Marvel makes comics for kids, always has, always will. While countless comic companies have come and gone over the past several decades, Marvel is still churning out campy super hero stories in the year 2000. Perhaps Marvel is right. Maybe comics are just for kids. The answer is the stigmatism that goes with comics.
People think of comics as silly stories featuring men in tights.
Not by sticking to silly superhero comics like Marvel has for the past four decades. For years the standard structure of a Marvel comic book was four or five pages explaining the last few issues followed by ten or fifteen pages of the hero lamenting his past and trying to focus his determination to right all the wrongs of the world. Marvel's new comic, Marvel Boy , hopes to break this format and maybe even break down the superhero stigmatism. In hopes of pushing the limits even further, Quesada and Palmioti have recruited the controversial writer Grant Morrison to pilot the Marvel Boy project. Grant Morrison twisted the innocent minds of fanboys and fangirls all over the world with Animal Man and Doom Patrol then redefined the superhero genre with your old pals the Super Friends in JLA .
