Comic fans are a passionate bunch, with blogs filled with opinions of writers and readers. So, who are the people who are fans of such sites? We take a look at this week’s Facebook Fandom!

For this report, I searched for some of the most popular comic book blogs out there, a much more difficult task than you’d think. I used just those terms to figure out these stats. This reports is also a global look, so fans are from across the world representing over 20 countries.

Facebook Population: Over 4,800,000 fans Globally

That’s about 10% of the global comic book fan population. Spanish speakers account for now 400,000 fans, 8.33%, much lower than the general global fandom, but better than the US’s blog fans which is 4.51%

Gender and Age

If you think it’s men that frequent these sites, then you’re right. Men dominate the fan base with 70.83% of fans globally and even more in the US, with a whopping 80.28%. So, ladies, if you feel like you’re outnumbered, you’d be correct. For general comic fans, men account for 61.9% in the global population.
