Heidi Macdonald looks down the top-selling (and top free) comics on the Amazon Kindle, and reminds us yet again that there’s a massive difference between what the Direct Market looks like and the rest of the world. For example, outside of the videogame tie-in Injustice: Gods Among Us, the first superhero title on the list comes in at #15 – Far more successful are The Walking Dead and kids’ comics. As the difference between the two audiences for comics – Three, really, if you include the bookstore market – becomes more obvious, I find myself wondering, will they ever cross over more than they do? Can the Direct Market as a whole ever manage to embrace the kid audience that’s seemingly out there?
