KYMERA PRESS, A WOMAN-OWNED, WOMAN-RUN COMIC BOOK COMPANY!
Kymera Press is one of the first women-owned comic book publishers in the industry. We are dedicated to amplifying the voices of women writers and artists and to creating comics with strong female protagonists that resonate with all readers while showcasing the incredible talent of women in the comic book world.
Recent research has revealed a significant evolution in the demographics of comic book readers. Women now represent about 28% of the readership, a substantial increase that reflects their growing presence in a traditionally male-dominated space. This shift aligns with broader trends in the entertainment industry, acknowledging the increasingly vocal and influential role of female fans.
Interestingly, this change is not isolated to the comic book world. Women are becoming more prominent in geek culture, actively participating in fandoms, conventions, and even crowdfunding campaigns for independent comics. This increased engagement presents a substantial opportunity for publishers to cater to a more diverse audience.
Given this context, Kymera Press’s focus on female creators and realistic portrayals of women is not just timely, but also strategically aligned with current market trends. By championing underrepresented voices and challenging industry norms, Kymera Press is well-positioned to appeal to the growing demographic of female readers, who are eager for more inclusive and varied storytelling in comics.
Join Kymera Press in celebrating comics and the women who adore them. And to those who keep telling us that we are bound to fail, “We’re not asking for permission …”
