It’s cold. What better time of the year for kids to get warm inside to some groovy all age comic books? There are some classic names, great new titles and fabulous new graphic novels or novels that will appeal to readers as young as 6. For now, let’s look at three new books that will be great for a wide range of readers.
Betty & Veronica Friends Forever, Go To Work
Archie and Riverdale are one of the most age defying concepts out there. Archie Comics has been around for decades and still produces original content in the style that they were conceived. Betty & Veronica Friends Forever, Go To Work #1 is out and has the ‘classic’ version of the girls doing good natured job competitions. Kids (mainly girls), who are 5 and older will be OK with the content in Betty & Veronica. Kids who are 8 and older will be able to read it on their own and demo up to Riverdale when their parents say it’s OK.
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an interesting new Spidey title that take a look at Spider-Man from the local level. There are no Avengers-style adventures here, this is all local, Spider-Man in the hood action where he’s as much of a neighbor, as he is a super hero. To wit, there isn’t as much super hero action, but that’s OK because the wit, charm and story of this title are really allowed to shine. This is Spider-Man, the friendly, neighborhood variety and it’s a version that you haven’t seen before. Readers 8 and older will enjoy this series from Marvel Comics.
Hilda and the Great Parade
WoodMan. The entire first season of Hilda on Netflix was
amazing. The animation was fabulous, the stories were great and it’s a series that
appeals to viewers 5 and up. I stress the “up” because I loved it as much as
the kids. Woodman was our favorite characterTo hold us over until season 2,
check out Hilda and the Great Parade. This is the second in a series of
original middle school novels. The text is on par so that an advanced
elementary school reader can enjoy it and any middle school reader will love
it.
While we’re talking Hilda, the oversized graphic novels that
inspired the show on Netflix are stunning. If you haven’t seen any of those
they are well worth your time and money to check out.
