How are modern 'boy comic' concepts being reinterpreted or expanded in contemporary media, beyond traditional print comics?

Modern 'boy comic' concepts are frequently reinterpreted through webcomics, digital-first series, and integrated multimedia franchises. Many popular shonen-esque stories now originate as webtoons (e.g., *Solo Leveling*) before print. Video games often draw heavily on 'boy comic' tropes, offering interactive hero journeys. Animated series (anime, Western animation) continue to be a major outlet, expanding on beloved titles or creating new ones with similar thematic underpinnings but often with more nuanced character development and broader appeal, sometimes even subverting traditional gender roles.
