So this news is a month or so old, so I apologize if you've heard it, but if you've not:

A Nielsen survey showed that

"70 percent of the survey's 5,336 respondents were already fans, with only 5 percent completely new to buying comics, and 93% were male. What's more, only an estimated 2 percent were younger than 18 years old."

Direct quote is from this summary article.

Imagine! Comic books designed nearly entirely by and for and marketed toward adult males who like to read comics continued to attract adult males who like to read comics.

Also this just in: a recent survey shows the sky frequently appears to be blue.
