WWE Kids

There is the McDonald’s kiddie attitude out there in the publishing world that if you hook them young you can have them for life as customers.  WWE is always seen as kid’s fare at best with their convoluted controlled violence for the masses. They publish also magazines about their famous brands Raw and Smackdown, and now they are in talks and preparing for a new magazine for kids only. They are talking with comic book writers and illustrators to create a new magazine for kids, most likely it will be called WWE Kids. Nothing new since many adult version magazines have gone this route to increase future readership. Now WWE is no stranger to the comic world because most of the characters they create for their shows are based on comic  book characters and have a rich tradition of emulating real life heroes and sometimes they get in trouble with the law to keep such standards because the industry is is littered in steroids and exemplary hero worship is murky at best because of hidden demons these wrestlers go through a rigorous daily grind of travel and bodily injury. I am a firm believer that anything a kid reads is good for his future, better than not reading. What standards and practices will WWE have with the new magazine? Let’s hope it’s of quality and explain the true world of wrestling to a degree.
