They haven't been for years. Teenagers are. Kids are the target fish to bite the flashy spandex lure, and only until they're in their teens will they be able to afford comics for any amout of leisure. Teens-early 20s are the new money market.

It's very well drawn, but I don't think we can give this to kids, who are our new readers. Need "mature" always mean gory, violent, or (but not in this case) over sexed. Not to say I don't like all these things in comics (sometimes) but this is DC. People take their kids to DC for Superman and Batman, who kids love. This is just more of the same... another mistake, but hey, I'm sure there's someone out there ready to tell me I'm wrong. I just thought this is what we've been trying to fix. Re: the above art.

Bad grammer on my part. And i mean, Gaiman in general, and Bendis’ Daredevil run as seperate entities. Bad grammer on my part.

They only read trades. And they are starting to read Gaiman and Bendis' Daredevil. Frank Miller is the current king of Hollywood. America is finally starting to understand that sequential art can be viewed as mature literature. And with Myspace sensing which way the wind is blowing, things have nowhere to go but up. This is a fantastic sign for the comics medium. Myspace Cred! Hipster kids read anything Miller, Moore, or Morrison.
