Man this guy is like a foghorn through the haze.
I remember that article posted about the texan guy who got arrested for selling an adult comic. We have to pick a direction. Either comics can be kids stuff (in which case I'm getting off) or it can be whatever the writer/artist want it to be.
This is a definite western bias. In Japan gray haired men read sex comics on the subway. Right next to little girls reading romance comics.
You don't think Akira was created with KIDS in mind, do you?
The good news is that I think the process is inevitable. The core of comics readers left are adults and we will continue to demand things like Vertigo and Marvel Knights and expect that level of realism in our Superman and Spiderman books soon enough.

This piece is about Video Games but it shows the anxieties the comics industry is STILL in even after 80 years
