comic books readers
Are comic books kid safe to read? Is there a rating body out there?

I am concerned that what my son reads in comics are too violent. If TV shows gets rated on how mature a reader needs to be then it probably needs to be the same for comic books too. Is there a site i can go to that would have this information?

I know Marvel has a rating system in place for their comics, and I believe many other comics do as well. If your son is purchasing comics in a comic shop, you should take a stroll in there as well (or a phone call) and ask about the titles your son reads. Most comic shops are run by the owners themselves and are very knowledgeable and willing to help. Or you could try google searching the titles for yourself and see what kind of hits are generated from that and judge accordingly.

Keep in mind also there are few comics a young boy could pick up that would have as much violence, nudity, or inappropriate language as a rated R movie.
