    Anyone have non-comic friends fired up over Sin City?

    I have a couple non-comic reading friends that are all colors of jacked to see Sin City. One has started borrowing the trades from a friend and loves them, and the other's ready to start turning pages, too.

    Anyone else have friends that want to see the movie but have no prior knowledge of Miller's greatness? It'd be interesting to see how this movie impacts the non-comic public... more than Spider-Man or X-Men, I could see this movie appealing to a lot of people who don't read comics.

    Yes, a lot of gamers that come to the store plan to see the movie. They however, can barely read, so they'd rather see movies than read the comics.
    Somehow they can master games with three inch Spidermen, but can't manage reading, go figure.

    Yep.

    An added bonus is that the theater a friend of mine manages is getting SIN CITY so we're going to watch it a couple days before the premiere.

    My non-comic reading friend went to see it with me yesterday, and today he wants to pick up some of the trades.

    That's phenomenal!

    I haven't even been pushing it that hard - at all, really - and a couple of the guys are really fired up to engage in its badass-ness.

    Gotta love it.
