😐I'm not talking about rewriting current, straight, characters to make them gay, i'm saying that there is a place in comics for characters of every sexuality.... hell.... Authority is one of the best books i've started reading in recent years

um, I highly doubt that'll happen in anything except a farce....and a tasteless farce at that. Most comics handle it well...the Authority is a great example. But if you're that worried about it, they probably aren't for you anyway.
I honestly don't think any nine year old should be reading comics with sexual references or graphic violence... imagine a nine year old reading, say for example, identity crisis...
"What is doctor light doing to sue dibny?"
I know its not the same as content referring to sexual preference of a character, its just an example...
i'd rather any nine year old reading comics does it to see their favourite hero beating the bad guys, not to see logan skewer spiderman, sexual assault or a character mulling over their sexuality...
I think its best to wait till they at least hit their teens...

Right...I agree. But that's more about what parents should allow their kids to read. It has nothing to do with what is acceptable for comics. Most comics shouldn't be read until kids are teens. Others, like the Authority for example (for both more violence than usual and sexual references) probably even a little later.
But it's the parents responsibility to monitor this stuff, not the comic companies' responsibility to neuter their comics so that its acceptable for everyone.

Oh, i agree... i was just writing that from the 'if i was a parent' point of view...
I think as adults, we should have the ability to read whatever we like...

That's why we still have Archie out there and back issues.
My wife reads comic books but before she started dating me she never even considered them.
Then she met Nightwing. It's been a downhill slide for her since then. At first it was a task to get her to name every member of the FF but now she only gets confused when I start talking about Tombstone, Ulik, the Vanisher and any other fairly elusive villain. Pretty soon she'll be on par with my brother and I.
Oh! And my wife is hot. 😉
But I'm not a nerd. Actually, we fell in love while I was the Head Director of a Drama team based out of Indiana.

That's kinda how it was with me a first. I was like why do I care and then my ex turned me on. But after we broke up I haven't really read any. 😬

Awwww. Why not? Go to the library. Sometimes they carry really good stuff.
oh i can take, i didnt even feel the first one, and i wasnt even looking, all of the sudden i looked up, and a fist came at me.
not that i did anything to provoke it.......
Me? I didn't hit a bully unless I had solid evidence against them. Then I let them know why I was going to hurt them, or humiliate them. Whatever works. Something tells me that you aren't really that bad a bully though. Even though you do rep Thanos.

Awwww. Why not? Go to the library. Sometimes they carry really good stuff.Well you dunderhead! Have you ever heard those stories about guys in the West? YOu know. They go around claiming they're the fastest guns in the West and everyone wants to take a shot at them. You are a self proclaimed bully. If you go around saying you can take people on then someone is going to come shooting at you.
