Wednesday means new comic book day and this week has a nice selection of new all age comic books, as well as, a couple graphic novels that will rock the socks off of readers as young seven. Over in the podcast we’ll chat about Mr. Wolf’s Class: Mystery Class, Sonic the Hedgehog and more. For now let’s look at three great releases that will entertain parents as much as they will readers in second grade.
Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir
Wings of Fire is a gargantuan popular book series for upper elementary school and up. It’s about dragons, the different clicks between them and is a book series that our nine year-old is headlong into. Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir is the graphic novel adaptation of the second book in that series by the same name. Start off with the graphic novels. Start off with the books. Either way your reader who is eight and up will absolutely love the adventure that these books thrust you into.
Star Trek Vs. Transformers #5 of 5
We love this crossover IDW Publishing has done. The first four issues were spot-on great, they managed to capture the cavalier attitude of 60’s era Star Trek, in addition to the 80’s era fun of Transformers. Put them together in one great crossover and this is one of the best all age comic books of the year. This is issue #5 of a five issue mini-series. Look around closely and you’ll find the first four issues. If not, check out the trade paperback when its released in a couple months. While the content is appropriate for ages six and up, realistically it’ll be enjoyed most by those nine and up as they’ll be familiar with the characters in the story.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #40
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is one of the best all age comic books out there. This comic book is great for ages seven and up, boys or girls and varies from camp superhero action to otherworldly adventure issue to issue. This issue of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has the team in a dreamscape with Doctor Strange making a guest appearance. Try this comic book out once and it’ll reward you with great art, a quick paced story and a go-to comic book every month.
