Every Wednesday is new comic book day at your local comic book store. Some weeks are better than others and this week is jam packed with some fabulous all age comic books. In humor comic books fans of Adventure Time will want to check out Adventure Time Comics. This is a new title that allows different creators-who are also fans of Adventure Time to draw and script their own adventures. It’s in line with SpongeBob Comics and how there are a couple different incarnations of him in any given issue.
Bone, Coda-the 25th Anniversary, Darkwing Duck, Finding Dory, Shrek and Scooby Doo Team Up are out too. That last title is priced perfectly at $2.99 also, which makes it very simple to pick up for the kids. The Pink Panther #3 is out, we’re not a fan of that title for a couple reasons, but our 6 year old likes it.
In superheroes, Future Quest is a fun title from DC Comics that ages 10 and up will enjoy. The content is great for any age, but the amount of reading will put off anyone under that. It features Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, Bird Man and lots of other classic Hannah Barbera characters. There are lots of twists and turns that make this a plot rich series that young readers will want to follow.
Power Rangers Pink, Teen Titans #22 is a good title for ages 10 and up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #60 and a classic TMNT Coloring Book, plus a classic DC Coloring Book are out.
Action all age comic books sees the series finale of Haunted Mansion, an Invader Zim trade paperback, Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers and much more at your local store. A great book for all ages is What Is It? by Dustin Nguyen, who does Li’l Gotham and others. This is a book about the wonders of not knowing what something is and trying to figure it out. Its vocabulary and pacing, combined with the dreamy art make this a great good-night book.
This is not an all age comic book, but Predator Vs. Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens #1 is out this week. The title alone wills us to pick it up for us to marvel at the mash up.
