It seems DC Comics has teamed up with Nielsen NRG to get some actual stats on comic book readers. Maybe they'll realize that there actually is a female readership out there that they shouldn't alienate!

More info about the survey here for anyone who's interested. I already filled it out myself.

ETA: According to one blogger: "they threw in a fake title, “Nerak” among the new 52. Make sure you put “Hadn’t heard of it”, or else they may discount all of your answers. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"

Yeah, but they could also have asked questions about why a prospective reader didn't actually make the purchase -- you'd think that's the kind of data a media company faced with dwindling readership would want to have.

True! But I think this is the same Nielsen who does the TV viewer ratings, so I guess I just think of them as... counting viewers really. IDK.

Very likely.

Very agreed! A "Why aren't you interested" is EXACTLY the sort of data they need to get the new market that they said they're looking for.
