Why can't writers let some of these characters be kids instead of somehow making every non-adult a teenager ?
While I can see some slight justification for teens, young kids just seem off to me. So for me, Power Pack as an example is just out, but Titans I can sort of accept although I do find it hard to see how Batman or especially Superman justify to themselves having these youngsters run around unsupervised, fighting killers.
The only example I have thought well handled, was the FF phase of Hickman's Fantastic Four run, with the group of children running the think tank solving everything.
Fantastic Four #6.
Written by Dan Slott. Art by Aaron Kuder.
DOOM! GALACTUS!
Ben's wedding is interrupted by Galactus' return to Earth which was orchestrated by Doom to make himself look like a hero.
Slott has kicked this title into high gear with the wedding last issue. Kuder's art is a better fit on this title. It is similar to Art Adams and Frank Quitely. This issue was mostly a set up issue for this next arc but it was so FF-ish!
8/10.
Amazing Spider-Man #13.
Written by Nick Spencer. Art and Cover by Ryan Ottley.
J. Jonah Jameson has made Spidey's life terrible over the years. However he has seen the error of his ways and has been trying to set things right. But he is paying a price. His life is a disaster... all because he is now supporting Spider-Man.
I'm glad Spencer has redeemed himself (for me) with this series (and Archie) after his Hydra Cap story. Ottley's art style has been perfect for this book.
8/10.
Pity, because I really liked most of what Slott did on the book, Superior especially.
