Comic Book Resources (0.88) sits at one peak of Image Comics' two-peak audience shape, with Dark Horse Comics (0.87) anchoring the other — and the gap between them is narrow enough that the audience genuinely straddles both. Together they define the structural core: a comics-native readership that follows both the publisher and the press that covers it.
The shape is two-peak, and the two poles are meaningfully different in kind. Comic Book Resources is a website — a media channel — while Dark Horse Comics is a fellow book publisher, the only other Book Publisher in the top 10. That distinction matters: the audience overlaps as strongly with comics journalism as with a direct publishing peer. IDW Publishing (0.79), also a Book Publisher, appears further down, confirming the same-kind pull, but the top two slots belong to a website and a competitor publisher in near-equal measure.
Beyond those peaks, the remaining neighbors are a cross-kind spread: Adult Swim (0.82) and FUSE TV (0.79) as TV Channels; Rosario Dawson (0.82) and Zack Snyder (0.81) as an Actor and an Artist respectively; Valiant Comics (0.80) as Entertainment; Lionsgate (0.80) as a Film Studio; Fandango (0.79) and IMDb (0.79) as additional channels. The cluster reads as comics-and-film-culture broadly — not a single-genre silo.
The two-peak structure reveals an audience that is simultaneously loyal to the publisher category and deeply embedded in the media ecosystem that surrounds it.
