Happy new comic book day! Actually #NCBD is every Wednesday, but if you’re reading this on any day other than that make it a great one anyway. This week in all age comic books the superheroes lead the way with a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle title, say that three times fast. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #1 will be great for readers 10 and up, #1 comes out this week and is a great chance for middle schoolers to jump in on the ground floor.

Superhero fans can also read on with Mighty Morhpin Power Rangers #6, Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy #11 and a couple others.

Do you or your kids watch Amazing World of Gumball? It’s on Cartoon Network and is ridiculously happy. Parents have nothing to fear from this show or its comic book counterparty from Boom! Studios. Their Grab Bag Special #1 is out with all new stories and an oversized issue packed with laughs and plenty of sillies.

Disney Princess #6 from Joe Books, Dreamworks Classics trade paperback volume 3 and My Little Pony #45 is out. If you have an older reader who likes smart, funny things have them check out Groo: Fray of the Gods from legendary cartoonist Sergio Aragones. His distinct style of drawing has been lighting up Mad Magazine for decades and it’s a treat to see that he’s still producing new, quality work that entertains all age readers.

If you like Doctor Who this is your week. There are more Doctor Who comic books out than usual this week, get in touch with your Whovian self. Ages 10 and up who like action and mystery need to read Future Quest. This is a fun title from DC Comics that has some reading, so it’s too much for younger kids, but that age will like the intrigue and follow along with a mash up of Hannah Barbara heroes.

Some all age comic books bridge genres. That’s exactly what Mighty Zodiac does. One could easily call this a superhero comic, but the heroes have more in common with the signs of the zodiac. It’s got action, enough words to practice reading and is a great comic book that flies under radar. Check it out.
