Haha.

Now see, if Gemstone resorted to senseless violence on their covers, then 
maybe they would draw in a much larger audience! People like their senseless 
violence, after all!

I think that Gemstone just might be slightly heading in the wrong direction 
by marketing their books strictly towards children. I'm hoping that the 
prestige format books will be marketed towards adults and collectors--or Just 
About Everyone--and the "take along" books will be marketed towards children. 
But there's always the hopefully-unlikely chance of marketing the entire line 
towards children completely, ala Disney Comics back in the early nineties.

Ugh.
