There are several criteria, and the basics are this: A comic book without any creases, tears, chips, smudges, or other blemishes and has a shiny, colorful cover and is flat and the spine (where the staples are) doesn't have any white marks or rolling, is usually considered Very Fine-Near Mint. It is rare to find a Near Mint-Mint comic book. If a comic book has rarely been handled by anyone or only read once and treated with extra special care and bagged, can be preserved in Near Mint-Mint condition. Very Fine is the most applicable of conditions for newer comics, as they usually have at least some type of sign of having been read. Very Fine allows one minor blemish, such as a tiny spot on the cover, or minor spine wear. Very Fine has grades of Very Fine +, Very Fine, and Very Fine-, and are graded depending on the number of items I just mentioned per grade: +=1 blemish, Very Fine=2, Very Fine=3. After Very Fine, comics are graded as in degrees of Fine, just like Very Fine, with more allowances for condition wear. Fine comics have the appearance of having been read with care, and Fine is a common condition amongst comics slightly older, such as comics from the Silver Age (late 50's-60's). This is an average condition, and keep in mind that most comic book readers from this era rarely stored comics the way readers and collectors do today. Fine allows a stamp or writing in pencil on the cover and some spine wear and rolling. The next condition is Very Good. This condition is also common amongst Silver Age as well as Golden Age comics, and anyone would be hard pressed to find comics from the Golden Age in higher condition. Very Good allows several things, from spine wear, spine roll, missing staples, creases, chips, and minor stains, minor tears, and writing in pencil and pen, and stamps. It also allows some color loss and minor sun damage to covers. There's Very Good, Good, and Good-. The last two are conditions that some people don't mind, but aren't well sought by most readers and collectors, and these are Fair, and then the last being Poor. Fair makes plenty of allowances for condition, and goes further by allowing missing back and front covers, to missing pages, tears, chips, creases, larger stains, writing in pen, pencil, crayon, etc. The last is Poor, and this is a comic book that appears to have been left out in the rain or through a washing machine. Poor comics usually have extensive color loss, sun damage, missing covers, missing pages, cut-out ads, writing, creases, rolling, missing staples, etc. I hope this helps a little.

That being said, not all comics are for kids. The medium of comics has come a long way since it’s early days. Now, a lot of comics portray different types themes, ideas. These themes can be very mature. Not everything comic-books-related is just for children anymore. But that’s not to say that the artists don’t draw comics for children anymore. In fact, I have compiled a short list of five comics for kids.
