Funny everyone else has no trouble FINDING theses so-called mythical readers.
In fact growth in every genre happened and has continued to happen.
Using DIVERSE characters.
Using NEW created characters.
Using LGBTQA+ and females.
Using some of the same talent that Marvel and DC hires.
Meanwhile when ANY of the above is used at Marvel and DC it is MET with pushback.
Attacks on those characters and creative teams (especially at DC).
Which results in super hero genre NOT seeing growth.
There are 10-20 books starring Bruce Wayne. Yet Jace Fox in his ONE book is preventing folks from reading those 20 Bruce Wayne books.while pissing on the ones they already have (never a good strategy, in my book).
Duke Thomas existing ruins the Bat franchise.
The fans who have NOT cared for certain characters for YEARS-yet because of a character that they HATE is in a book suddenly they got issues.
See Green Lantern and Lobo & Crush. NOBODY cared about Arista the past 13 years and her lack of appearance while Hal lead books. John leads ONE and she dies and suddenly it's an issue. Folks were SILENT about skinny New 52 Lobo but HATE is child.
Help us all if the Inhumans ever reappear.
ONly ones being pissed off are entitled fans that want to steal the Tardis and go back to the 80s.
