Try Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics. Calvin & Hobbes. Jeff Smith's Bone. Astro Boy. Superhero comics of the 60s, when they were not only good but good for all ages.

Sure, most of today's superheroes, if originally created for a broader market, are now full of torture, prurient sexuality, and other interests of stunted college-aged TV watchers. But that doesn't mean the juvenile stuff above is any good.

That Tiny Titans thing is a follow-up to Teen Titans Go, a younger skewing version of the Teen Titans, that my kids still love (along with the cartoons show). Tiny Titans will not last through any parent having to read it to the kid. Any kid who can read wants better.

I think it's an awesome idea, it seems like in today's society kids are being pushed to grow up faster and faster and their entertainment is geared towards that as well.
