American comic problems

I think trying these kiddie comics like Teen titans is the wrong idea, because, especially with the look of Teen Titans, you run the risk of it looking too kiddy, and you certainly won't have people grow up with Teen Titans like people grew up with Spiderman or Batman or Daredevil. The story is too simple, the artwork isn't anything special(and looks VERY kiddy), so even if kids get into it they'll drop it as they grow up. Stan Lee never had to talk down to his audience, and I think that's the way to go. I could be wrong, but it at least FEELS to me like there are more people buying manga than superhero comics right now and maybe its because they don't try to talk down, and well, that grown up alternative just doesn;t seem as clear. Especially when you have like 3 Spiderman series runnign at the same time. I have NO CLUE what Spiderman I want to get itno. I once had a trial subscription to Ultimate, and that was all right, but there are otehr serious problems that companies are facin and well, maybe if ya'll could give an opinion on my ideas and we could maybe discuss other problems and ideas in this thread, maybe we can come up with some stuff.

Kiddie comics, like Teen Titans Go!, is a whole other can of worms than your regular series. DC is trying to put out a line similar to what Archie does with kid friendly series. They are usually more sellable to supermarkets and places like Wal-Mart.

Go for Amazing Spiderman, as it's the best going right now, IMHO. It's had a consistent creative team for quite a while and is going in a steady direction. Spectacular Spiderman and Ultimate Spiderman bite the big one in my book, because they're not based on the original story, but a version of the movie's story. I prefer the original one, though, and others may not.
