Some do, but most girls who are all LEL I LUV COMICS XD either read absolute dog shit or don't read comics at all. They just want to be part of geek sheek culture.

Girls will stop at nothing to get attention. Some do so by reading comics.

I think female comic creators read comics yes

My wife read Strangers in Paradise back in the day. Hasn't read anything since.

Have you looked at the sales figures? No one is reading comics.

>>78962911

>>78962911

Grill reporting in, yes we do. In fact it was my female roommate in college who got me into comics with Matt Wagner's Grendel, Miller's Ronin and a couple Hellboy trades.

Funny thing is, she's a MASSIVE weaboo now and runs a cosplay costuming business on the side.

when I was like 10 years old, yes. but then they closed the only place in my town that used to sell comics and videogame magazines (it was some short of library, dunno). so I moved to cartoons and anime (I know, I know, go back to /a/).
I wonder what happened to the pile of disney comics I used to own, would love to read them again.

My niece bought a issue of spider Gwen a few months ago she's 5

one of my female friends does and as a fellow grill i read them if she lends them too me but its mainly deadpool and I cant stand him

>>78962911
Yeah my imouto has me steal comics from the internet for her.

>>78962911
My 14yo sister does, sometimes. She either picks one of my books or asks me to find her stuff on the internet. She has read stuff like TKJ, 300, a couple of modern Deadpool and Batman arcs

Other than that there was this one girl that used to read Dylan Dog during spare times in highschool

My sister does, but we're a family that has essentially all grown up on comics.
Dad used to collect and read in the 70s. Hung out with small local publishers and went to cons. Shit, he bought his first car by flipping a collection he bought from some guy.

My sister has basic knowledge of characters and history/continuity. She mainly reads DC teen titles like Teen Titans & Young Justice. She's hunting for preNu52 series of Young Justice. Marvel side she's a Deadpool reader. She doesn't follow particular writers, mainly just characters. She realizes that some writers are shit, but admits that she'll recognize when something is shit and stop purchasing it at that point, so that's reassuring. Outside the big two, she'll read the odd title here and there, but ultimately she's into young capes.

she's also always on her fucking phone reading Marvel/DC fanfiction the crosses over with Harry Potter and Naruto

Girls yes, women no.

I do every now and then but it's not my preferred media

I am an avid comic book reader, always support my favorite creators by buying digitally and buying the trade physically when it comes out and I only read books that are free of misogyny.

I used to use my friend as a library (he was chill about it) because he had subscriptions to a bunch of things, but I can be really cheap and would only buy my own copies if I really liked something. If I got something he didn't already have I would return the favor and let him borrow it. I like graphic novels more than I like continuing series. Blankets, I Kill Giants, Koko Be Good, the Rabbi's Cat, etc. But I used to keep up with Invincible, Locke and Key, Fables, Unwritten, and others. I also really dig Blacksad. I'm not big into capes but I've got the Killing Joke and the Cult lying around because Batman's always pretty good.

How many of these girl sitting on a pile of comics pictures exist?

What do girls think of le gamer/geek/comic grills that clearly do it for attention? What about their thirsty beta enablers? I dislike them but don't blame them as they wouldnt exist if not for those that suck their tits

>>78965866
Generally I ignore them, though I do have a lot of dislike for them. If it's something online it's easy to brush it off. If it's someone in real life I tend to quietly rage in my head about it and try to not overreact much when I witness it. I don't think it's helpful or attractive to try acting superior in person, just let them make fools of themselves if that's what they want to do.

Archie is an example of what comics could be without Diamond. I imagine Batman would sell over a million issues a month if it was in supermarkets

>>78968943
so why does everyone put up with diamond

>>78968943
I feel like half of Archie's sales are grandmothers buying their grandkids something nice in the supermarket, or parents impulse buying it to shut up their kids at the cash register.

What the fuck does that even mean? Is misogyny just ANYTHING that makes you uncomfortable? I can't think of a single comic (outside of very specific issues of Cerebus) that is actually misogynistic, unless you're going to say "drawing a women with large breasts" is somehow bigotry.

>>78971015
There is LITERALLY not an alternative, but the courts have ruled it's not a monopoly since "comics are books" and there are "other" book distributors out there...even though none of them distribute comics...

