Do not get me started on All Winners Squad. I loved that book. I can't believe they let Jenkins finish his Ka-zar series, which wasn't selling any better, but they didn't let him finish All Winners. Like you'd have settled for it being finished in trade, even.
I guess I'm old too, but there's plenty of out there, many with more money than younger people to spend. Plus, there IS an audience. You wouldn't have History Channel, or the first Cap movie or Agent Carter, if there weren't fans of this stuff. But like the superheroes, I guess it doesn't translate to buying comics.
