Peter G Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Pretty cool video about women in comics. Its nice to see women coming into their own. That said, this idea of a war on women is really getting annoying. There is right now a WAR ON MEN !!!! https://www.yahoo.com/katiecouric/rise-of-the-female-superhero-ever-since-superman-126459307033.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 It really is amazing to see how powerful women have become in these last 15 years Sexy, Smart, Witty, Deep and Men are just a bunch of meterosexual dufuses HAhahahaha As the female speaker at the end of the video says "Step aside guys. Just give up. We're Taking Over" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Mission Impossible this weekend and left wondering how Tom Cruse was looking so old and the woman lead came away looking like a bad-.

Peter G Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 The first rule of warfare is to know ur in a WAR Too many men are ignorant of that fact But women know. Women know I cannot go a day without reading some piece of propaganda to remind me of the superiority of women http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/08/women-experience-more-pain-after-breaking-up-but-deal-with-it-better-than-men-5332447/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Pure 'Targeted Marketing'. And why not, the blogasphere gobbles it up, propels it right on to mainstream pop culture 'news'. The war, if there is one, is on female wallets. I watch something like that and I'm thinking about the Petsmart crowd. About how many pet owners there are out there. About all the money comic publishers are leaving on the table. Cats rule YouTube. Wake up!! Streaky, Comet and Krypto for the WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Are 47% of comic book readers female? That seem extremely high considering the percentage of guys you see at comic shops, comic cons and pretty much anything related to comic books.

I'm just saying marketers see 'opportunity' based on the reality you're experiencing. Not saying it isn't real. Example: Click Yes. This is another example of THE WAR ON MEN. Marketers and Liberal Policy Makers in Washington are striving to convince everybody that gender is just a fictitious social construct. That is, there are no biological differences between men and women. Transsexualism or "Gender Fluidity" is championed as the ideal. "Girl toys" and "Boy toys" are now just supposed to be toys. It makes me wonder - when do boys get to be boys ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three shops that I frequent quite often have numerous female buyers (easily 50/50 any time I go in there) Wow - I'd say its about 90% guys in the 3 or 4 stores I frequent around Cleveland. I did see one woman walk up and get her pull books but most are there with a guy kind of looking around (bored). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybuck43 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Maybe its a regional thing? One of the stores is owned by a husband and wife combo, and the wife (Karen) tends to be there more often than the husband. She also has an AMAZING comic book art collection (including covers for books that I know people would be chomping at the bit to get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Are 47% of comic book readers female? That seem extremely high considering the percentage of guys you see at comic shops, comic cons and pretty much anything related to comic books. I wouldn't doubt that it's close to that 47% number, but I'd still hazard a guess that 90% of the comic book revenue is coming from men (not including movies & whatnot). They're still the ones buying high-grade GA/SA/BA or even CA books. They're the ones really worried about getting a 1st print of a key book. Many of the younger fans (and many of the female fans are younger) are just fine with buying digital, buying trades, buying collected editions to read those books. They're still predominantly in the "reader" category rather than the "collector" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybuck43 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The issue with that is that the "market" is new books not back issue sales. Marvel/DC/IDW/etc. only care about their sales, they don't care that Action #1 sold for $3.2 million other then to show that people may run out and buy more new books hoping that in a few years their books will be worth that much. So if 47% of readers are female then about 47% of the market is female (thus 47% of Marvel/DC/IDW/ETCs revenue comes from women) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone calling? On-Line surveys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
