You’re an adult. Be an adult.

I stopped reading comic books when I was 13. However, a lot of people still limit themselves. They even, (God alone knows why.), consider them art.

I don't condemn them. Condemnation is just snobbery. Comes under my definition of "Free Speech".

They are MARKETED to children. So we've got Leftist slime actually preaching this sh!t to children.

I've got a solution, but no one likes it.

As a first responder it takes a lot to disgust me. He would make a good professor.

Its been a very long time indeed since the majority of comics were marketed to children. The market has been teens and young adults ever since the 1990s, and has skewed towards the 20s and 30s crowds as movies have become a bigger slice of comicdom.

There are child-specific titles, but they are by far the minority in the DC and Marvel catalog, and nearly non-existent in most other comic producer lines (the Harvey Comics line being the biggest exception, and some of the Archies titles though these have shifted to a more adult theme in the past 10 years).

And both DC and Marvel have gone completely over the SJW bend in the past few years. There is a growing protest movement and boycott in comic fandom over this, but the management of both Marvel and DC seem perfectly fine with shrinking markets if it means they get to peddle their warped worldview.

Comics are NOT marketed at children (even if the characters appeal to them). Children can't even find print comics for sale. Back in the day they were at convenience stores and grocery stores where kids might see them. No more. They're in direct sales shops--IF any of those are surviving.

The content is nothing like we remember from our youth. It's all very WOKE. Disney's Marvel just introduced characters literally called "Snowflake" & "Safespace."

DC isn't likely to be any better.

I do not read any new comics, but I still re-read some of my Silver-Age comics. While the over-all work may not be "art", some of the actual artwork really is. I will sometimes linger over a page just to admire the work of the artists who drew and inked the image. Some large panels, like the black & white Conan comics from the Silver Age could be framed as great examples of drawing art.
