See if you can fill in the blanks and guess what creator and title this little review is about. I’ll post the link to the full review later, but here’s a hint: despite what it looks like, it is NOT George Lucas…’cause he doesn’t write comics. Have fun guessing!
And then there’s the fact that it just feeds into a stereotype of ______ - ______’s gone on record a bunch of times talking about how superhero books should be all-ages - meaning, for example, like with his Superman - a kid (say, oh, 9 - 15 - that level kid) can read it and you know, it’s guys in tights beating the crap out each other. An adult can read it and understand ideas of, say, why a man with god-like powers doesn’t just enslave humanity and have his pick of the women and destory art that offends his delicate sensibilities, etc. “All-ages” doesn’t mean crap for little kids. That’s what a lot of ______’s detractors took it to mean, and sadly, that’s what ______ is - crap for little kids. Except, I can’t imagine a kid getting into this - if I were a kid and I read a story about a kid who ran around pointing his finger and going “P-Kow” I’d just feel sorry for him. Wonder if he was, perhaps, retarded or something.
