4. Myth: “All Ages Means ‘For Kids Only’.”
The Truth:
You wouldn't think I'd have to explain this one.
“All ages" means it's for"¦ALL"¦AGES. From birth to death. But a lot of people dismiss that stuff as kiddie faire.
And if you do that, you are missing out. Thor: The Mighty Avenger was All Ages as well as being the best Thor comic of the 21st century (opinion). Takio is wonderful as a teenage superhero standalone. Those Marvel Age and Marvel Adventures comics are really fun throwbacks to old-school Marvel. All of "˜em are All Ages.
But, because none of those comics contain a decapitation or a rape scene, some people won't give them the time of day. Comics CAN handle serious subjects, and can do it very well, but they can also be fun and wacky. So the next time you roll your eyes at an All Ages book, maybe consider giving it a chance. It might surprise you.
