Comic books: Where have all the heroes gone?

Comic books were the gateway to the imagination, there was always a superhero you wanted to be just like. If you try to find a superhero comic book now you'll have to big bucks or go to a flea market. Everyone is into games and television. Why would we need superhero comics when you can put in a game and make it seem to come to life for you our watch it on television and see what they can really do. In this time it is almost like there is no room for imagination. X-men was my favorite. I could read it all day long and imagine the things I could do if I were her. I dressed up as storm one year for Halloween. Superheros gave everyone a role model in a way. i think that we are so focused on the stars and the government that we use them as role models so we forget all about the good old superheros. The ones that could "move mountains" and see through walls. It is a technology based time and there are no room for comic books. We can have 80 different types of celebrity dirt magazines but heavens for someone to create a comic book with a super hero seems like it must be a huge hassle. Has the imagination gone away so much so that the only thing there is anymore are police shows and reality television. I think it is the imagination that has disappeared. The comic books are still there they are just much harder to find. We nee to dig deep and they will eventually return, at least I hope.
