There is no doubt that X2: X-Men United will blitz the box office this weekend, it's just a matter of by what multiple it will top the sum of all the other movies in theaters during the first weekend in May.

The May 1993 issue of IC was particularly interesting, as it portrayed a comic business in bubble mode, a deal craze in comic companies, several articles that foreshadowed the impending comic crash, and anime and game sales that show similarities to the present.
