Also of those who VOTED-how many will show up to BUY said book?
What comic book stores did they go to? None.
Yes folks have every right to go off on DC. What is the point of Star Girl and others being in tv and movies and IF you get folks interested enough to want to read about them-there is nothing to read?
Marvel did not settle on JUST having Iron Man and friends in movies-what else did they do? Tossed them in books.
And what happened? Every Black Panther related book DOMINATED trades sales beating everyone including BATMAN. Same with X-Men, Thanos, Cap America, Truth and so on.
It's not just about Batman.
25 out of 31 top 100 super hero trades are Batman related on Amazon. Marvel has 27 and 15 different franchises are represented.
The top females are Harley, Kamala Khan, Carol Danvers and Jane Foster. The later 3 have STAYED in the top 100 for years. What does that say about the women of DC?
Marvel and Invincible rule Kindle Universe. DC only has 11 of the top 100. 6 are Bat family.
24 Marvel characters are represented-FF, Heroes Reborn, Hellions, Enternals, Black Panther, Empyre, Avengers, Thor, Jane Foster, Miles, Peter, Thanso, GOTG, Carol, Kamala, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Strange Academy, X-Men, X-23 and Hulk.
What is Kamal Khan doing to STAY a top selling book on Amazon for now 10 straight years. Same with Carol & Jane Foster. With as many HATE movements those 3 have attracted.
As HORRIBLE a job Coates has done to NOT just Black Panther but Cap America-his books are beating up DC too in trades.
What are they doing that CAN'T be done with Hal Jordan? Wonder Woman? Flash (a book NOT named Flashpoint)?
No one is saying dump Batman. But DC has to look big picture. You can't keep ignoring everyone else or doing as LITTLE as you can.
It should not be Batman sells and is number one. If number 2-10 is not a DC character NOT under Batman banner-we got an issue. I don't care if number 2 is Invincible, The Boys, Cap America Falcon, Static, Spawn or Red Sonja. If it's not a DC OWNED property there should be a need to be concerned.
