It’s #NCBD and this week has one of our favorite all age comic books, one that should be your favorite, a couple trade paperbacks worth looking at and one book whose art and story are some of the best in the business.
Simpsons Comics comes out this week, it’s issue #224, only $2.99 and one of the most consistent all age comics-that also entertains adults, that you’ll read. Lumberjanes #19 is the comic that your young reader has been waiting for. Its art is timeless, story is relatable for children and it still provides lots of laughs for older readers.
Teen Titans Go! #12, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures #3, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess #4, Giant Days #7 and many more are released also.
Possibly the most unique title out there is Usagi Yojimbo. There is nothing like this on the market in its delivery, presentation or overall package. It’s a black and white title that’s drawn more like an old school cartoon strip with an anthropomorphic ninja rabbit. This is an all ages title that’s smart, highly creative and fun to read. The fact that it’s not in color might put off some young readers, but it shouldn’t. The content in this book is on a very high caliber, much higher than the average comic and just slightly left of center. Issue #149 of Usagi Yojimbo comes out this week and is worth taking a look at if you’re looking for a breath of fresh air in your reading habits.

I grew up with a lot of these when I was a kid: Superman, Charlie Brown, Back to the Future, TMNT, even a little bit of Archie. Glad to see the torch is still being carried for all of these!
It is very great how the titles have changed, but still have roots to their stories many years ago. These comics are great for kids, some are great for all audiences.
