Arguably the most dominant source material for the biggest blockbusters in cinema today, comic books have exploded in popularity these past 20 years. Whereas DC heroes Superman and Batman dominated the cinematic scene pre-2000, this century has seen Marvel's emergence to the forefront, as well as properties from other publications. This has led to a wide variety of genres being covered by comic books, from the typical superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to crime dramas like Road to Perdition and A History of Violence, to dystopian science fiction flicks like Snowpiercer (pictured). With no shortage of stories available in the comic book medium and its popularity spreading to the small screen as well, comic books are one trend that definitely won't be disappearing anytime soon.
