When was the last time you saw a kid in a comic book shop? More often than not, when you'd peer into a place like Druid's Keep or Comic Odyssey, you’d see yuppies, oldies and the occasional curious teen — mostly dudes around 22 or 23 all the way up to 50-year-old men. You’d be hard-pressed to find a child with wide-eyed wonder flipping through the pages of a comic book, all excited about what’s going to happen to his favorite hero next, inside a hobby shop like I used to do when I was younger.
No, you’d find them most probably at the video game store, the arcade or the Internet cafés, enjoying their Facebooks and Twitters.
How did a medium specifically designed for kids end up being ignored by them, by the original target market? I guess it started when the kids who first started picking up those comics started growing older.
