The "Johnny DC" line is not enough. I would love to see many mainstream comic books that are available for all-ages to read and enjoy. Boom Studios has titles featuring Disney characters, Dark Horse has its Harvey Comics reprint line, and Archie Comics continues to sell in my comic-book store. But what about DC? Sure, they have books based upon whatever cartoon is appearing at the time, but why is there nothing, literally nothing, that I feel is appropriate for children in the DC "New 52". How many years now has it been that Superman has been depressed and mopey, hunted by the police and military, and distrusted by the public? Last month's issue of "Superman," where a possessed duplicate/clone(?) of Superman murders prisoners and throws a reporter to his death left me feeling irritable and very sad that a great hero and role model for children has come to this. Sure, I know it wasn't the "real" Superman, but can you imagine a child picking up that issue, reading it, and feeling as horrible as I did? I have been reading the Post-Crisis Byrne reboot of Superman from 1986 and the Perez Wonder Woman reboot from 1987, and what a difference! Audiences for comic books sure have changed over the years. I know DC is after the coveted 18-35 male demographic, but here's a news flash to DC: If you make an effort to create and market more comic books for children, they and their parents will buy them! Children, both boys and girls, love superheroes. But the product actually has to be on the shelves first!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-34519360608415771752012-02-20T08:40:43.773-05:002012-02-20T08:40:43.773-05:00Looks like a great little book.

I'll be interested to see how far merchandising tie-ins stray from the classic looks and feels as time passes.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
