....Marvel does comics now....?
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.

bat cycle you are a new member so you don't know CTC's sarcasm at work - I'm sure you would have heard inflection in a real conversation.
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)Comment

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!Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Spectacular Spider-Man looks pretty good. Here's a dumb question, when is that debuting on the Kids WB?
I don't really spend a whole lot of time on the main sites - http://www.dccomics.com, Iron Man, Spider-man, The Hulk, the X-men, and all things Marvel. Marvel news, movies, comics, and video games., or the Kids WB, or Cartoon Network sites.
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!Shameless self-promotion -

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...."
