Ooh, trades, yeah. Forgot about that too. When you see the numbers for a book, it doesn't include the trade-waiters, which a lot of people do these days because let's face it--trades are cheaper, easier to organize and store, don't have ads (usually) and it's easier to read or lend out a whole story arc.

But it's just ridonk that digital sales aren't factored in. I don't get digital comics myself (don't have an e-reader, don't really want to use my computer), but I think it's just fantastic that they're so available. I remember how hard it was getting comics before I could drive myself to the comic shop, and how intimidating it was to go into some shops, and some towns that didn't even have a decent comic shop. Digital availability is fantastic and makes comics more accessible to new readers.

DA

I think it's complete bullshit interesting that the two formats that women comics readers tend to prefer--digital and trades--are also the two formats that aren't counted when determining how well a title's selling. I'm not calling this a conspiracy or anything; but I do think that if it were male comics readers leading this shift in buying habits, the industry would be far more likely to change their data sources for sales figures.

AYRT. Huh. I didn't think about it in those terms. I don't know if it's so much latent sexism as it is part of inherent "we don't want no new people!" attitude that seems to pervade the comics industry. Which tends to go hand in hand with sexism, sure. But I think it's just that concept that some geeks seem to have of other (especially new) geeks "doing it wrong" if they do anything at all differently from Times Gone By.
