yeah, now I think this could have been avoided. Any sane comic store owner would read the comics beforehand to determine its rating, thereby giving them an excuse to open one of every comic in the shop and keep it for... Archival purposes. 'Course, I'm a rather jaded individual, so I'd just put it aaaaallll in the kid's section one day and call it a clerical error
"Yep, that cover looks very kid friendly. With all thoes cute little skulls, what could go wrong?
Oh, horrible violence, well atleast is not- OMG BOOBIES, WHAT KIND OF ABOMINATION IS THIS? HOW COULD THEY EVEN THINK ABOUT SHOWING THE HUMAN ANATOMY?????"
I hate soccermoms.
You would think sex ed classes would be the obvious answer. Except parents can opt out of them. And then there is homeschooling. And Unschooling. So yeah.. not really the answer to our problems it should be. Sadly
I would gladly make participation in sex ed mandatory nationwide. Worldwide, if I could (since the countries that have the biggest problems with overpopulation and AIDS are third-world shitholes). There's still nothing unreasonable about keeping kids who aren't old enough to take those classes yet from "learning" about sex "from the streets," as they say.
From the cover she should of figured out that her 10 year old brat of a kid wouldent like blood and violance and why did he tell her? I would of been like sweet got to show this to my friends
What's wrong with this kid. You don't tell your mom when you get a chance to look at boobies. You cherish it and look at it while mom isn't home. Well then again it was a 80's comic but still its boobs man. On a serious note why are boobs bad but yet violence is ok?
That kid is really moral. A lot of kids his age would've been like, "Cool!" and bought the whole series. Nice to see not all kids are pricks these days.
You'd think the comic would have a damn warning on the cover. -_-'

makes sense that a kid named Sheldyn (which is even worse than Sheldon because the mother decided to spell it with irritating originality) would run to his mommy after seeing boobs... a normal child that isnt homeschooled and combs his own hair would probably have kept it a secret and looked at it frequently for the next year
But seriously? Why didn't he keep the comic? Would have made more sense than to tell an over-reactive parent who would go on to tell the news about boobs in a COMIC BOOK, it's just dots on some paper ¬_¬

Isnt the spectre the avenging angel who can summon anything to kill his "enemies" like putting them in a giant blender and laughing or something? but oops, he apparently summoned a boob....
When I was a tyke, I picked up a (I assumed to be) an average manga that my mother had once gotten for me from our local library. The comic was alright, but it included the word "Whore" (which I didn't know what it mean) and a nude-but-censored picture of a female character. My mom flipped out, but I never made the news...
This is one of these cases where I blame everybody.
(Not to be taken really seriously)
I blame the kid for taking the cowards way out and call his mom.
I blame the mom for taking the odd way out and call the news instead of taking it to the store owner.
I blame the store owner for slipping up.
And finally I blame everyone who thought the comic was 'family friendly'. I mean just look at it. It looks and sounds like a mature comic. How come no one was suspicious of this?
I agree on that last part. Comic books have lost some of there popularity.
I'm not saying they aren't good, God no, The Amory Wars and the Punisher are my favorites. I'm simply saying they're not as popular as they were in say like the 50's or something. As a result of that, comic book artists are usually targeted at an older, more "mature" crowd, and can usually get away with that kind of stuff. I think they have to have mature ratings and stuff like that, but it was a compilation, so maybe not. either way, its the soccermom "Oh my baby, my baby! Now I have to send you to Nebraska to be reprogrammed to stay pure until you realize that I'm being over defensive about everything, which means everyone else on the street can't have fun, so they have to sit inside and try to avoid being sued by me."
