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.
I disagree. I'm 22, I only started collecting comics a few years ago, and "Flash" and "Hawkman" are two of my favorite titles, leading me to track down older issues, which I enjoy as well. I also really enjoy "The Avengers."

The latter column are good examples of writers trying to find new ground apart from the cliches, slugfests, and costumes of the past.
I can't speak for the others, but I really don't enjoy "Daredevil" anymore. It's not fun or exciting to read anymore. Bendis has some interesting story ideas, but I really don't like the execution, the pacing, or the dialogue. It kills what could potentially be a suspenseful, intriguing story that keeps me coming back for more.
I also don't like Maleev's art. The art seems sloppy and overshadowed, action sequences are dull, facial expressions are mostly expressionless or obscured by the aforementioned tendency to overshadow them - heck, sometimes I can't even tell who's supposed to be who!
Of course, that's just me. But I know I'm not the only one my age who feels this way.
