The Process of turning comic books into movies has seen some hits, misses and very varied approaches, with few films (or TV show interpretations) given a serious treatment in previous decades.
It's often said that the first Blade film, released in 1998 and based on Marvel's vampire title, paved the way for the current era of adaptations, although many mainstream viewers won't even realise that Blade is a comic book character.

2009, for any number of reasons, was a long year. It had its definite ups and its definite yada-yada-yada. I’m not worried about that last part right now.
