As I type this 16 of 60 votes are 33-36. 26%. In all 60% are aged 30-40. Does this go some way to answering the target audience question someone recently posted?

Target audience for what? the new comics that we all hope are coming out? Not sure if that would be wise to use that data to start the new line..

If we want the new line to survive we may need to concede to something different than what we truly want.. that will be frustrating for many of us. We know what we want for the most part, but what we want may not work for what is needed to be successful in todays market.. Im sure that Dino and Co. will do thier very best to make this company successful. Im prepared to not have all the items on my 'want list' met when they start this thing back up. Im sure these guys are in the same boat as us. They want the magic of the 90's books as well as the magic of what is working now. The new books will be a bit different.. lets hope they will be near what we all fell in love with.

The original VALIANT magic has come and gone.. lets hope they can start their own with the characters we love. "It's a kind of magic!"

37..............but most kids half my age can't keep up. Eat right, work out, and avoid McDonald's whenever possible. I've noticed with age that I have to run and mountain-bike more often to keep the weight off however :oops: .

Gen X.. hmm.. im not sure what the official years of Gen X are...

Oh wait.. Ill check the ALL KNOWING Wikipedia!..


According to our Wiki friend, GenX is anyone born from 1960 - 1978. Wow, that seems strange.. I was thinking it would be 1975-1985.. or something like that..

Well.. I consider myself an Gen X'er but one that is on the older side..Ive always considered Gen X'ers to be younger then me.

For those Image fans out there, at the Gen-X Wiki page there is a nice explanation for Gen-13.. being the 13th generation living under the US flag.

I had always read that baby-boom went to '63 and that's when Gen X started...so like '63 to '78...sounds about right :thumb:
