Comics are still pop culture playing to a small crowd who are cool within themselves, but just not really as cool as they think or would like to be.
I think comics have quite a lot of life left to them, and it is being proven by the huge success of manga lately.

 'Valhalla's' a beauty of a comedy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It would be impossible to describe Valhalla's plot, which careens madly between time periods, in anything short of an essay.
First-rate direction by Damon Dering and fine comic performances by Shawver and Johnson keep the laughter frequent, but the men also have the dramatic chops to pull off the play's final twist, which ventures into tragedy.
This is play by a gay writer with gay characters (and the obligatory nudity), but straight audiences won't have a problem walking out of the theater with a smile on their faces.

 The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
(Comic Books) In Adam Smith's landmark study of capitalism, The Wealth of Nations, the pioneering economist broke down the ecosystem of the marketplace to its component parts, from producers to consumers and all points in-between, demonstrating how the nature of their interactions maintained the system as a whole.
Comics shops are currently served by just one major distributor, Diamond, which is in turn dominated by two principal publishers due to the exclusivity arrangements each signed during a turbulent period in the mid-1990s.
Eventually, comic books were squeezed out of supermarkets altogether, once newsstand distributors concluded that comics just didn't pay for their rackspace as well as did magazines and paperbacks, and the Direct Market served as a handy ground to which publishers could retreat.

 Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Indie comic 'The Interman' headed to the Silver Screen
Moving "The Interman" to the big screen was helped along by Ford Gilmore, best known to comic fans for his recent work on the DC/Wildstorm series "Thundercats." "The movie strategy was all the brainchild of Ford Gilmore of Illuminati Entertainment," said Parker.
Parker may have created "The Interman" and wrote the comic, but don't expect to see him penning the script to the film, which is fine by the scribe.
Hurd's name may be familiar to comic fans as she's been behind many other comics that headed to the big screen such as the movie "Virus," the upcoming "The Punisher" and this summer's "The Hulk." Valhalla Senior VP of production Jeff Davidson brought the project into Valhalla and will co-produce with Hurd.

 The religion of Krystalin (X-Men 2099)
Krystalin was a mutant member of the future X-Men depicted in the comic book series X-Men 2099, which was part of the relatively short-lived Marvel 2099 universe imprint.
Given the fact that the ancient Norse/Teutonic gods were very real and present realities in the Marvel Universe, and with Thor a very public hero in contemporary Marvel comics, it made sense to extrapolate these elements into the future and imagine an organized religion built around these gods of Asgard.
On the floating city, Krystalin tries to defend Bloodhawk from Heimdall, who offers her to stay with them on Valhalla, since she has proven her courage and the small hammer around her neck proves her to be a Thorite.

Valhalla’s a well-meaning blend of old and new, but most of us have come to expect a little more from an RPG.
Valhalla begins in one of those villages that only exist in role-playing games, where the local economy is purely devoted to supplying the needs of the freelance dungeon explorer.
The scenario is haphazard and confusing – often you have to just stumble around before tripping over the next step in the quest.
