answer

How do you feel about the content of comics today?

A little too focused on super hero stuff. (even though I love superheroes)

How do you feel comic have changed from the past?

Comics are trying a little too hard to be movies. I think they work best when they use the tools that are unique to comic book storytelling.

Has any of it changed for the worst?

yes, see above...

With comics like the Ultimates do you feel that comics are still for children?

No - that's a common misconception. There are some comics that are appropriate for children, but comics are certainly not *just* for children. I think there's room for all kinds of comics.

What percent of comic do you think is targeted for children?

fairly small amount these days I would think.

What do you feel is the future of comic books?

Comics need to become more engaged in digital and web means of distribution. The current model of only selling in specialty comics stores is not a good business model. I don't know specifically how - if I did I would be making a ton of money.
