Happy first week of summer! New Comic book day this week yields some great all age comic books including our favorite new comic book, a very large section of science fiction and action comics, plus a new imprint of titles from a major publisher that’s great for tweens.

The conclusion to Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man Contest of Champions (#4) is out this week, as is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4 and Ms. Marvel #8, which is a great comic for kids 11 and up. You know how Marvel Comics and DC Comics keep reshuffling the universe right? Marvel is reaching out to fans by reprinting the first couple issues of their titles on a new imprint. Timely Comics kicks off with the first three issues of Totally Awesome Hulk for only $3. This title is going to be good for kids 11 and up due to the some of the violence and situations.
Science fiction is busy this week too with Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises #3, Ghostbusters International #6, Munchkin #18 and many more. Bruce Lee is our favorite new comic book this year. It’s much better than you think it is. I state that because anytime you create a new story around a real person, especially one so storied and awesome as Bruce Lee your expectations are high. Rest easy, this all age comic book has action, humor, heart and lessons that anyone can learn from.
Famous Monsters is not for the all age audience. However, parents might remember this from when they were kids. I would buy this several times a year to get a sneak preview of the new sci-fi or monster movies. It’s a magazine, so the reading is aimed at adults, but the language is clean. Some of the monster images might be too much for younger readers, but older ones will get a kick out of the behind the scene photos.
Humor all age comic book fans have Archie #9, the final issue of the Action Cat & Adventure Bug mini series, Looney Tunes #231 and more.
