TBQH I don't understand who the target audience of Marvel and DC comics are. I mean obviously they target the nerdy kids demographic, but then they make their comics cost far too much to keep up with. By the time you have a good enough job to be able to afford the $150/month commitment, you probably don't have the actual time to keep up with reading it all. And no, the people who pirate everything are not their target audience.
