The Graphic Novel and Comic Books

I think the popularity of comic books among different age groups is because there are so many different overtones in most of the comics. Like all literature they are very subject to interpretation and different age groups see different things. Take the Xmen comics. Older people see them as revolutionaries and fighters of social injustice. Younger people see them as outcasts going through changes society doesn't understand. Even the glbt community can look at them as people not quite understood but seeking acceptance.
