I don't think too many of those serials made it to DVD outside of things like Superman, Batman and Captain Marvel.

ED @ i have a question for you, why did my silent hill article get deleted, saying its not comic related, silent hill does have comics and graphic novels. Just curious, im not mad or anything.

Also my super 8 article for the same reason, but yet as i look there are still srticle's up about the super 8 trailer being released.

Mounted88, from what I've learned, not all articles that don't belong have been deleted yet. I also learned that Silent Hill was a video game first, and is a Horror genre movie second, so it needs to make a good case to stay on CBM—like mention it was a comic book and providing a pic or something. I believe Super 8 will be coming off as it has no comic book connection.

Hope this helps.

The reason I supplied came to me from Galactus. From what I'm gathering, there's going to be a push to get non-CBM material over to Earth's Mightiest. And as I noted in my explanation, for something like Silent Hill, it needs to be mentioned that there is a comic connection and perhaps include an image from the comic.

SILENT HILL is a class comic book series!

Damn, it got deleted? I was gonna comment on that!

I class it more a comic book movie than some I've seen that only have a comic book adaption to back them up! : P
