This week represents something special for the best all age comics to come out on new comic book day. Comic book 101: each Wednesday is New Comic Book Day, it’s when all of the new comics for the week hit stores. Two great all age comics, The Pink Panther and Monty the Dinosaur have their trade paperback release. Our 7 year old loves The Pink Panther, each issue has two new stories and two classic stories that were originally published in the 60’s or 70’s. This trade paperback collects issues 1-3, the Halloween special and the Free Comic Book Day book that previewed the coming Pink madness.

For our money one of the best new all age comic books of the year is Monty the Dinosaur. It’s the story of a dinosaur who has befriended a little girl. She lives and plays with him, all the while he’s trying to fit into modern life. The art is great, the stories are simple and effective and this is a comic that will bring back memories of Calvin and Hobbes.

In other humor all age comics you can find lots of Walt Disney characters like Frozen, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey’s Inferno and Disney Darkwing Duck.

Two staple titles that are regularly some of the best all age comics you can pick up are Simpsons Comics and Invader Zim. Each of those titles are great for any age and we haven’t picked up a bad issue of either of them.

One superhero series that is really good is Voltron Legendary Defender. The final issue in this mini-series is out this week and it’s only $2.99, plus it’s a smart comic book that will really speak to young readers who like teamwork, logic and action with their 100’ robots.

Three teen titles that might fly under your radar are Godzilla Rage Across Time and Ghostbusters International. Godzilla collects the five comics that were in this most recent mini-series. Ghostbusters International is normally fabulous for ages 8 and up, however, this issue might have some language (that you can see on the front cover) that parents don’t want their kids to say. We also like Sensational She-Hulk. This trade paperback collect lots of her issues and is jammed with the action, art and sly humor that  fans loved about this series

We’re excited to take a look at Spookhouse. Spookhouse #2 from Eric Powell comes out and tells camp-fire style spooky stories for kids. Powell’s latest, Chimichanga: Sorrow of the World’s Worst Face is a great all ages tale and that brings high hopes for Spookhouse.

The music you hear on the podcast is from D Smilez. Where is your closest comic book store? Speaking of the podcast-can you leave a rating on the system that you listened to it on? Any comments on that would certainly be appreciated.
