June 8, 2011 10:05 am @Pumatastic  Who knows with the reboot but I'm going to bet that DC still has a Young Justice comic based off the show. Maybe they are hoping fans of the show will pick up both.
June 8, 2011 9:56 am @RoiVampire  @KenOchalek  I'm getting the same 90's vibe but I'm excited about Teen Titans and I've never picked up the book before.
June 8, 2011 9:36 am While I'm excited about the reboot, I don't think it will bring in new readers. Comics haven't pulled in many new readers for at least the last generation. I'm sure sales will increase becasue of the intrigue of the reboot but those sales will come from existing comics fans.

Ron is onto something with bringing in new talent from outside the field. I don't think Pegg, Fillion, Smith, or even Stephen King will bring in a entire new generation of comics readers but it's a start. I think both Marvel and DC need to target younger readers. Most comics fans are in there 20's and older. They need to go after the kids to ensure longevity. I bet most of us on this site picked up our first comics as a kid and began reading. Now is the perfect time to get kids into comics. With all the comics on the big screen it should be easier to get kids to pick up comics.
June 8, 2011 8:24 am Won't be sold on it until I hear about who is cast.
June 8, 2011 8:11 am I never picked up Northlanders I was always planned to pick it up in trade. I'd say Vertigo's biggest books are Scalped and American Vampire. If those wrap up with no suitable replacements, I wouldn't doubt if Vertigo folded back into DC.
June 3, 2011 8:25 am The art was good but I hated that he made the GLs look like the ones in the upcoming movie.
