Why Don’t You Read Comic Books? – Poll Results

July 18, 2019 Comic Book News 3

In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:

Why don’t you read comic books?

I’m happy to see that 66% of you do read comic books. Interestingly, people who don’t read them state that they aren’t currently reading the comics because they don’t like how the characters are being handled. I’d be interested to find out from people how they think the characters are being mishandled.

Here’s the complete voting breakdown:

I’m keeping Bendis’ work at arm’s length, and am waiting for Doomsday Clock’s collected issues so I can read straight through, but I think Rebirth was excellent and a true return to form from the awful New52.
