related merchandise. According to a statement from the store, unlike previous blockbuster comic book movies, the new Superman film has driven a "non-stop" interest in single issues, collected editions, and action figures. Beyond comic book sales, the film's influence reportedly extends to a heartwarming social trend. Reports indicate a significant increase in dog adoption interest, with some sources citing a 500%+ surge. This rise is attributed to Krypto, Superman's canine companion, whose appearance in the film is said to have captivated audiences and inspired a renewed interest in dog adoption. This suggests the film is not only revitalizing interest in classic comic characters but also fostering positive real-world outcomes.
