Busy. That’s the one-word adjective to describe the new all age comic books this week. This week has the most superhero comic books that are OK for young readers that I’ve seen in a very long time. Over in the podcast we’ll talk a bit more in depth about some cool books staring The Avengers, a new Marvel superhero comic for all ages, the classic Underdog, Ghoul Scouts and much more. For now though lets take a look at three go-to all age comic books or graphic novels that will entertain readers as young as 6.
Simpsons Comics
We absolutely love The Simpsons. The television show is still remarkably funny and we watch it from time to time. Simpsons Comics is just as funny as the show and the comic book is accessible to ages 7 and up. Truth be told, our 8 year old has been reading it for two years, but I understand why some parents don’t want their kids reading this comic book that young. This really is OK for kids that young. The sass, attitude and bad habits that happen in the television show that parents don’t want their kids emulating is not present in Simpsons Comics. Those elements were all done vocally. Without the voice talent all that’s left are the words and in this case they’re funny, complemented with sharp are and a timeless appeal.
Teen Titans Go!
Similar to the above title, this comic book is toned down from the television show. Its manic, speed or volume level isn’t present and in its place is just the story. A story that kids 6 and up will want to read, factor in that Teen Titans Go! is only $2.99 and you’ve got spring time reading that is good to go.
The City on the Other Side
Fairies, battling fairies on two sides of a coin, that’s the premise behind The City on the Other Side. This graphic novel was utterly surprising in how much I enjoyed it. In theory, a graphic novel about fairies is not the stuff that I’d hold my breath as I turned the pages; but The City on the Other Side combines action, a fast paced story and a wide range of characters to make this a great graphic novel-that happens to have some fairies in it.
