I don't remember this ever being brought up but a recent event really made me give this some thought.
A while back a friend of my sis was enaged with this guy. The guy was a comic guy like ourselves and collected a bunch of titles. Well, he and my sis' friend went differant ways but he accidently left his comic collection with her. She gave them to my sis's 3 year old son since he liked Hulk and Spider-Man.
So, he's had these comics for a while. Recently I went over there and went through some of the comics to see what stuff he had. His dad, my brother-in-law, notcied some of the titles I looked at. He became infuriated. He had no idea what his son had seen. So he looks thoruhg them and begans to sepearte the "good comics" from the "bad ones". Deadpool, Blade, Cable, X-Men, Spawn, Conan, Wolverine, The Tenth, and several other titles went straight to the dad's room in a closet. 3/4 of the collection was now in storage. Afterwards, I had conversation with him about the state of comics and how it wasn't until recently that a rating system of some kind had been approached. He had been through the problem that many older indivisuals had. Comics were for kids or so he thought and he was a little distraught to see characters with knives and guns running in a book about god guys vs. bad guys in silly costumes. Any thoughts?
