That's just it. Even if it's $100 billion a year (and I'm skeptical of that figure - seems overreported), I'm not talking about everyone who's ever spent money on porn; I'm talking about just the ones who fetishize comic books enough to spend money on it.
Now juxtapose that with Greg Rucka's remark. Suppose he's right; 250k buyers of the bestseller. If there's ten times that audience for all comics in general, 40% of them would have to be into comics fetish, including the violent stuff.
Again, you might be right - but it seems a bit much, based on my Fermian analysis.
Re: portrayal - isn't WW supposed to be an emissary, feminist figure from her people? Not a sex vamp, though she's drawn that way. I don't know deep details of Marston's depiction, but that's generally what I've seen in all the comics I've happened to read. I find it hard to believe that women in general were all made out as overt sex kittens (the 90s notwithstanding).
