Is it me, or are cape comics in a weiird, nebulous phase right now? They've more or less decided that they want to stop appealing to men in terms of fanservice and conventionally attractive female characters/art, but, at the same time, most of their attempts to be transgressive and distance themselves from their traditional audience are met with lukewarm commercial response.
As a result, they constantly reinvent characters, shift things up, brand and rebrand and reassign creative teams in the hopes that something sticks but without simply going back to hitting their old audience, which has remained somewhat loyal and constant despite all attempts to extricate them from the medium.
And yet, every now and then you get the Big Two throwing their older audience a bone quietly from the back entrance, as if juggling their desire for financial lucrativeness with their desperation not to be caught doing anything that flies in the face of their attempts to cater to the near nonexistent new market.
So what is it going to be? Are they going to stay in this weird semi-woke semi-familiar state where they want to have their cake and eat it too, or will there be a gradual shift towards one of the two extremes in the next five years?

Ditching your core audience for an imaginary demographic hasn't worked out well in any other media but maybe comics will be the first.
Probably just going to kill the industry in ten years time though.

it´s not just comics, tv, movies and video games are have taken the sjw pill and are despising men now. if you want to see sexy women in anything but porn. manga really is the only place left where to find it. as for your question I fear that the big two are going to continue to get more and more pc and sjw until sales are so bad that comic production get´s massively reduced. wouldn´t suprise me if in 5 years WB tells DC to only produce 5 comics each month (3 Starring Batman, 1 Superman and the other what ever hero right now has a movie coming out) And Disney will probably tell Marvel to do the same only with Spider-Man and Iron Man instead

Comic book writers grew up reading comic books.

There’s more to comics than just superheroes. Seriously, read more comics man. Superhero comics are just a genre of the comics medium
