It’s new comic book day and this week has something for every age reader. This is also that very special week when most of our favorite all age comic books come out. We’ll cover all of those books in the podcast. However, one of those books is highlighted in our top three all age comic books below
Spongebob Comics Annual Giant Swimtacular
Last week the monthly issue of Spongebob Comics came out, it was awesome. This week has Spongebob Comics Annual Giant Swimtacular #6 out. If you’re an older, possibly dubious fan of comic books then these one-off comic books might have a bad taste in your mouth. For some comic books that’s entirely possible, but this summer series from Spongebob Comics is new, fresh and cleans that taste out with new tales from under the sea. This is funny, tongue in cheek stuff that both of our boys have loved since they were 6 and I read it at night when they’re done. If you’re faith in all age comic books need reassurance, check out this one.
Steven Universe Ongoing #17
If you know of a kid who watches Steven Universe and really gets it, then it’s highly probably that they’re in middle or high school. This is a funny show that’s observational, a little dry and has enough action to bring along some boys who otherwise wouldn’t be attached to it. The comic book is similar to that and is great fun. In Steven Universe Ongoing #17 we see Steven and Peridot playing video games and she takes things too far. Readers aged 11 and up will be able to read this and get the most out of the comic.
Disney Tangled The Series Graphic Novel,The Write Story
If you’re a girl reader in second through sixth grade this is your jam. This is an ongoing series of original graphic novels featuring the characters from Tangled. The second one is called The Write Story and Rapunzel freaking out because she’s about to meet her favorite author. Factor in that the king embellishes Rapunzel’s life when they want to write a book about her and tall tales will rule the day. This is a funny, original graphic novel that will make kids who don’t want to read actually read. Sure there are lots of pictures, but this is gateway stuff that will give them the reading bug.
