I'll look into it this weekend. I actually find it sad that all the kids comics are TV show tie-ins for DC. I like the Justice League Unlimited books that they put out and stuff but it's just too bad that they don't do a nice middle ground kind of book for the kids who are in the 7 -10 year old range. Regular Batman is a little too much and a character like Captain Marvel would be great because he's due for a little more of an update. You can still keep him kind of cheesy but give him some balls (not Kingdom Come balls but you know what I mean) to hit that perfect sweet spot for the kids who aren't to little. They kind of need a normal comic book. Like Spiderman was when we would have been really young. Not too over the top but not too childish.

The first issue came out a few weeks ago, and it's really, really good. It's the first comic in a while from DC that's not only A) Good, B) not a tie-in to a tv show or other merchandise line and C) might actually appeal to someone who started reading comics AFTER Secret Wars 2.
