It’s the first of the month and that means a new Facebook Fandom Spotlight looking at the general comic book fan population on Facebook. It continues a brand new year of stats and tracking comic book fans on Facebook.
For this report, I looked at the terms we used in previous reports, 102 “likes” on Facebook, primarily focused on terms like “comics” or “graphic novels” or publishers. I stay away from specific characters, creators or series, because this does not indicate they are a comic book fan.
Facebook Population: Over 24,000,000 fans in the US
That’s an increase of 2 million people from the previous month. I compared the individual counts for the terms and the increase came from numerous different terms. Some terms lost counts, but there was massive growth for quite a few.
Spanish speakers account for 3,4000,000 fans, 14.17%. That’s an increase of just about a half percentage point.
Gender and Age
Last month men accounted for 53.64% and women for 42.73%. This month women made some gains, now accounting for 46.67% of the population and men 54.17%. That’s over 100%, so the round numbers given probably aren’t so round in reality.

We’ll next look at how the percentage of women and men break down through age.

Gender Interest
Here’s the biggest change from the previous month. Women interested in women plummeted and I’m not quite sure why. I ran the numbers multiple times and it came up the same each time.
