New comic book day is every Wednesday. Simply search #NCBD on twitter to see what folks are reading. For parents and young readers they want to discover the best all ages comics, these are those comic books that will be OK for readers as young as five years old. Granted, all of the comics won’t demo that young, but we’ll provide rough suggestions for what ages will appreciate them. Here are five of the best all ages comics that you’ll find at stores this week.
Kid Sherlock #2
Kid Sherlock is a mini-series from Action Lab Entertainment that is entertaining for kids as young as five. Watson is a dog. Sherlock is a student at Baker Elementary. Mysteries will be solved at the school by a highly observant and polite kid. Parents will enjoy reading these to young readers and early elementary school students will enjoy the sly humor and just might be curious about the source material.
Go Go Power Rangers #1
Go Go Power Rangers #1 is a new series from Boom! Studios. Aside from unintentionally reminding readers of an all-too-catchy theme song from a semi-robot detective, it’s the previously untold story of what happens to Billy, Jason, Kim, Trini and Zack in the days after they become Power Rangers. Did you see the movie? They’re still high school students who are now dealing with super powers. This will be OK for ages 11 and up.
Mighty Thor Little Golden Book
These aren’t technically comic books, but anyone four knows this format. This week has a couple new releases from Little Golden Book including Thor, Thunder Strike! featuring Hulk. Ages 2 and up will be able to enjoy this book and just might hold onto them until they’re reading them to their kids.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Usagi Yojimbo
This original graphic novel combines two of the best all ages comics that you’ll find in the comic book store. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures and Usagi Yojimbo are each outstanding, can be picked up any month and will provide hours of enjoyment. The turtles are transported to feudal Japan, where animals speak and everyone is anthropomorphic. It’ll feature lots of action, TMNT fighting, samurai rabbits and a distinctive, minimal style that Stan Sakai does so well.
Lumberjanes #40
Call it science-fiction, humor, highly intelligent or a silly summer camp story with mermaids and monsters. Whatever you call it Lumberjanes is one of the best comic books out there now. The fact that it’s one of the best all ages comics is simply a happy coincidence.
