This is kind of a bizarre idea to me. I started reading comics when I was about 9 - I just picked up whatever my uncle had when I was visiting - my favorites were probably Elfquest, Teen Titans, and X-Men - and none of those were necessarily aimed at "kids".
We did, recently, buy our 5 year old nephew a Tiny Titans. He absolutely loved it. He made my husband read to him over and over again - and then he'd want to go outside and play being a Tiny Titan. I think the appeal was they looked like superheroes (which are everywhere) but his size. Plus, bright, clear illustrations with not a lot of words and quick stories. Just a guess, though, it's not like he articulated what he specifically like abut the book.
