What are some good comics for my kid to read? We get asked that a lot and we do have some go-to best all age comics that are great for boys or girls. One of those titles is Spongebob Comics. Each issue has a couple of different stories, is packed with creative art, funny dialogue and does so without the rudeness that might put some parents off. It’s a great title for ages 6 and up, plus the comic book doesn’t have stories that continue to another issue. Readers can rest assured that you won’t be tricked into reading the second part of a lame story, but you shouldn’t because each issue of Spongebob Comics is flat out funny.
A mini-series that brings together two of our favorite titles is out this week. Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #1 (of 6) puts the all ages titles for these two mega heroes in one book. This is great for any age, the violence will be the same as the Nickelodeon show (not bad at all) and it’ll give young kids a ‘real’ super team up.
In humor comics this week kids 8 and up who love oddities and laugh just a bit outside the box will love Chimichanga. It’s the story of a freak show bearded girl who befriends a skinny creature who has the world’s worst face. Don’t be fooled by its surroundings, this is a fun title that’s just enough on the outside to let kids be cool and rebel, but with a fabulous comic you’ll want to read too.
Some of the other best all age comics this week are the staples, like Donald Duck, Adventure Time, Doctor Who, Back to the Future, Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy and others.
We also mention some of the kidlit releases here and this week sees the 500 pound gorilla of kidlit, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down hit stores. Mention this series to an upper elementary or middle school student and their eyes light up. Our 7 year old neighbor saw our copy of the book arrive and I nearly had to tackle her for it. This is the book that your kids will want to read this fall.
If you have a teen reader check out WWE Then Now Forever and Godzilla: Rage Across Time. Both of these series have action and situations that are too much for elementary age kids, but will fit the bill for upper middle school and up.
What are your kids reading? We’ll be reviewing some of the best all age comics later this week. Spoiler alert: they’re great, but we’ll break down who they’re good for and why it deserves your money.
