Marvel seems to be really putting forth some effort to try and promote their female characters and give them their own comic books. The problem is nobody gives a shit. The longest running series from their recent first wave of titles lasted 17 issues. Only X-Men remains out of the original five series. Currently Marvel is attempting a second push of their female characters. Hopefully things will be better this time around.

Someone put together sales figures for Marvel’s female-led books, and it’s both sobering and confusing. Why aren’t these books ordered higher? And what percentage of the overall readership of these titles is digital (as in, is there a sizeable audience for these books but it’s mostly digital? And if not, why aren’t these books selling more?)
