The anonymity of the internet lends itself to being full of trolls and conspiracy theorists, most of whom don't actually read the comics they complain about, and simply spend their time being perpetually offended over something they don't even understand; for example, there are countless people who literally believe utterly laughable things like Steve Rogers was secretly a Nazi or that Thor was turned into a woman.

Bottom line is that comic sales are up year-to-date from last year's figures by 2.56%, despite no blockbuster issues like June 2016's Civil War II #1, which sold over $2M USD worth of copies all by itself and spearheaded the biggest single sales month in over twenty years, with Marvel accounting for 42.82% of all units and 38.54% of all dollars in June 2017.
