I was never into comics as a kid, but started reading some after a podcaster I like sold me on how good they can be. I subscribed to Marvel Unlimited, and started reading the older comics (from the 40s, 50s, and 60s) They are a lot of fun once you understand the art form, but there are a lot of problematic things with them, just like any work from 80 years ago. I got into reading some of them with my 5 year old daughter, and she loves the old ones. I sometimes have to explain some things to her, and why some things we read aren’t ok, but she likes them. We also found quite a few more modern comics that are perfect for kids her age. We love reading Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur together, and we also love reading Squirrel Girl comics. We stay away from some of the more dark comics that feature the most popular super heroes. I guess my point is that there are a lot more super hero comics than just the MCU ones, and some are much more kid appropriate than others. I appreciate a world that has adult and kid comics. Why can’t we have both? One other thing I noticed with my two kids (6 and 3 now) is that what scares and traumatizes them the most aren’t the things that scare adult me the most. For example, I am way more disturbed by death than my kids. Characters dying don’t bother my kids like it does me. I think it is likely due to not really understanding what death is, exactly. They have not lost people and don’t understand the permanence. On the other hand, random things that don’t seem scary at all can scare the crap out of them. My 3 year old will want to watch the fight to the death between sharptooth and little foot’s mom in Land Before Time over and over, but freaks out over the opening montage in Moana.
