While Marvel and DC are pulling out the stops, it's the younger-skewing titles from Dav Pilkey that may spark the most interest.

Despite all that fanfare, Jeremy Bulloch, co-owner of Houston’s 8th Dimension Comics, says that the most important thing that will be available for the day is a new sampler of kid comic superstar Dav Pilkey’s work. It’s hard to argue with him. Pilkey’s “Dog Man” series of children’s graphic novels, as well as the spin-off “Cat Kid,” is responsible for 13 percent of all comic sales period according to BookScan, and that’s not counting the books sold during Scholastic book fairs. Bulloch says he can’t keep them on the shelves.
The popularity of Pilkey and other younger reader titles does expose a divide in the comic-book community. While superhero movies and TV shows have never been bigger, they are also clearly aimed more at adults than kids. It’s unlikely that many families are watching “Moon Knight” or “Doom Patrol” together because of the mature content.
