It’s around spring break for most of us and the new all age comics this week reflect that in the fact that there aren’t many new ones. There are a couple new monthly titles and a few new graphic novels, but overall it looks like a great week to catch up on previous releases that you missed. You should still head out to your local comic book store and here are 5 of our go-to all age comics that will interest young readers aged 5 and up.
Little Archie
The world of Riverdale gets the Art and Franco treatment. Their style is what many parents and children associate with all age comics due to their work with Tiny Titans, as well as, Action Cat and Adventure Bug. In this Little Archie one-shot comic our title character wakes up with a cat having eaten his homework. It’s no ordinary cat as Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Reggie come to find out. This title will be good for ages 5 and up.
Adventure Time original graphic novel: Brain Robber
One of the great things about Adventure Time is that because the series is utterly surreal it can continue to reinvent itself. This can consist of new stories with Finn and Jake or side stories that concentrate on their friends that inhabit their absurd world with them. Brain Robber takes the spotlight and shines it on Lumpy Space Princess in this original graphic novel. This is for fans of the series or existing comic book and is good for ages 9 and up due to its extreme silliness that younger readers might not understand.
Saban Power Rangers
Did you see the Power Rangers movie? Have you read the monthly Power Rangers comic book? The comic book is very good and OK for ages 9 and up mainly because of action and semi-realistic peril. This Saban Power Rangers graphic novel is all new and lives in the world that the film exists in. It’s the characters that you liked in the film, in a new graphic novel adventure.
Doctor Who
The 9th, 10th and 11th Doctor have new releases this week. Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor Who collects issues 11-15 of its monthly series, Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, Arena of Fear is a trade paperback that collects issues from that series and Doctor Who, the Ninth Doctor issue #11 starts a new story line for people that want to jump in. The action might be too intense for young readers. On average ages 9 and up will be OK with this fun sci-fi series
Disney Princess
Short stories featuring Belle from Beauty and the Beast? You can all but see the hoards of young girl readers in their princess gold shoes running to the store. Disney Princess #10 is a monthly series, but this month it’s all about Belle.
