Comics are now mainstream. And not just comic book movies.

Shit like this makes me think of the comics for adults thing.
>>85767258
Honestly, man. Meredith Gran and Kate Beaton have blipped on my radar more than fucking Nicola Scott. Raina is more known in the book publishing spheres, and Full Metal Alchemist is popular as shit, only thing is the whole Arakawa thing being a woman isn't as widely known in the west because western audience most of the time don't pay attention to creators of a series.

like, what is Nicola Scott known for other than drawing fucking Wonder Woman? A stint over at Image?

Black Magick, Teen Titans, Earth 2, Secret Six, Birds of Prey, etc.

Just because you don't read comics doesn't mean everyone else doesn't read comics.

Yeah I mean her stuff is pretty competently house style, nothing particularly groundbreaking or innovative, but she's pretty prolific and draws some amazing butts.

Smile is one of the best selling comics of all time in the US. It's a pretty big deal especially among girls.

>comics are now mainstream
>now

Comics have been mainstream the majority of their existence. They dropped into niche territory after the 90s crash and stayed stuck for a while but every decade before that they were always mainstream. Until video games and cable TV took hold in the 80s, comics were like the premiere form of entertainment for children for a huge chunk of the 20th century.

Talk to ANY male baby boomer (or older) and I can almost guarantee you he owned a bunch of comic books as a kid. And Gen-X was just as quick to read comics too, both mainstreams and indies.

Harvey Pekar was on fucking Letterman in 1987.

Lynda Barry was on too but those probably had more to do with him being more outside the box when it came to talk show hosts from that era

X-Men comics used to sell in the millions on a monthly basis in the 90s. Now, a couple hundred thousand is considered a huge success.

those numbers were inflated quite a bit by "speculative" comic book collectors, who honestly thought they could make money off it, and had no interest in reading comics at all. the industry feed the idea by producing alternate covers and foil covers and so forth.

That's because Fegredo worked primarily on lesser known books(Hellboy being an exception) while Scott has done shit for DC

I think a big part of comic books' sales problems are due to the distribution methods they use. I've gotten the sense from a lot of people who say they'd like to get into comics that the "comic book store" atmosphere dissuades them, and I can kind of see where they're coming from. I've met people working in comic book stores, many of which are the living embodiment of this guy.

Fegredo has done some of both Morrison AND Milligan's best books.

(not true, by the way)

at least 60 percent of the shops I've been in have had at least one woman working there.

You first. Trying to dodge the subject by talking about the women won't stop the majority of comic book store employees being fat, antisocial guys with poor hygiene, and all too often, an elitist sense about comic book knowledge.
