Well there were huge swathes of comic book collectors out there, a lot of whom based a lot of their personas, beliefs, humour and lives upon what they took from reading those comic books. Whether or not you think of comic books as healthy, there's a huge market for them.

However all of them came back and said to the industry, you know what, we really need more cock in our comics. A lot more! In fact, no women at all, just guys getting it on!

OK no that didn't happen. A bunch of gays got together, wanted to re-enact some drunken sex party where someone dressed as superman but wanted to make it accessible to kids.

That's really where we're at, isn't it?

I'm doubting whether it was due to any external pressure other than twitter bluehairs. This shit is 100% pandering to a demographic they hope to lure in. It's absolutely clueless and corporate.

I don't consider comic books healthy nor unhealthy, I just despair that it's a medium dominated by two publishers that almost exclusively do one(popular but lame) thing. It's like if literature was mainly murder mysteries.
