Comics just are too expensive to target a young child audience, and as such their story lines reflect that… basically only comic hero with big money behind them aimed at kids is spider man…

On the other hand I don’t know anyone under 20 into American comics, but almost all the kids I know read tons of manga and watch a bazillion anime joints. And most of them got into it off shonen dragon ball and Naruto style cartoons that most have childish themes of friendship and hard work
