The Four Color Media Monitor

Seacoast Online writes about the Portsmouth convention. But I don't think they're being clear about if comics are regaining ground:

PORTSMOUTH - As comic books make a comeback across mainstream America, one of the Seacoast's largest comic book conventions has come back to Portsmouth.

[...]

Like many others, Drew and Falkenburg were happy to see the Portsmouth Comic Book Show back in the city and were excited to see comic books coming back into the mainstream.

Either the interviewees or the press themselves have to remember, but I doubt they ever will, that, while movies and games based on comics may make waves, and it's certainly possible that Iron Man will find success as a movie (I think it's supposed to debut this weekend), the source materials as we know them...may be in decline.

Honestly, I think it's yet another news article that exaggerates the facts on the ground.
