The Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie is one of my favourite comic books. But it turns out that, as a reader, I am in a minority.

But then again, so is everyone. However, even if you were to add Heterosexual and I'd Rather Not Say together, that's 38.9%.

This is the sexuality breakdown of readers of the comic, as measured by a Google poll of over 1500 readers, promoted in the comic itself, which is probably as close to a scientific study as you are going to get. Though as they say " 70.2% of those who responded having read Phonogram (our other indie book) implies this really is core. We've seen the sales figures. 70.2% of WicDiv readers don't read Phonogram."

Other statistics include gender…tumblr_inline_oaip8ojdj61r77eon_500

Age… oh bloody hell I'm a really old reader of The Wicked + The Divine.tumblr_inline_oailz4wtI01r77eon_500

And the amount of money spent on comics. Turns out I'm a really rich reader of The Wicked + The Divine.tumblr_inline_oaimdkbd0U1r77eon_500Plenty more statistics can be found here. Including that they all love Florence + The Machine as well… and none of the readership have seen how pumped Kieron has got of late.
