Are comic books still aimed at children?
>>83536603
some are, some aren't
>>83536619
I mean the mainstream ones. Are we too old to read stuff like Batman and the X-Men?
>>83536603
aren't comics aimed more towards teenagers nowadays? I never see kids in comic stores, but I always see teenagers/young adults
>>83536603
Nope. The only comic's I can say are turely aimed at children are newspaper comics and it is even normal for adults to like those. Cape comics are normally aimed at manchildren while indie comics are aimed at millennials. Political comics aim for the average joe. Maybe webcomics?

I've watched a lot of superhero films, but I've never read the comics... Guess I just want to know if they are worth reading as an adult?
Only slice of life stuff, kids like the movies but they don't read the superhero comics
Comics haven't been aimed at kids for a very long time, I mean there are still some out there like Bongo's Simpsons books and Archie, but they're few and far between
>>83536603
Batman isn't.
Super Sons is.
Teen Titans is.
Grayson wasn't.

This, stuff like Simpsons comics is what kids buy. Well it's what I used to get as a kid, so whatever the equivalent of Simpsons comics are now
>>83536639
Nope comics are aimed at teenagers to above these days, if you want children book they have some specifically aimed for them,
>>83536787
I just don't get how comics have gone from being made for 10 year old boys to being for adults.
Pic related.

The kids of then became the adults of now.

I grew up reading a lot of the Bongo titles, namely Bart Simpson and Radioactive Man. I loved Archie books and old copies of Heathcliff and Spider-Ham from Marvel's STAR line as well. Also had a couple of issues of Valiant's Super Mario Brothers 3 book from when they were just starting out, didn't discover or even care about their superhero line until much, much later
>>83536895
Most of Marvel's core readership had been college students from day one, even if it wasn't intentional
>>83536998
Yeah, but you read a comic from sometime like the 1960s and mainstream superheroes were clearly aimed at children. When did they become aimed solely at adults?
>>83537050
Kids want to read adult comics and adults want to read kids comics. When they make comics for kids adults buy them so they make comics for adults then kids buy them and so on. It's a cute little cycle.

when the CCA lost all power in the late 70's and 80's. it caused a rubber band effect of writers going out of their way to use story elements and tropes they couldn't before
No and it's killing them.
