Every Wednesday is new comic book day when dozens upon dozens of comics hit the stores. In that lot there are at least two dozen all age comic books that are great for any age reader. This week we’re highlighting some really cool ones including a great graphic novel from DC Comics, Looney Tunes Greatest Hits Vol. 1, What’s Up Doc? This collects some classic stories from this long running comic book that’s been published since 1994.
In other all age comic books that young readers will want to read (and are OK with parents), check out Duck Avenger, a new series from IDW, Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony or Strawberry Shortcake. #2 of Mickey Mouse Shorts Season 1 is out too. This is a fun mini-series that offers a re-imagining of Mickey and other characters that pictures them in an art deco way reminiscent of 60’s advertisements.
Your all age super books include the go-to title Teen Titans GO! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #61. The Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover from DC Comics and IDW is out and a very fun graphic novel for readers 10 and up.
That age group will also like Kong of Skull Island, that’s a new mini-series from Boom! Studios. The art in this comic book is realistic and has some flashes of violence and action that might be too much for kids younger than that. Tween readers will love the updated story and it serves as a great primer for the movie next year. Also in action/science fiction is the latest from Lumberjanes, Sonic the Hedgehog, Back to the Future and a neat graphic novel called Bird Boy that’s got enough nature and action to entertain anyone.
Star Wars Original Topps Trading Card Series HC Volume 3, Return of the Jedi is out. These books reprint the original trading cards from the first trilogy. The first two books in this series by Topps were great fun and made us curse our 9 year old self for not keeping them.
