New readers that don't exist.

[(Anonymous)]

You have issues.

[(Anonymous)]

Just common sense.

[(Anonymous)]

Let me guess your a white male 18-35 and you don't want to share your precious hobby with icky people that aren't like you.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, shut up. Sincerely, a 25 year old woman.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh did I hit a nerve? What are you going to tell me next that you're not like those other women that just got into comics because of the ~pretty boys~?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - wow, the stereotypes are flying fast & furious in this thread

[(Anonymous)]

You're pretty immature for 25.

[(Anonymous)]

Woah, woah, you're a 25-year-old woman and you literally don't know *any* of the people in that age group who started picking up stuff like JiM or Young Avengers after the Thor movie? Seriously? I call bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I mean, it's possible, but only if anon also completely isolates themselves from the social media of their peers. Presumably because they "aren't like those other girls." Shoot, Loki's got his own series now (again), and it's pretty good stuff so far.

Seriously, I am loving this Loki push, not so much because I liked him in the movies (I did, but mythologically I've always had a soft spot for him), but because the books that revolve around him feel like spiritual successors to Sandman--stories about stories. Love. It.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably in polybags with backboards.

[(Anonymous)]

You're really committed to that idea, aren't you?

Look, I started reading Marvel comics because of the X-men movies back in the day. My friends picked up books because of various movies and cartoon shows. You see the fandom movies generate, and if even a portion of those movie fans go to check out a book, that's not insignificant. I don't know why you're so committed to the idea that it sucks to, if not cater to exactly, to accommodate new fans. Unless you just really like feeling persecuted or something.

The stories are still good, so I'm good.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon is opposed to even the POSSIBILITY of trying to build the genre by drawing in new fans (partly because they think it's doomed to failure, but there seems to be something angry-making about it beyond that)

I don't say this often but anon is literally the cancer that is killing comics

[(Anonymous)]

+1

As a new reader that came in after MCU and now has a pull list of thirteen titles, hi.

So I don't exist, now?

[nyxelestia]

Because I know that I got into comics because of the movies. Most of the comic fans I know either got into comics or got back into comics because of the movies.

And dude, even if only 1% of movie viewers go towards comics, that is still a huge jump in comic sales. 10% sounds like a fantastic number, actually.

Re: So I don't exist, now?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'd been collecting superhero comics (mix of Marvel and DC) since the mid 80s, and wandered off into indie land in the mid 90s. The movies brought me back to Marvel. Fuck DC, though.

Re: So I don't exist, now?

[(Anonymous)]

God, so true. My husband will ask why I don't buy Batman or Superman or whatever and I'm like, fuck those guys.

Re: So I don't exist, now?

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I mean, I'd been pretty hardcore DC until the nu52 stripped everything I loved about the 'verse away and replaced it with grimdark and bad PR. But then Avengers came out and Marvel seemed to be actively trying to court female readers, and making their books accessible to new readers in general (I love the way Hawkeye opens--that one iconic shot from all the trailers. "This guy. It's about this guy from the movies. Caught up? Good."), and...yeah, they had good timing.

Re: So I don't exist, now?

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I saw The Avengers, needed more Natasha in my life, bought Black Widow: The Name of the Rose and loved it, and I've been buying comics semi-regularly (and/or getting my local library to buy them for me :-)) since then.

[augustbird]

yep i definitely didn't go buy two volumes of captain america as a direct result of watching the winter soldier

[(Anonymous)]

New readers that don't exist, or new readers that you don't want around?

[(Anonymous)]

That IS the question, isn't it.

[(Anonymous)]

No seriously. I'm a new digital-only reader. There are many more. Accept it and get over yourself.
