Eric’s review of assuming Legion of Superheroes was for babies is kinda what my assumption of the whole DC Universe was growing up. Before the pre-Vertigo Vertigo books (Hellblazer, Shade, Sandman) I think I’d bought about 4 DC books. To this day I have yet to read a Justice League book or Superman book. Meanwhile I’d buy pretty much anything that said Marvel on it like say Speedball or Spitfire & the Trouble Shooters. It’s funny to me how at some point (I’d guess the mid 1990s) the only Marvel fans seemed to die off a bit while the DC only folks still seem alive & well….
I think teenagers who get into comics really get behind the whole Marvel vs. DC mentality. Marvel has really positioned itself as the “realistic” and “grown-up” comic company. As those readers grow older, they begin to see the Marvel smoke-screen and it loses luster. Those that stick around realize that Marvel is not the be-all/end-all and seek out new stories and ideas outside of Marvel and DC.
I can’t explain the DC side of this equation and why some don’t move on. Marvel has those too, but the DC hangers-on seem really clingy to the universe.
