"You Know, For Kids!"

We get these Marvel freebie sampler comics all the time. We toss them right near the cash register and just hope that people take them with them as they go. I don't know why we just don't throw them in the garbage, but some people like them (especially parents who want to get away with getting their kids a comic-shaped book that costs them absolutely nothing).

The MOON KNIGHT SAGA, until recently for me, was no different. Just another one of those filler comics that could, maybe, potentially lead to someone actually buying...I dunno...a MOON KNIGHT trade.

So hey, remember how I mentioned how this sort of thing parents love to grab for their kids? And there should be no problem with this as the book is rated "A" for "Appropriate for ages 9 and up", right?*

My friend Lawrence picked this up while he was waiting for me to finish ring out at the end of the day, started to laugh, and showed me this particular image from it.












I guess I can start giving away PREACHER to the kids too! Well, I think ol' MOON KNIGHT SAGA is going to find itself in the garbage pretty quick...

*Parents get pretty freaked out by the "A" on the front of comics...something like this probably wouldn't alleviate any fears either. Seriously, "A"? "For ALL, Silly! Not Adult. Or Anal."
