In this week’s all age comic books we’ll mention some great new #1 books, as well as, the rating system that some publishers have. You’re not really buying the #1 issues just because you think they’ll be worth money, are you? I’m no investment expert, but making money off something is directly related to what a person will pay you for it. Based on that statement, current comics might not be a good investment, but they sure are fun to read.
I mention that because there are a couple great new #1 books out this week. They’re worth getting because they’re fun and really entertaining, but probably won’t appreciate enough to help you live out your golden years on an island. In humor all age comic books do yourself a favor and get Pink Panther #1. The Free Comic Book Day sampler of this title was one of the best that you could pick up and I suspect that the first issue in their regular series run will be equally as great. Each issue has a brand new story with the pink and a couple shorter classic stories that were published back in the day. Dreamworks Shrek #1 is also out from the same folks who do Madagascar, which is also out this week.
Superhero comics have Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man Contest of Champions, Teen Titans Go-Heroes on Patrol , Action Lab Dog of Wonder and two Squirrel Girl books. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl trade paperback and issue #8 are out and rated T for teens. However, this book is OK for any age reader as it traces the life of a teenager with squirrel superpowers. There’s nothing bad that happens, the language is fine, it’s just that she experiences stress, boy issues and other common teen problems.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is like that too. It’s rated T, from Marvel but tells the story of a middle school girl with her pet dinosaur, fighting crime and wormholes from other dimensions. This comic book is packed with action, fun to read and great for ages 7 and up. In other all age comic books for the action sect check out Back to the Future #8, Munchkin #17, Sonic, Welcome to Showside and others.
