Hello new comic book day! It’s every Wednesday and there are handfuls of great all age comic books that come out each week. In the podcast we’ll take a deeper look at the best selling comic book of all time in New Zealand, a summer special from one of the great go-to comics, a classic literary crime solving teen comes to comics and more. For now though let’s look at three all age comic books that’ll entertain readers as young as 6.
My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic #69
For girls aged 4 through 9 My Little Pony can be their jam. I say ‘can be’ because not all girls will like MLP, but most of them will. In issue #69 of My Little Pony Pinkie Pie finds a magical apple that gives her special powers. Try not to smile when you read that sentence. It’s the same with the comic book, this is happy stuff that will please anybody if you give it a chance.
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #35
If you know of a middle school student or even one in their final year of elementary school who is looking for a truly cool hero look no further than Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. With tongue firmly in cheek, she hangs with supers, foils villainous plots and survives being a teenager. In this issue Spider-Man joins her for some fun and possibly to help take down Kraven.
Blastosaurus
Blastosaurus is the #1 selling comic book of all time in New Zealand. It’s being relaunched in the U.S. as an all age comic book. He’s a 6-foot-tall mutant triceratops who is helped by two 12-year olds as they fight monsters, robots, aliens and more. This looks fun, original and just like the sort of thing that will shake up kids 8 and up who can read independently.
