Brian Wood hates kids...
Well... maybe he doesn't ususally, but he's pretty frustrated about the emphasis by many on getting kids to read comics. (thanks to Neil).
Well, I have to say that I really disagree with this, and made my thoughts felt in response here. My main argument is that kids reading comics are a lot more likely to become adults reading comics, and adults in general are pretty hard to reach. Plus, the whole falacy that kids just don't want to read comics has a lot of evidence to the contrary these days. Comics for kids doesn't have to mean talking to down to them, but we need more stuff that is at least appropriate to the age group and availible to where they usually shop...
