This week in all age comics is fresh, closely followed by girl power. By that I mean when I look at the new comics for young readers I see lots of titles that are either brand new to the medium or ones that they’ll know from television. Some weeks the new releases have a good number of classic titles-and while there are a couple older characters in books this week they’ve all got a new feel. There are also some cool comics that speak more to girls with strong characters, action, independence and intelligence.
Wait, intelligence in a comic book? Oh yes. In science fiction and action this week Doctor Who (the 9th Doctor) issue 1 in his own ongoing series starts as he masters time, space and teaching folks about English quips. Jeremy Whitley does a great job with the Princeless series and this week the Princeless Make Yourself mini-series comes out. This is issue 1 and tells the story of five female dwarves whose job it is to protect the others from dragons, just in time for a massive pink horned dragon to be seen over the mountains.
Sonic the Hedgehog #280, Star Wars Little Golden Book Force Awakens, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Adventures #9 and many others also come out.
In humor the second issue of Action Cat and Adventure Bug, Spongebob Comics #55, Scooby Doo Where Are You? #68 and others hit. One of note for those that like Lumberjanes is Golde Vance. This is a mini-series about a young girl who wants to be a detective, but factor in some of the charm that Boom! Studios has, the creators Brittney Williams and Hope Larson and this is one series that you’ll want to check out. The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on your comics. The music in the podcast is from David Szesztay over at Free Music Archive.
