Quote: whomod said: The books in the 1st column clearly have no appeal to anyone under 30. They're written and published specifically for people like us who grew up in the 70's-80's. So they're basically like getting new episodes of any Nick at Nite show. They are the cream of the crop though in the genre of "traditional" spandex superheroics. Tailor made for an audience who likes continuity and tradition.
While there's a degree of truth to that, I happen to know that Johns' books in particular have a pretty decent under 30 audience. Particularly Flash and Titans, though it's not limited to them. I would say maybe limited appeal, maybe. But hardly "no" appeal.
