After WW2 a mix of reactionary+realist genres rose to prominence. Wiki: “publishers diversified into other genres, such as war, Westerns, science fiction, romance, crime and horror. Many superhero titles were cancelled or converted to other genres.” So...?

That said I predict Wonder Woman 2 will be a hit since it happens to also be an 80s nostalgia movie. So might the stand-alone Nick Fury. Interesting to try and predict which periods will be most popular nostalgia-wise. I think 80s because X’ers. Older = boomers = tainted.