A couple of young women I dated back in college read comics. One was into Claremont-era X-Men, another was into Gaiman's Sandman and manga (she was into Oh My Goddess! if I recall). So they're out there.

My niece reads a lot of the OGNs and serial TPBs published by Scholastic (Jeff Smith's Bone, Raina Telgemeier's Smile and Drama, etc.). They're apparently popular at her school's library.

I also have a female cousin who was a huge X-Men comics fan. When we were kids, she used to buy two copies of every issue of Uncanny X-Men (one for herself, a second copy for me and my older brother... she was real sweet). She doesn't read the X-titles anymore, though. I think these days she's mostly into Image Comics titles and reprints of Silver Age/Bronze Age-era Wonder Woman.

I made my ex read I Kill Giants, Birthright, For All Seasons, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane and A Contract with God. the first few issues of the Wicked + Divine, and that Gillen Loki arc. She hates them all but supposedly read them. I don't reallly believe her because it used to take her like a real long time to read through her shitty YA novels she loved but she sped through these stories. Maybe she didn't appreciate the art or the idea of stories being told through sequential art? Weird, because she was an artsy girl. I'm pretty sure she's just dumb.

>>78962911
A woman I used to have classes with read a lot of comics.

Being Europoor, that were mostly Francobelgians though. Sure is nice to have options.

Can confirm as female that I read comics. I wouldn't call myself a comic nerd or anything (idk if there's a name for it) but I do want to read more, I just can't afford to commit to any at the moment.
The ones I've read are: Y: the Last Man, Low, Maus, Watchmen, Persepolis, some of Fables (dropped it) and a few weird indy ones. And SaGa

My girlfriend read all of Sandman way before I met her, but hadn't really read any other comics. She was actually the one that convinced me to read Sandman. After we met I got her to read Saga (which we both agree is just mediocre, but she likes the art). She has a bunch of my comics on her HD that she wants to read, like Lucifer, Swamp Thing, and Books of Magic.

For Christmas she downloaded a bunch of obscure Euro comics for me, Mobieus stuff, Incal, Blueberry. She is great.

Femanon here and I used to a lot. I got real into comics around 2000 when I first read Ghost World and started buying a bunch of capeshit as well as the usual required reading (Maus, Watchmen, JTHM). I sort of fell off after getting real into Scott Pilgrim at the expense of everything else. I could probably still enjoy a Daredevil or Booster Gold or something if I tried but I haven't really bothered. I'm mostly here for the cartoons side of the board now.

And penis. Sometimes.

I used to work with a young woman who was actually decently knowledgeable about late '70s to present Marvel. My brother's ex was starting to read some older DC stuff she had access to, and getting clarification from me on cameos or random pop-up tidbits that she didn't quite know the source of. And, I had an ex who actually had a decent collection of random '80s/'90s fantasy-esque comics and some Nocenti and Chichester Daredevil.

It happens periodically, but a lot of them don't really advertise if they're into comics beyond watching film/TV adaptations. They're not unheard of, but most people don't really go on about interests unless they know you have some kind of background in it.

My girlfriend loves comics. Her favorite is Miller's Daredevil run

What's the reasoning behind this thinking? It's a bit like if someone said "BONE" and you were like "what?" and they were like "wow look at this newfag he doesn't get the Mr. Bones Wild Ride" meme. Just posting "LONDON" is kind of purposely obfuscating it from it's source as much as possible. In fact isn't that kind of the point?

I hate to break it to you, buddy, but most Americans that do read comics read Japanese comics.

I know it isn't as as much as the height of the manga boom / bubble, but pretty sure manga imports are still outselling domestic product.

I remember around 2008 or so Wired had an article on manga sales. Plus Publisher's Weekly and some other articles I saw.

That is how fucked and up its own ass the US comics industry is. Imports from Japan, a secondary market for them, are outselling our domestic product.

Fuck. I don't think the American domestic car industry was doing that bad versus imports and some of them got a fucking federal government bailout.

Try looking for a /fit/ cosplayer in a more obscure costume at a comic convention. Probably your best bet.

>>78992467
let's be real. how many male /co/mrades do you think are /fit/ themselves?

really, saying there aren't women in comics or who read comics is a self fulfilling prophecy. The more idiots, both male and female, say it; the more they will drive women away from comics.

