Tom, with the movies getting more and more popular I've noticed a trend in the comics that leads to two possibilities, both of which are rather frightening: 1) your writers can't be bothered to develop original ideas and just copy the movies, or 2) you think readers are so stupid that they won't be able to tell the difference between the events of the movies and the books, so the books must be changed to be more in line with the films.

Yep, exactly like the movies…
