Does it matter?

Marvel and DC need to make their titles more all ages friendly, if they want to make more money.

But he does make a good point I mean those super heroes have to at one point or another get horny I mean they are people when you get right down to it so why is it they've never implied at least in text about masturbation even if as an attempt at light humor between colleagues.

1.Obviously it matters to the OP because he asked.

2.That's retarded.The average comic reader is 17 or older.If all age friendly comics sold,Marvel and DC wouldn't have resorted to making their comics more mature.

I agree with the all ages thing, have a separate line like Marvel does, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I shouldn't be afraid to give a Teen Titans comic to a child...

When the companies make their comics more "mature" it makes me not want to buy that title any more.

 

I'm not saying dumbing them down to make them all ages. Just more like they used to be.

 

I know many parents will not allow their children buy comics that are more "mature"

 

Many older comic collectors have stopped buying them, because of the price increases and higher cost of living.

 

Making comics all ages means more people can buy them and the prices can drop.

 

The comic shop I used to go to has lost a lot of their regulars.

It would only make sense to make the main titles all ages.

Maybe you don't but alot of people do. Its not a statement of quality about a comic whether or not it contains "mature" or "youth" or even "all ages" material, its a matter of taste on behalf of the creators who make them and the readers who buy them.
To say that mainstream titles should be for all ages is a biased and inaccurate view when the "mainstream" isn't really one collection of people. Its a huge number of people whose interests sometimes intertwine to make distinct groups and demographics, not all of whom share your view on what should be the common level of "taste" in the industry.

Frankly, if i couldn't read a comic book where a small girl violently dismembers a group of hoodlums with a samurai sword every once in a while...i would go insane."

"4.Marvel has several titles geared toward kids...THEY DON'T SELL WELL."

now that's a interesting question but dc comics are made for children with  the exception of the joker of course

That's what Vertigo and MAX titles are for.  Buy those titles.

Unless you want comic companies to fold altogether.  I would hope that's not what you want.

"

1. Yeah, I'm aware of the economy, however, I still think that's a lot of money. Your point, further supports my statement in my book.
2. I bought comics as early as 12 years old or less. My first comics were handed down to me from my uncle. That's around the age of 9. You may right about the majority of kids not purchasing comics, but that may be due to not earning enough money, or spending their allowances on something else kid-ish.

that's why in my first post I said like marvel

DC used to do it a lot with mainstream titles in the 90's with Robin, Impulse, Superboy, Young justice, etc.

Now for some reason they make it for people like 5 years old, tiny titans is actually good (wouldn't spend time there though) but the joker are mostly for teen titans fans and grown-ups

You may be right about that too. Being the individual and isolationist I am, I wouldn't have known that and that makes me (and those like me) an exception. I still think most people like comics. Not with the same degree of enthusiasm, but on some level. When I tell people my hobbies, reading comics, they laugh and then say they use to do that. I usually assume they did before becoming adults, with all the rewards and drawbacks that come with it, like siring children, they probably just lose interest. However, I never asked if this is the case. Do you have any proof that the majority of comic readers are 17 years old and up? What is the ratio between adults and children who purchase comics and opposed to just reading them? Do you think there is a way to figure it out?"

Do I have any proof that comic readers are 17 years old and up? None that I could show you.I know people who work at comics shops and who have interacted with people in the industry.I met Brian Reed the writer of Ms.Marvel.They all are aware of the same thing.Kids don't read comics.I don't know what the ratio is between adults and children who purchase comics is but I can tell you that even comics geared toward children are bought more by people in my age bracket rather than children."

HAHAHA This topic has officially been derailed.
But honestly though, i would never have thought that wonder woman being a virgin would play such popular role in her canonity.

I agree.I like Tiny Titans and I read Marvel Adventures even though it's directed at kids.I just feel like now isn't a good time to be experimenting with the market.DC should continue to sell books to the people they know for a fact will buy the books.Marvel doesn't have to worry as much because they make more money but with the economy the way it is i'm not so sure they can keep certain books out there if they aren't going to move any units."

I feel a big sales drop for marvel with the prize rise"

for what I heard sales are already falling considerably and that's for titles with regular prize

the prize increase starts next month I believe

When it comes to the modern price of a comic, i always thought warren ellis's attempt with Fell to lower the average cost of an issue was a heroic one.