I remember some snotty.. whatever the US version of a chav is.. girl talking to her mom at Toys R Us. She was complaining that the mom shouldn't buy some Marvel superhero for a young female cousin because those are for boys. What a dumb bitch. Some women are just as much the problem here as men.

>>78992485
Its a better deal. A single volume gets you multiple issues, only for $10. American trades are expensive as fuck, and mostly just filler. Or you buy the single issues at an outrageous price for 20 pages, then you got to wait a month, or in cases like Image, it can be 4 to 6 months.

I actually met a really nice lesbian couple at a con's artist alley who were maybe bigger DC dorks than I am. Actually was using a custom Nightwing messenger bag today that I bought from them.

They also were into guy on slash oddly enough. Then again, considering slash is queer and they are drawn so girly, it makes some sense.

>>78992679
Well, even cheaper manga is starting to go up a buck or two thanks to inflation in the past ten years. Thougb I would say the ten dollar mark for a manga volume in 2005 dollars is a pretty magic price point.

>>78992745
Oh fuck yes.
They were like 70-75% of the market at turn of the century and still over 60%. And they made that majority of the market into an artificially inflated shitfest that seems like something out of the Bear Sterns playbook that was part of what crashed the entire economy in 200i.

>>78962911
If by comics you mean american superhero crap then no. Otherwise not only my sister has read comics but also my brother parents uncles and even great parents. Everyone had at least one comic in his/her life to remember from unashamed.

Shit. I have been here since 2004/2005 and still get called a newfag for not knowing some shitty /v/ or /b/ meme from a year or two ago.

Hey, maybe if you men on here stopped berating women and the women stopped berating the men, we could all just talk about comics and not give a shit. Like, instead of
>Hey, Kamala fuckin sucks dude. Fuckin tumblrpandering whore. I wish women wouldn't ruin comics.
>KAMALA IS A GEM AND REPRESENTS A BEAUTIFUL OPPRESSED RACE YOU CHAUVINIST SWINE
We could have
>Kamal fuckin sucks. She was only made to make white women feel better about themselves. I miss Carol. She may not have been "interesting" but at least she was fun. And hot.
>You know who else is hot? Nightwing.
>I would tap that ass in a heartbeat.
>Dick's is leagues finer than Kamala could ever hope for.

Eventually this will lead to a discussion about comics. Not the same exact fucking gender argument I see in every fucking thread.

That's not to say it's uncalled for, but it does fairly amuse me that just about any girl out there in the world is by default so high in society's food chain - like, a light-years wide gap between the most /co/-tarded man and the least /co/-tarded woman - and knows it.

You might as well pretend watching movies is a thing only nerdy guys do.

Video games are a mainstream thing played by both genders, nerds and non-nerds alike.

Comics... unfortunately aren't quite there. Of course saying that only white guys read comics is a sure fire way to put up a fence like some childish He Man Women Haters Club tree fort.

Casuals and attention whores are very different unless you mean the LP kind of loser. Besides casuals can suck shaft.

Just engage on the casual thing if you like it or ignore it. One science fantasy film does not a scifi fan make and some casual games doesn't not a game fan make.

there are artsy fartsy films that only film school majors would watch and then there are movies that you can watch whenever you want because they are on cable constantly
There's high fashion that only the elite would ever wear and then there's the shit that are knockoffs whatever that one celebrity wore that one time
There are tons of videos games that are open and available to everyone, but you won't find people who know a lot about video games and only play a few mobile games and popular games everyone else plays (only sometimes)

Star Wars only became "nerdy" after nerds started getting into it
Star Wars was a major motion picture that only became "nerdy" because nerds were obsessing over it
And not just watching the movies, reading the novels, buying too much of the merchandise, etc

Nothing is actually "nerdy"
Nerds are nerdy and they get intense about things that most people don't get overly zealous about

P2
>Video games are a mainstream thing played by both genders, nerds and non-nerds alik
Nerd or non-nerd is usually self defined and essential based on your interpersonal or relational skills so that is a moot point
Unless you mean nerd as in 'game nerd' wherein the person actually likes plays and has experienced a lot of games in which case it matters.
To break it down, the majority of games are played by men. Most of the women getting on the numbers is due to phone games, which to call back to my star wars analogy doesn't make you a big fan of games. It does make you a big fan of candy crush but not of 'games' in their entirety or any meaningful way past the domain mobile
Similarly there are only so many sales attributed to those who you call 'dude bros' like some early naughties call back. If we're defining them the same they'll buy, one or many sports games every year, a shooter like Battle field or COD, GTA, and the best marketed triple A game (this year see: Fallout)

Yeah. Video games aren't niche.
Non FF JRPGs? Sure. That's a nerdy niche.
Comics in general and superhero flicks aren't niche.
Reading Hellboy or Warren Ellis. That's more nerdy niche.

