What are some of the best all age comics for young readers? The answer to that question gets better and longer every year and the final new comic book day in 2016 brings one of the go-to authors for reluctant readers, a camp driven comic that’s campy with heart, power, team work and lots more.
Two of the humor comics this week are Dog Man: Unleashed and Lumberjanes. Dog Man: Unleashed is technically a book, but most comic book stores will stock it and the reading will be magnetic to kids 6 through 10. It’s from Dav Pilkey, author of Captain Underpants and his latest creation is all comic format that is in line with the drawings from George Beard.
Are you reading Lumberjanes? Each issue of this camp based comic book is fabulous. It melds science-fiction with friendship and the teen years so perfectly you’ll almost wish you were that age again in camp, almost.
Another Boom! comic book is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and I hope that the movie that’s being released in 2017 is along the same caliber. The comic might be too much for 7 year olds, but kids 10 and up that like story driven action with ‘real’ comic art will love this book.
One of the true best all age comics for kids that like superheroes is Super Powers. This is a mini-series from DC Comics by Art Baltazar and Franco who have really created a look and feel to an all age comic that transfers between the characters that they take on. Super Powers has the main DC superheroes doing age appropriate action, humor and oddities to keep kids reading.
It’s OK for young girls to go into the comic book store and one of the books that they should seek out is Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Issue #14 comes out this week and it’s jammed with intelligent, dinosaur pounding action for readers 10 and up, simply due to the reading that’s required.
By coincidence, another great female centric title is Princeless Raven Pirate Princess from Action Lab Entertainment. Issue #12 from Princeless is out this week, it’s too much for younger readers, but those 12 and who like story driven action will really enjoy this.
