You're still collecting something, a memory. And if in fact you have to make the choice between those things and comics there are obviously other factors including your personal funds available for entertainment, priorities in said entertainment, etc. But to say the Deadpool movie can't "move the needle
on those books may possibly be one of the most short sighted answers available. How much do those book currently sell for (through rises and dips)? They have ALWAYS been readily available, many people had bought them years ago and prices can only climb so high. Did you expect Hulk 181 to reach a million in 9.4? No, it will always rise and fall and when you rise into the 5 figure market your buyer pool shrinks by leaps and bounds.
People have hardly "moved on", maybe YOU have found social outings to be more exciting? But I can say that I attend typically 2-3 shows a month "I don't say concerts", usually hit a Birds game once a season, and eat at different restaurants a few times a month with the wife. Still spend plenty of time with comics, building cars, playing in my own band, and raising 2 teenage boys who are multi sport athletes. Just because YOU struggle to figure out how to better manage funds and time doesn't mean the world has moved on.
