And this is yet another fine example of why Marvel Comics is failing. Why did they not do this with Guardians? (maybe they did and I just didn't hear about it, but that is still a problem, yes?)
Or, and maybe Marvel did this as well, why not show a huge ad for the Guardians of the Galaxy comic right before the start of the Guardians movie? Something that shows past covers and has something like -
"Kids (and adults alike), if you enjoy seeing the Guardians in this movie, be sure to check out their other high action adventures in the pages of "The Guardians of the Galaxy comic"! Sold at local comic shops everywhere.
To find a local comic shop just call 1-888-COMICBOOK or go to COMICSHOPLOCATOR.COM and let the adventure begin!"
Ya know? I have no business training and yet I, a medicated moron sitting at home on his ass, can come up with ideas to help promote your comics yet you guys do nothing but raise prices and put out more "soon to fail" titles?
Another thing and something I heard on some podcast that, for the life of me, I can't remember right now where it was, but ...
(and I am paraphrasing here, of course)
So Marvel has a Guardian movie coming out and if anyone would like to read more about them, they walk into a comic store and what do they see? A good, solid cover of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic? Well yeah, but they also probably see, as this is a comic store and they keep comics showcased for a few months at times (depending on the store) a butt-load of other Guardian related comics, get overwhelmed and say screw it.
I went and looked up what a customer
COULD see, and most likely would have, if they walked into a comic shop looking for just a Guardians comic for themselves or their kid after watching the movie ...
(let's just say they have never been in a store prior to this)
Would you feel good about what you are looking for after seeing this?

Have a damn comic that people can walk in and grab if they want to. I know movies do little, at all, to help comic sales, but I also know that after the Wonder Woman movie there were a bunch of young girls that walked into stores looking for a comic about her!!!
Stupid Marvel decision makers.
