Cloverfield, a movie can be a comic book movie without having superheroes in them. 300 is an example of that, being both a historical piece (kinda) and a comic book movie (based off of the Frank Miller comic).

And when you think about it, Sin City isn't about superheroes either, but does that make it not a comic book movie then??? That movie was a straight adaptation of the Miller comic, mostly cause Miller co-directed it with Robert Rodriguez.
