Happy new comic book day! It happens every Wednesday and included in them are many all age comic books that will be great for ages 5 and up. Comic books that a 5 year old can read? They might need some help ‘reading’ them, but the content will be great for kids and there is at least one of those each week.

Popeye #56 reproduces some of the classic Popeye comics. These are classic comics that will be OK for young readers. They’re simple, packed with spinach, action, boats and bulging biceps. My Little Pony Annual #1 is out and this series really appeals to young kids, especially girls. When our son was 5 he liked this comic book. He aged out of it, but still has a handful of issues in his collection. Young girls, 5 and up will stay interested for many years.

8 year old readers have a couple great all age comic books to choose from. Disney does many things in children’s entertainment well. One thing that I always thought they could do better was book or comic books that originated from their better television shows, specifically Phineas & Ferb and Gravity Falls. Both of those would make great monthly comic books. This week sees a new book from Joe Books, Disney Gravity Falls Cinestory #1 Shorts. This has brand new art and adventures from this very entertaining show that takes place in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Memo to Joe Books or Disney Publishing, a monthly comic from this show and Phineas & Ferb would be welcome.

That age will also like Spookhouse, the graphic novel Time Museum, Adventure Time #62 and more.

Ages 12 and up will want to dive into the True Believers line at Marvel Comics. This week has three-$1 titles that are out to pump up audiences about Logan. That film, Logan is rated R and is in no way OK for kids. However, the X-Men comics are OK for teens and up and Wolverine is a fun, complex character that they’ll want to read. Old Man Logan #1, Wolverine and the X-Men #1 and Wolverine #1 are all reprinted and only $1.
