There's more of them than there are of us
The theme for this week seems to be driven by Monday's article. Don't worry, this isn't another long essay, it's just a quick point.
You know how Mike has written about people unfamiliar with major superheroes save their name, costume and some of their powers (if that)? That's who DC and Marvel have to target with their books. The best of the "adventures" books have proven it's possible (Batman Adventures, Superman Adventures) and it looks like All-Star Superman could do the trick. More of these kinds of books wouldn't be a bad idea either. Granted a huge part of that problem comes from the availability of books. A comic can be chock full of fun, continuity-free, done-in-one goodness but won't mean anything if non-comic readers can't get their hands on it. That's a whole different problem and one that's been tackled by greater minds than mine.
There's a whole lot of people out there who think Superman is cool enough to be a sticker on their car or a t-shirt to wear but are hardly experts on the subject. Lord knows they've probably bought worse crap (a glance at the Billboard charts will prove that) so this certainly isn't an impossible task.
