Should All Comics be All-Ages?

Should All Comics be All-Ages?

Author: Jason Inman & Ashley Victoria Robinson January 28, 2025 Duration: 1:14:22
Should all comics be all-ages? We dive deep into the history of the medium, debate how the darker tones of the 1980s changed comics forever, and discuss whether the industry has become too niche for its own good. With special guest Diego Anthony Nunez (https://x.com/Blackcrow521), we explore how comics can invite more readers into the fold, the importance of accessibility, and whether there’s still room for both gritty storytelling and family-friendly fun in today’s market. Whether you’re a fan of the grim and gritty or the bright and hopeful, this episode will give you plenty to think about. Tune in as we imagine a future where comics can truly be for everyone!
