Good morning, my friend,
Happy (early) Halloween! Today’s Op-Ed is a humdinger as we tackle an assumption made by a DC writer about the size and scale of superhero action comic readers who want LGBT representation in their comics.
Admittedly, this is a dicey topic, but our mission statement is always to treat subjects fairly and honestly. So, we dug into the available research, looked at the numbers, and this is what we’ve found.
[Op-Ed] The Myth Of The LGBT Comic Audience
We can’t have an honest discussion about sensitive topics unless we start with a foundation of facts, so this is our best shot at setting the right foundation.
What do you think? If the numbers are correct (they are), how should this conclusion change the way the Big 2 are making decisions about the comics they produce? Or, does this evaluation make no difference at all?
Let us know your thoughts below.
Next up, I had the chance to speak with prolific podcaster MasterSwagKing about the current state of comics. It’s a long talk but a good one. Give it a listen, and leave your feedback below.
