It’s early June and a great week for humor all age comic books because there are more of them than the other categories combined. That’s not a bad thing, because on the whole there are so many all age books coming out this week there is bound to be at least two different books for every young reader. If you want the audio version of this where we highlight a couple of books in each category just check out our podcast. It’s only 15 minutes long and give me a great excuse to use my broadcasting degree.
In Superhero this week you can get the trade paperback for Actionverse where they celebrate their fifth anniversary or Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy #8. While not in comic book stores you can also find new young reader origin stories from Capstone featuring Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. These are easy reader books that are great for young readers and more book than comic book. But they’re great and give confidence to readers that they can conquer a chapter book.
Science fiction and action has lots that we’re excited about this week including Invader Zim, a cross over comic book featuring Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy and Sonic the Hedgehog. Poppy! And the Lost Lagoon is a trade paperback that looks really good for ages 10 and up. It’s from Dark Horse, has fabulous art and is the story about a young girl who gets summoned on a worldwide quest to find out what happened to her grandfather. Kaijumax Season 2 is great, large monster wrecking fun for ages 9 and up due to the large monsters and such.
If humor based all age comic books are your jam then this week is for you. Adventure Time, Donald Duck, a trade paperback from Ghostbusters, Goldie Vance, Mickey Mouse, The Pink Panther, Spongebob Comics, Welcome to Showside and many others are out.
