If you live in the United States this is the first week that everyone has off for summer vacation! Congratulations, take the kids out to your local comic book store to see what’s kicking for new comic book day. It’s a great week for new all age comic books including DC Super Hero Girls-a brand new graphic novel that geared for girls 6 and up. Young girls will also like Disney Princesses, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, My Little Pony, Jim Henson’s Shadows of the Dark Crystals and more.
It’s not all about girl power-and have said that, those titles are just those that are marketed towards girls or I suspect will enjoy it more than boys.
There are also a couple new Doctor Who comics, Sonic the Hedgehog, a new comic from Clarence and Uncle Scrooge. One of our favorite all age comic books this week is Pink Panther. This books is funny, great for any age and gives kids a chance to see a classic character in a way that their parents remember. Issue #2 of Pink Panther from American Mythology Productions is out this week and has bright colors and funny gags galore.
The podcast highlights three issues from humor, action and superhero that will be of interest to the fans of all age comic books. This could include some books that are great for elementary or middle school too. Jim Henson’s Shadows of the Dark Crystals is a YA book that will hook readers 10 and up. It’s set before the time of The Dark Crystal and fans of that movie are probably already drooling and trying to find it online. We also tweet lots about other books, plus some Japanophile news and cat videos, because internet.
