You know it's officially a crisis of faith when even the comic book industry can't make a go of it in the Big Apple, the unofficial birth place of the modern superhero. Virgin Comics, which specializes in Indian culture serials and adaptable graphic novels for stars (which is why Jenna Jameson has her own series, btw) will be closing its New York offices for good. The company is expected to relocate to L.A. to cash in on some of those movie deals they've been shopping around, because the future is Super-Spider-Iron-Hulk-Man.

Pour one out for Virgin Comics NYC. They never got as much street cred as Marvel, DC, or Vertigo, but maybe that will change now that Stan Lee has offered to help the brand create a new line of superheroes when they relocate.

And yes, the Virgin logo is one of Richard Branson's trademarks; he co-owns the franchise with Deepak Chopra's son, Gotham. So weirdly enough, the Indian company with a stake in Virgin is called Gotham Entertainment, even though this news means they will not have a reason to visit Batman's hometown anytime soon. It's just more bad news for Branson, whose been forced to shutter his Times Square and Union Square Virgin Megastores thanks to plummeting sales. So what is an eccentric billionaire Branson to do to revive his brand?

Obvious Answer? Team up with Stan Lee to create the Richard Branson: Superhero series!

Branson is already half-way to Tony Stark-dom already: He is super rich, hobnobs with the stars, flies around in spaceships, and is morally ambiguous.

For the movie adaptation, they could get Paul Bettany, as he sort of looks like Sir Branson and, more importantly, doesn't seem to be busy at the moment. Or perhaps Simon Pegg, for a more comedic take? Either way, success!
