Comics "Corrupting" Kids

[JLI Jesse]

For everyone in the DC area, tune into the local Fox channel for news at 11:00.

This video was playing all weekend during the football games.  It looks like complete nonsense.  I know the last guy interviewed in the preview (works at the shop I went to before I used DCBS) and it looks like he is taken out of context.  Sigh, it's like Fredric Wertham is back from the dead and still crusading against the "Seduction of the Innocent."

Which kids do you honestly see buying comics these days?  There are more adults in the stores. 


I wish there was all ages books, especially in regards to the popular characters, but this is much ado about nothing in regards to kids.

Someone at Bleeding Cool mentioned that the REAL news is that there is a kid in the store in the preview.  Those are hard to come by these days.

LOL! So true!  I really hate that kids cannot find comics like I used to as a kid.

Now it it only specialty shops and unfortunately the market only caters to the "older' crowd.  That is why I find the rant in the video insane.

Talk about what you honestly know and what you honestly believe in. Sheesh.
