Do people still like superhero comics?

Pete asked:


I’m seriously considering starting a media production company specializing in comics. Free comics would be available online (after you register for free) and comic books would sell for less than $3 USD per issue. I want to go with superhero-type comics and also add a local slant to it (All of the battles, etc would occur in my hometown - a small place of about 10,000 people). I know the local paper would be willing to run a story on it. Do you think it has the potential to be a success… are superhero comics still in? P.S Income would come from advertising, not sales of comics.

    Yes, but it is less mainstream than it was twenty years ago. Frankly I don’t think your idea would sell — even if I would be willing to work for it. Readership in superhero stories is dropping because some people want it to be more fantastic than it is and some people miss the realism which used to play such an important role in it.

    So I don’t think you’d be able to pay for the talents who would bring ALL the fans in.

    Lots of people like comic books, of course as long as you have good artist and compelling story lines to draw people in you could make a killing
