It’s new comic book day and there are lots of great all age comic books out this week. We also had an idea while listening to a panel at HeroesCon. The panel featured some creators who have done children’s comics or literature and was a lively chat about what young readers want, how parents can help them and obstacles that get in the way. There is not a consistent rating system for all of the comic book or graphic novel publishers, so we created one.
LE: Lower elementary readers will enjoy this book, those are ages 4-8. It’ll have simple concepts, drawings or ideals that most likely won’t demo up to those upper elementary aged kids.
UE: Upper elementary readers are those who are 9 and up. These readers will enjoy a little more action, can handle lots more reading and want to be in with the cool kids.
E: Elementary is the type of book that covers any age that’s in elementary school. These are the go-to elementary reads like Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, Marvel Action, Teen Titans Go!, Captain Underpants, The Bad Guys and more.
M: M is for middle school, those readers that are 12 and up. These are readers that can hold their own and handle subject matter that’s more advanced than elementary school. The books that we cover here at Daddy Mojo won’t be graphic in this category, obviously, rather it’s material that is too much for younger audiences, but just right for those in middle school.
H: H is for high school and you won’t see much of that here. Occasionally we’ll cover a hidden gem that is for those older audiences, but that will be the exception.
This week in the podcast we’ll chat about The Bad Guys in The Big Bad Wolf. This is rated E (for elementary) in that it’s great for those in first grade, but those in fourth grade and older will also want to read it. Disney Afternoon Giant #5 is rated M (for middle school), not because of content, but because of the sheer amount of reading that’s required to enjoy it. Also in the podcast we’ll talks about The Bad Guys, Marvel Rising, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Descendents, Spider-Man and much more.
