Listen to last night’s Graphic Policy Radio!

Last night saw the latest episode of Graphic Policy Radio. We had a lot to discuss and it was lively.

  • The show started off with an update from Elana about the New York City recovery from Sandy and we talked about how you can help.
  • With the election this Tuesday, I’m sure we chatted about the political aspect of comics, especially since we reported the majority of comic fans support President Obama and a large chunk support Governor Gary Johnson!
  • We also talked demographics and that the majority of comic fans under the age of 17 are women! We looked at this interested stat and some other information regarding it.

If Romney Wins Does He Get Comic Covers?

Posted on by

One of the big things to come out of the 2008 election was President Barack Obama being featured in so many comic books, including the infamous cover to Amazing Spider-Man #583. It was like a Government stimulus plan for the comic book industry.

If Governor Mitt Romney wins, will he get the same treatment? There is Amazing Spider-Man #700 coming out soon…

Bleeding Cool asked Spider-Man writer Dan Slott to find out the answer. To which Dan replied…

If Romney wins, I’m moving to the UK. :-P

Dan, you do know they currently have a conservative government, right?

Who Do Comic Fans on Facebook Like for President?

Posted on by

Yesterday, Engage released a graphic that looked at who various television show fans “like” for President. I decided to follow up with that to look at who comic book fans on Facebook like. This looks at over 40 Facebook “like” terms like the names of publishers and other comic book terms.

The overall universe of comic fans is 79,950 individuals. Overwhelmingly they support President Barack Obama over Governor Mitt Romney and Governor Gary Johnson, the other two Presidential candidates who registered in this. 79.17% support Obama, 15.62% Romney and 5.21% for Johnson.

But, did this differ at all between fans of Marvel and DC Comics?

The terms focusing on Marvel drops from over 40 to just 11. Marvel fans still support Obama, but a bit less. Instead Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson both gain. Obama comes out at 77.74%, Romney at 16.53% and Johnson at 5.73%,

DC is a bit different, first it only has 9 terms. Obama still is the most, but both he and Romney are below the overall percent with the rest going to Gary Johnson. Obama gets 78.35% of the support, Romney has 15.31% and Gary Johnson has 6.34% of the support.

Walking Dead, Star Trek and Game of Throne Fans to Vote Obama?

Posted on by

Engage, a conservative full service political digital agency, has released a graphic looking at who television show watchers are likely to vote for this November and how likely they are to vote. While fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and The Big Bang Theory all are more likely to vote for President Obama, only Star Trek fans are likely to get to the polls. C’mon fellow geeks, we need to show our strength at the polls, get out this Tuesday (if not before) and vote!
