Happy new comic book day! That’s #NCBD to those who follow along on social media and this week has some really cool new all age comic books that will interest those new pop culture fans, as well as those readers with an old soul. Over in the podcast we’ll talk about Star Trek Vs. Batman, Shazam, a new select-your-story-adventure and much more. For now let’s look at three comic books that will interest boys or girls as young as 6 years old.
Casper
American Mythology Productions needs to be on your radar for several all age comic books. One of them is Casper and in this case, Casper’s Capers. Issue #2 of Casper’s Capers is out this week and it’s got the ghost himself, plus Wendy on the cover. There will be much magical mayhem, with relatively simple vocabulary that grades 2 and up will be able to read. Thos readers who are slightly younger will enjoy the story and the chance for mom, dad or anyone else to read it to them. Casper’s Capers is $3.99.
Star Wars Adventures, Destroyer Down
Star Wars Adventures, Destroyer Down #2 of #3 tells the back story behind Rey. This is where an Imperial Star Destroyer on Jakku has been lost for decades. Now a huge sandstorm has revealed its presence, just in time for Rey, a scavenger to pick through its treasure. This is a fun mini-series that’s great for fans of Star Wars. It’s cut from the same cloth as Star Wars Adventures, the excellent all age comic book that’s published monthly. Star Wars Adventures, Destroyer Down, #2 is from IDW Publishing and $3.99.
Team Sonic Racing
Some parents will have to get past the fact that the blurry line between video games and comic books. To that end, Team Sonic Racing is essentially a video game tie-in of an upcoming Sonic video game. Literally, Team Sonic Racing is a new video game coming out in the winter of 2019. However, Sonic, the comic book is also hugely popular with elementary school aged readers. Face the fact parents: It’s a Sonic world, we’re just trying to navigate our children to content that they want to read.
