As far as demographics go, I would say that there's probably more younger people lately than there was for awhile. Many of my customers are the same people they've always been (for 30 years!) but the overall demographic has always been a range of ages. Not many kids, though. That's because they don't really make comics for kids, do they?
Which is a shame, because they used to.
It meant they couldn't get too adult with their comics (X-men being written today having 3 ways for example...that's just a wee bit more than I really want to read in a comicbook...I like things a bit tamer) back then as they were appealing to all sorts of ages.
Now, it seems they only appeal to those who have been reading comicbooks for the past 20-40 years. The older crowd. That's the other problem. Everything relies on you already knowing what's going on as well as what is happening in other comicbooks. You can't just subscribe to your favorite (I mean...you can...but you'll miss half of what is going on) comicbook. Crossovers started to happen in the 80s, got crazy in the 90s, died a little bit in the early 2000s, and now have gotten wacko.
They lost perspective of why the general audiences read comicbooks instead of the hardcore aficionados...IMO.
