Comic books used to be for kids and teens. Now it is pajamaboy homos who seem to be the primary audience.

From the 40s to the 90s comics appealed to kids, teens and adults of both genders. Note only was it smart business to cast the widest net, but it was a demonstration of skillful storytelling to serve all audiences.

Over the past fifteen years or so, the market has turned its back on kids, served up piles of left-wing slop at teens and catered to a diminishing core of liberal adults who nod appreciatively at this bisexual Catwoman. The rest of us left long long ago.

The result? The comics don’t sell. Once in a while I look at the sales figures. They are the publishing equivalent of MSNBC and that is being kind.
