It’s new comic book day and here are the week’s all age comic books. Over in the podcast we’ll chat about Sailor Moon, Thor, The Backstagers, Squirrel Girl and more. There are a couple great comics that will be fine for ages 6 and up. For now, let’s look at three new releases that ages 7 and up will love.
Lucy Speak Out!
The fact that Peanuts and its characters are still producing material warms the heart. Lucy Speak Out! is a collection of classic comic strips from one of the best strips to grace newspapers. Lucy takes up social causes, plays baseball, writes a biography of Beethoven and more. Of course, Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty also get in on the mix. Our 7 year-old jumped up and down like a rabbit when he saw that we had this book. He’ll be able to read most of the words in this book and grow up with the same love that we did for this property.
Marvel Action: Spider-Man
Spider-Man is the superhero that speaks to kids. Whichever incarnation or version within the Spider-Verse you’re referring to, this is the superhero that kids really like. It’s only fitting that Marvel Action: Spider-Man is as great as fans hoped it would be. This is a joint effort from IDW Publishing and Marvel Comics that features Miles Morales, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy all in the same comic book. The content is fine for ages 7 and up, although those younger readers will need help reading it. The action is great and appropriate for those ages, without babying the content.
Wonder Twins
For all you Saturday morning cartoon kids The Wonder Twins have been a punch line-and deservedly so. They’re nothing more than the shape-shifting twins who needed each other to do what they do. Now Wonder Twins is a delicious mini-series from DC Comics that captures the fun that we all knew these characters could be. Issue #2 of the six issue run is out this week and has our twin contemporary, going to high school and Gleek makes his first appearance! This comic book will be fine for 8 and up.
