Two graphic novels lines were revealed in 2018 the DC Zoom imprint for middle grade readers and the DC Ink for young adult readers. DC is hiring for a new division targeted at young readers, and has already done a bit of a stealth launch by publishing youth-friendly takes on their fabled characters like Supergirl: Being Super and DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis". According to Milton Griepp of comics-industry analysis site ICv2, aggregated annual comics sales across different kinds of retailers for 2016 revealed that more than half of the top-ten comics franchises were ones aimed at kids. Abruptly, the most important sector in the world of sequential art has become graphic novels for young people. Abraham Riesman, for Vulture, highlighted a shift in audience for graphic novels that didn't have to do with either Marvel or DC Comics Riesman wrote that "shift was the result of decisions made by librarians, teachers, kids’-book publishers, and people born after the year 2000. In 2017, DC Comics announced that a new untitled young readers imprint would launch in 2018.