And, of course, everything is a matter degrees and relative to each other.

At a certain point trying to prove your nerdiness becomes more like being a hipster by finding more and more obscure niches to claim you were into before everyone else.

>>78999357
I literally noted it was scifantasy like two sentences down fuckwit. Point still remains, people liking 'a' game or 'a' comic or perhaps a collection of highly saturated main stream comics or games or whatever media or activity doesn't make you a 'fan' or an 'enthusiast' or even a significant member of the group.
I own a bike but I doubt the government counts me as part of the cyclists votership. They are a very specific set of people united by interests not a passing fancy in an activity (and so it is with all interest groups).

>And, of course, everything is a matter degrees and relative to each other.
What is even your point? (rhetorical question)

>prove your nerdiness becomes more like being a hipster
Being a nerd is about obsessive dedication, not proving you liked something before it was cool
Nerds aren't hipsters
If they were, they'd just be called hipsters

Comics are still niche as fuck because hardly anyone reads them. All they do is discuss them. That and the general public would rather watch movies. Capes are in vogue but comics still are not.
Hell rpgs in general are niche excluding big triple A titles. I can't even understand where you pull these norms from.

Well, they are reading comics.

All that needs to happen is a deescalation. Less comics with higher quality. It's a small market acting like a big one. If people are interested they will pay. Niche interests live on through those enthralled by it not big industry.
What you're suggesting is some big manufactured push for new demographics but all that does is alienate the old fans and make things artificial. Comics as they are now are a hardened interest that many people have and it's theirs to keep. It can crop up in new ways else where but it shouldnt be hacked apart in an attempt to keep popularity growing. If people are interested things will happen, new comics made with new demographics by people who understand the niche demo they're writing for. Not by diversifying legacy characters and trying to pull some minorities into the stores Things shouldn't happen to bait and artificially create interest unless you're running a business. Rather interest should inspire creation

No, they watch Dr. Who, and play Ass Creeds. That is all.

I read archie years ago. Much better than cape shit.

Asking if a girl likes comics is like asking if a girl likes sex. It's 2016 people come on now.

i just hate when you people try to blame comics or cartoons or global nerdy stuff for things that assholes do to you because you are faggot.

you know isn't true and it's because other personal stuff

It's probably too late but rather than have this thread be another roll call of "Yeah, I know a girl who reads comics," I'll ask a follow up question: Are they heavily interested in social justice or are they not that into it?

My sister reads strangers in paradise

>>78976859
>Yes. Because none of the male posters here have shit comics or just casually talk about characters they haven't actually read comics for.
Nice straw man, bruh. No where did I say guys don't do the same shit, you trip faggot kike.

>>78999919
>reduced cover prices
>format experimentation (print dimensions, page count, color or no, digital, etc)
>actually promoting the comics with your tv/movies/games/etc adaptations
>availability beyond the direct market
>quality stories
>variety of genre
>age appropriate comics
>general reading initiatives (learning/fun/whatever)
>distributors beyond diamond.

That's some of what I think.
This stuff seems too hard for the industry to attempt.

I went to my LCS yesterday to pick up my order of a whopping 2 comics.
In front of me was a girl - an early 20s, decently attractive blonde girl at that - who's order was a pile 3 fucking inches thick. Storylines she was reading kept bleeding over into other series, so she bought them too to get the whole experience.
I also have a friend a few cities over - also a girl - who spends as much disposable income as she can on Marvel and already has several boxes full of flagship titles & events.
They're ideal fans desu.

Naw. Let's just polybag some incentive Harley Quinn variant covers and have another Batman crossover. That will fix sales!

Welcome to America,
Just because people who know shit about comics know about a great artist like him, that doesn't mean most people who read comics know shit about em.

No.
A "graphic novel" means a novel, or a book, told through graphic means (illustrations). So more ambitious storytelling-wise than your average monthly / weekly comics.

It's even in the damn dictionary, look it up.
