It’s the first new comic book day after Free Comic Book Day and Star Wars Day. That’s nothing too special except for the fact that there will still be some free all age comics leftover when you visit the store this week. If you’re lucky there might be some cool posters that you can get for school or the rooms too. All of this and there are still some cool new all age comics coming out this week. Many of the classic, go-to titles are out this week, plus a great comic book and graphic novel for middle school.

Invisible Emme

Invisible Emme is an original graphic novel about two middle school girls with opposite personalities. One day a note lands in the wrong hands and throws each of their lives into chaos, the fun kind of chaos that makes for entertaining reading. This is from Terri Libenson, cartoonist of The Pajama Diaries.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures

The final issue is this fabulous mini-series is here! This will easily be one of the best graphic novels when they’re compiled and released as a book in a couple of months. If you’re old school or simply like the feel of individual comic books check out this series. It’s funny, action packed and presents both superheroes in a way that doesn’t dilute their power, but still makes it OK for ages 5 and up.

Invader Zim #19

Invader Zim is back, he took a month or two vacation and now he’s back with a taco, camping trip and more plans to take over the planet that will probably fail. This series is funny and ages 7 and up will get the jokes and appreciate the humor.

Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy

Is Guardians of the Galaxy 2 OK for kids? We covered that in a podcast/post and it’s up to you, but the language is harsh for younger ages. Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy #19 though is great for any age. It’s cut from the Disney XD series and ages 5 and up will really enjoy this.

Ms. Marvel #18

Ms. Marvel is technically rated T+ from Marvel Comics. It’s not an all ages comic book per se, but ages 10 and up will enjoy it. Think of a more grounded and less surreal Squirrel Girl, with slightly more superhero action. This comic book is set in a young adult world where dating, social interaction, real world problems, as well as saving the world-or at least her corner of it happen in each issue.
