I dunno; I kinda feel sorry for Marvel and DC these days: you've got to placate an older audience, while trying to pull in a younger one WITH THE SAME MATERIAL. NO easy task.
IMO DC is doing a better job roping in the kids, my son loves comics but recently if I try to give him a Spiderman comic he acts like it's "Brand X".
His last purchase was an issue of Adventure (With Aquaman, Starman and Plastic man) and he's not going by what I say because I like old Spider-man comics!

Somebody should start a thread on the online comics section of Marvel.com. Is it as good as Netflix is for movies?
I didn't think Marvel Adventures Spider-Man - or any of the Marvel Adventures titles would last more than a few issues. But here I am reading Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four 30 - and, loving it!
I can't wait for Tiny Titans and Super Friends.
Hope there's a Spectacular Spider-Man companion comic!

I shall be very proud and great.

>Like many of us he has noticed the big two put much more advertising push on their characters in other media (cartoons, movies toys etc)
Yeah, what he said... er.... I said... uh.....
Anyhoo; yeah, the comics seem to really take a back seat to everything ELSE these days. They don't even seem to be a test bed for story ideas; instead, events in the comcis seems almost... random anymore. Hence the miulti-issue-super-tie-in-NON-events they've been pushing the last few years. Sorta like how the last season of any sitcom is littered with "very special episodes...."
