I hate how people say that comics are geared towards men. They are, in personal point of view, the creation of the artists and story writers. They put the comics in bookstores for EVERYONE to see, read, and purchase. There is no label saying 'Men only'. Comics are read by men mostly because they are written by men, but nothing stops a girl from picking up a comic.
And about the whole comic industry engineering its own downfall what the heck is that supposed to mean? What are comics artists supposed to do? Quit writing about male super heroes and focus on teenage girls? They obviously prefer to write and draw action so how is that engineering its own downfall? They are drawing what they want to draw and they shouldn't be forced to draw something else just to bring in a specific audience because it brings in more cash. That would just be stamping out the artist's freedom.
