Marvel beats Star Wars in poll of The Biggest Fandoms

Comic Con starts TODAY in San Diego, and so the “Hollywood Reporter” conducted a poll on comics, superhero movies, and pop culture.  Marvel was the most popular ‘fandom’ in the poll.  They surveyed 2,200 people, and 63% said that they’re fans of Marvel, which is incredible.  15 years ago, 63% of people may not have even known what Marvel was, let alone been actually INTO it.
