David Barnett, Guardian; Kapow! The unstoppable rise of female comic readers:

"Much of the growth in female comic readers can be put down to the fact that there are far more women working in comics these days – Gail Simone, Kelly Sue DeConnick, G Willow Wilson, Tula Lotay, Ming Doyle, to name a handful. And comic books from Marvel and DC featuring women characters are proliferating – for instance, the all-female Avengers A-Force, Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Catwoman, Spider-Woman and the forthcoming Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat.

There is also the rise of digital comics, which can be bought from home without having to step foot across the threshold of the local comic shop."
