Title
Man of Steel no match for teen apathy: Comic books in decline: National Edition
Subject
Decline of Comics due to Technology
Description
Sellers identify an important issue: computer games continue to draw young men far from comic books. A lot of kids don't purchase classic American superhero books, favoring anime-inspired entertainment such as Pokemon. To attract a new teen audience, Marvel is publishing "Ultimate" publications with contemporary characters like Peter Parker revised as a Webmaster. To draw in consumers who are younger, the business is relying on blockbusters such as Spider-Man (2002) and newer television series. Also, companies are transferring comics digitally to cut expenditures and broaden their appeal.
