To: Repeat Offender

Your concern is understandable. I just don’t think that the target is there anymore - it’s moved.

Do kids read comic books anymore? With the availability of hardcore porn at the touch of a button on the damnable little black boxes we all carry now - what is the power of a pulp paper anachronism? Besides, kids don’t have to go to comic books to get that kind of indoctrination - we pay for it in spades with our school taxes. It’s written into every aspect of the curriculum.

Let’s get outraged at that instead.

Not really. While kids remain extremely interested in superheroes, they get their fill via cartoons, movies & video games.

Coming book collecting is now seen as another generation's hobby. Who else would pay $3-4/issue to get only one chapter of a story, only once a month, at a specialty store? Especially when a $25-60 video game will give them months of interactive enjoyment.

Perhaps digital comics will help re-attract kids, but the big two companies (DC & Marvel) have been slow to change with the times in that respect.
