Happy new comic book day! Every Wednesday lots of new comic books hit you local stores and in that lot are dozen of great all age comic books. These all age comic books will be OK for readers as young as five. They also span any interest that you can think of-one of them will certainly register with readers in elementary, middle or high school. In the podcast we’ll go in depth and take a look at Plants vs. Zombies, Henri’s Hats, Mech Cadet Yu, an all age Venom comic book and more. For now let’s look at three all age comic books that will interest readers as young as five.
Disney Frozen: Breaking Boundaries #2
If there’s someone in the house that likes Disney Frozen they’ll love this comic book. Disney Frozen: Breaking Boundaries is a mini-series on Dark Horse Comics that comes from the same heart and soul as the animated film and its sister comic book, Frozen, that’s published monthly. In this issue Anna and a new friend try their hand at different jobs while Elsa investigates a mystery that is happening deep in the wood. The vocabulary is a bit much for kids who are 5 to read by themselves, but they’ll enjoy the art and lessons within the comic book. Ages 7 and up will be able to read Disney Frozen: Breaking Boundaries without any assistance and can get their WDW groove on that way.
Venom Adventures Digest
What if Peter Parker was wearing the alien symbiote suit? Now what if he did that and the tales were captured in a format for all age comic books? Venom Adventures Digest does just that by collecting previously published stories from Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man. This is an all age story about Venom. You read that right. It seems as likely as an all age story with Deadpool, but this comic book makes it work and it makes sense. Even the Marvel team-up with Phineas & Ferb had Venom in the mix. It’s just that most of his stories are not for kids, this one is great fun that ages 6 and up will enjoy.
Voltron Legendary Defender, Vol. 3, #3
I wish I had time to watch Voltron on Netflix. The episodes that I’ve seen are action-packed, have great stories, enough humor to bridge the gaps and are perfect for kids 7 and up that dig science-fiction. The comic book from Lion Forge doesn’t mess with the success from the show at all. Voltron is all age comic book fun for those kids who want a smart comic book that’s perfect for kids, but doesn’t dumb down the story or packaging for them.
