why are you so angry about trying to get movie fans to read comics

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's a pointless endeavor.

You're basing this on what now?

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Comics sales versus movie sales?

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Oh, wow, now that is stupid.

Movies are ALWAYS going to sell more than comics. Hell, TV shows will have more viewers than comic readers. I mean, hell, you can take an 8-year-old to the Avengers movie, but I don't think most of them would want to dive into the comics.

But that explains it. It's not that your data is wrong. It's that you have no idea how to read it. That is...that is just precious.

Oh for fuck's sake... I'm certainly not expecting billions of people to march into comic stores, but you would expect there to be SOME increase in sales if this direction is supposed to bring in new readers. Marvel has been making some of the most successful movies ever made. None of that success has gone over to the comics. Not even a little.

Is this really a hard concept to grasp for you?

DA

As people have already said we don't shop at comic stores. This also means our sales data is not publicly released as that only applies to issues sold through comic stores. Unless you work at Marvel and can see ALL the sales data you have no idea how many of us there are.

It's less pointless than catering to the whiny, entitled, WASPy fandom they currently have.

Ha!

but...but 18-35-year-old males...
