Well if the books are there to appeal to all generations why is there a separate line aimed at kids or a ratings system in place at all? Surely all the books, all the time should be available to all audiences. You're making the distinction on your books, it's reasonable to assume that a book rated T+ has a more adult audience who'll relate to older characters than one that's aimed at the all ages/young reader friendly market, isn't it?
Boy, the dance you’re trying to do here to justify getting what you want is a marvel of contortions. Not every book needs to appeal to every reader. but the fact that we live in a world in which there are routinely Batman and Superman movies to which no responsible parent can take a child indicates quite clearly that something is broken. And the fix isn’t to create stories of flying men in tights that only appeal to forty-year-old men–that’s the buggy whip solution. In the same manner that movies and television programs have ratings and create a wide variety of material for a diverse audience of different ages, the same is true of comics. But suggesting that having a ratings system implies that the characters should age is simply, what’s the word? Ridiculous!
