Seeing my son’s eyes and excitement when he saw a comic with Miles on the cover during his first trip to our LCS would lead me to believe they would. My son still pretends he’s Peter Parker every day but Miles is a top 2 or top 3 superhero for him Miles already had a solid fan base amongst younger readers before Into the Spiderverse, but it seems to be off the charts now.

Ken Aldred Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Miles and Kamala are great characters and have highly-readable stories, whether for a teenager or a fiftysomething like me. Nothing wrong with the comics. Some of the best mainstream of the past decade or so. Deservedly popular.

Look, I know Marvel has received a lot of heat from older fans for introducing a ton of new and different characters over the last decade, and I understand where these people are coming from, but kids are enjoying these characters, books and other media. Many of these characters and their life experiences are relatable, which is what made Marvel a success in the 60s. It's also what is going to keep Marvel pumping out comics, IMO. There is a lot of runway with these kids. Just an observation from watching my kids and others in my neighborhood - There are a few DC properties that kids enjoy and are accessable to kids - Lego Batman, Teen Titans Go, and Super Hero Girls (kinda), but nothing on the scale of what Marvel is doing. Also, DC isn't really offering up any new characters that kids seem to go crazy for. I see far more kids dressed up as Ghost Spider/Spider-Gwen than I do Harley Quinn or Punchline. DC has put out some great reads over the last five years, but it has been at the expense of generating new/younger readers. They need to do both. DC had a stable of characters/titles such as Static and Batman Beyond that came long before this new age of Marvel characters, but unless DC sticks the landing with these characters, it's going to look like a ham handed, formulaic rip off of Marvel.

Qalyar Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Clickbait. Yes, I expect some pretty brutal title contraction from DC. This won't be the first time one of the major publishers has slashed their title list, not will it be the last. DC has made some unforced errors over the last few years but I don't think anyone is sticking the fork in them quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t that also require the new boss to be a visionary with an idea for a direction in comics that would be quite novel and have a greater, mass market appeal, despite critics claiming that all we have now from DC is lazy, safe, tiring repetition of old story ideas? I’d be impressed if a saviour on that level appeared again, I really would. Edited November 25, 2020 by Ken Aldred Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would require someone who wanted to try something new, who didnt care if it worked or not because they are cancelling everything anyway. It would be some nobody with more talent than the pros, of which there are quite a few of, BTW, who will never ever manage to break into comics. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
