One title which I look forward to every month is <B>Marvel Adventures: Iron Man</B>, and it is completely and utterly kid-friendly and appropriate without being dumbed down. DC really doesn't have a similar product to offer to younger readers that's not based on a cartoon property. Even the upcoming kids books like <B>Tiny Titans</B> skew a little too young for what I think you are getting at. <BR/><BR/>There's some titles out there which you could give to a kid. <B>Superman</B> is one, I think, with Busiek at the helm, which has solid fundamental storytelling mixed with a family-friendly tone, typically. But your point is well met: if the <I>Justice League of America</I> is inappropriate for kids, just what is going on here?Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741435186739357719.post-12118448935732913682007-09-18T10:16:00.000-04:002007-09-18T10:16:00.000-04:00while i thought the Wedding Special was ok, i was ...while i thought the Wedding Special was ok, i was bothered by all the adults-only material.<BR/><BR/>i'm no prude, but i think a mainstream DC book like JLA shouldnt feature the word "ass" three times and superheroes(including Batman--BATMAN!!)hiring strippers.<BR/><BR/>i'd like to see it be a bit more of an entry-level book for readers, since it features the all-stars of the DCU, but this book is aimed only at people like me, overgrown fanboys.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.com
