Happy new comic book day, each Wednesday dozens of new comic books are delivered to your local comic book store. In that delivery there are dozens of all age comic books that are great for young readers. Each week we’ll list all of those that are good for readers and dive down a bit deeper on the podcast about a handful of the all age comic books or graphic novels that really stand out. For now, lets look at three
Adventure Time Comics #22
If you have a reluctant reader 9 or older have them check out Adventure Time Comics. This free wheeling monthly series from Boom! Studios allows different artists the opportunity to write and draw Finn, Jake and all of the magical oddidites in Ooo.
Casper and Wendy
Let’s kick it old school with Casper and Wendy. American Mythology does a great job with their old school, retro properties like this one and The Pink Panther. They combine new stories and art-that looks like the real, classic deal, with some classic previously released stories or strips. Casper and Wendy #1 presents Casper meeting the friendly witch in red for the first time in this all age comic book that will be great for kids 5 and up.
Secondhand Heroes: The Last Battle
Secondhand Heroes: The Last Battle is the third and final book in the series by Justin Larsen Hansen. This is an original graphic novel series that ages 9 and up will enjoy as its packed with action, great character development, cool monsters and kids with superpowers. Even though the kids have superpowers, they are rooted in real-life and any age reader will appreciate them. Their powers have consequences, to quote a certain webslinger and this finale is one that upper elementary and older will like reading. One aspect that makes this graphic novel stand out is its art, which is hand drawn and then painted with watercolor, giving the book an earnest, loved appearance, with monsters and superpowers.
