Facebook Fandom Spotlight: Who are the US Comic Fans?
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. We wrap up the first third of the year looking at where things stand.
For this report, I looked at the terms we used in previous reports, 103 “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 28,000,000 fans in the US
The overall amount has remained the same compared to last month. The amount of men and women have shifted, both decreasing while those not providing their gender increased.
Spanish speakers account for 3,6000,000 fans, 12.86%. That is the same as last month.
Gender and Age
Last month men accounted for 57.14% and women for 42.14%. This is the second month women have slipped in percents, though the population count of women hasn’t decreased. Now, men make up 55.71% of the population and women 40.71%.

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

Below is the above’s raw data. You can see the older part of the population has increased a bit compared to the previous month, while those middle-aged decreased.

Relationship Status
We’re continuing to look at the expanded data of relationships which debuted two months ago. Overall, things have remained relatively steady compared to last month. I’d expect as more people notice the expanded options over time, we’ll see some movement.

And for those that like pie charts.

Education
We have much greater detail as to where individuals are when it comes to their education. There’s now even more options for education. We’ll see how this changes over time.

Gender Interest
We’re continuing to track the expanded results for this statistic. Like education, and relationships, gender interest has expanded with much greater detail. Compared to last month, the results have not shifted much.
