For new comic book day this week there are some cool, fresh titles in all age comics for your young reader to discover. There are also a couple classics and a vintage board game gets a Star Wars spin-or roll of the dice in this case.
In science fiction you can check out two new Doctor Who comics. These comics are OK for any age on the content, but the vocabulary is such that younger readers might not be attracted to it. Ages 9 and up should be able to read, understand, have fun with it and be their own Timelord. Godzilla: Oblivion is a new five issue mini-series that your 11 year old and up can get into because of art and monster style combat. For ages 10 and up who love Risk they can get Risk: Star Wars, which recreates the final parts of Return of the Jedi.
Superheroes this week has Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the all age comic that’s based on the Disney XD television series. The trade paperback of Super Angry Birds and a reprint of War of the Gods, a Wonder Woman story arc from the early 90’s are both great for folks who want longer form reading of their favorites.
Humor titles this week have the fifth issue of Jughead, Riverdale’s go-to hungry teen and closet romantic. Simpsons Illustrated #22 compiles three stories from Simpson’s Comics which is one of the best all age comics out there today. Invader Zim #3, Jem & The Holograms #13 and a couple other books also hit shelves this week to tickle the funny bone.
