There are only two more new comic book days before Christmas, so if you plan on getting a young reader or yourself something for that long weekend stock up now. The best all age comics this week run the gamut to cool graphic novels to a couple of the go-to comics that you can never go wrong with.

Let’s start off with two action/science-fiction graphic novels. Kids 6 and up will like Dragons Defenders of Berk, it’s an original graphic novel about Toothless, Dragon Training Academy and Vikings. If your kids have seen either of the films they’ll love this. The other action graphic novel is Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises and it collects issues 1-4 of this outstanding comic book. Kids 8 and up will like this, mainly due to the reading required to really enjoy the comic. Bruce Lee is one of the best all age comics this year that blends classic action, science fiction and humor in a package that anybody can enjoy.

Two funny graphic novels that’ll hit their sweet spot is Adventure Time: Ice King and Simpsons Comics Knockout. Both of these books are laugh out loud funny, have distinctive art and are more palatable for younger audiences in print, than their television counterpart.

In humor comic books check out Mickey & Donald Christmas Parade #2, Spongebob Comics #63, as well as, My Little Pony: Friends Forever #35 and others to tickle the yuletide funny bone.

Fans of all age comic books who dig super heroes will be drawn to the heroes in a half shell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures Vol 2. A new comic book that brings together two great characters for a mini-series is Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. #2 of #6 is out this week and this series is outstanding. It brings real action and mood to a genre that normally paints its superheroes as cartoonish or too young for most 7 year olds.

Invader Zim, Mega Princess, Scooby Doo Where Are You? and Sonic Universe are also out this week.
