    You have defined Urban Fantasy as related to vampires and werewolfs etc, so where would a contemporary New Superhero fall?

    Superheroes are popular both on TV and in the Movies, but not as Urban Fantasy, where would they fit for publishers? And why do most publishers shy away from Superheroes and leave them to comic books?
