There are lots of great all age comic books out this week. There is something for everyone from ages 5 and up. True story: we were in the comic book store this week and I overheard a dad looking for something for his 5 YO girl. The comic book store employee helped him out, but their suggestions were aimed at too high of an age. Over in the podcast we’ll chat briefly about how a parent of young children can navigate the comic book store successfully. For now let’s look at three comic books that will entertain even the pickiest of young readers who are 5 and up.
Disney Princess #21
That dad in the comic book store needs to check this out. Disney Princess is a monthly comic book from Joe Books that hammers the young girl demographic with humor, princess stories, heroism and girls who they already know. That young of an age won’t be able to read them, but that’s why mom and dad read to kids at night, isn’t it?
Futurama Comics Annual #1
From Bongo Comics this is the first annual from Futurama Comics. That comic book is no longer being printed physically, but does have new content distributed via the Futurama app. It’s because of that fact that this issue is one of our picks of the week. This series is funny to ages 8 and up and will especially poke the funny bone of Simpsons fans who yearn for some Planet Express.
Rise of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the new version of the animated TMNT that was previously on Nickelodeon. Rise will still be on Nick and the new comic book will be out on IDW Publishing. These are the turtles that are in line with the ‘animated TMNT’, they’re more kid friendly-without skimping on the action, but not as old as the ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book. Issue 0 is out this week and is great for ages 6 and up.
