December is here and I thought that the all age comics would slow down. Alas, it’s one of the busiest weeks in a while with lots of new graphic novels, one mini-series coming to an end, a classic title coming back and a brand new one with superb lineage.
Spidey is back! The classic series from the 70’s is back at Marvel. This time Spidey is a teen, a true teen in high school trying to manage girls, peer pressure and the side effects from a radioactive spider bite. There are two trade paperbacks featuring Batman ’66, one for Ghostbusters Get Real, My Little Pony Friends Forever, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
Simpsons Illustrated #20 and Regular Show #30 come out this week. If you’re looking for a go-to basics in TV to comic book medium you should dig into either of those.
#1 of Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons comes out this week too. The previous Storyteller mini-series told short stories about witches from all over the world. The art in that series was fabulous and it told a story that could be enjoyed by upper middle schoolers and above. This latest series focuses on various dragon stories. Just look at the cover to fall in love and find your new favorite comic.
