Happy new comic book day! Technically new comic book day is every Wednesday, but we can celebrate a little early, can’t we? This week has some great all age comic books. In the podcast we’ll talk about My Little Pony, Disney The Little Mermaid, Usagi Yojimbo and a couple other great all age comics. When I first saw InvestiGators I said “this is the next Dog Man”. Our 10 year-old was within hearing distance and said, “the new Dog Man is here”? I followed up by saying that InvestiGators by John Patrick Green is the next Dog Man in that it has the manic sense of fun, plus the bright colors that elementary through middle school readers love. Once you read InvestiGators you’ll immediately want to read more. It’s funny and is just the sort of thing that ages 7 and up want to read.

My Little Pony, The Little Mermaid and the next graphic novel series your kids will want to read are out this week

All Age Comic Books for February 19

This week in new all age comic books has a lot of superheroes that are just below mainstream and perfect for middle school readers. Art Baltazar’s Powers In Action has its first trade paperback, The Hero Squadron released this week. If you have an elementary school reader who is looking age appropriate action this is just the ticket. Over the podcast we’ll chat about Archie meeting another pop culture icon-The B-52’s! This one-shot will be great for those that love Archie, the 80’s (or late 70’s) and those that like the previous Archie ‘meet-ups’ that you never thought would work, but were ridiculously entertaining. We’ll also chat about Superman Smashes the Klan, Lumberjanes and more. For now, here are all of the all age comic books for this week. New comic book day is every Wednesday, to find out where your closest comic book store just dig into comic book store locator.

Late February is a great time to head out to the comic book store

Hilo All The Pieces Fit nails the ending to this graphic novel series

I just asked our 10 year-old what he likes about the Hilo graphic novel series by Judd Winick. He gave me a series of one-word answers, like: action, funny, humor and then he said action again. He hasn’t really embraced his descriptive powers yet, so I’ll fill in the blanks. Hilo is one of the best graphic novel series of books out there for upper elementary school students through middle school. Personally, it’s one of our favorite series of books or graphic novels that has a continuous narrative. While Hilo All The Pieces Fit, seems like an ending, it might not be.

Hilo is a perfect graphic novel series and this entry perfectly ends this chapter

To Dance Special Edition, a graphic novel on professional ballet

To Dance, so some young girls that’s their life. We’ve known a couple of parents that have ballet kids. One of them recently had their child selected to go to classes there. Apparently this was a big deal because the school only accepts a dozen or so students, dance audition tapes have to be submitted, angles of their feet are tabulated and more. Those people that the aforementioned classifiers speak to, as well as, those who love a high quality graphic novel, need to read To Dance. To Dance is a memoir by Siena Cherson Siegel with artwork by Mark Siegel. It details the work and effort that Siena went through from when she started ballet at the age of six through her late teens.

If you’re looking for a all age graphic novel about professional ballet this is it

New comic book day (NCBD) is nigh, it’s always on Wednesday and this week has a handful of very cool all age comic books. In the podcast we’ll go in a bit more detail as to why Star Wars Adventures, Sonic the Hedgehog, Magnificent Ms. Marvel and a couple others need to be on your radar for comic books that are great for younger readers. If you’ve got a true Disney Princess fan in your house then Disney Cinderella: The Story of the Movie in Comics from Dark Horse Comics is something you should look into. The text might be a big challenging for younger readers, but if they’re really into this tale then it’s a can’t miss graphic novel. One great monthly comic book that might be under your radar is Magnificent Ms. Marvel. This week has the second printing of #11 from that series. Anytime a fun or cool comic book gets a second print run we like to feature it here. The third run from issue #1 of the Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team up that’s happening now has just been released. That team up is great and one of the best things we’re reading now. Without further ado, here are all of this week’s all age comic books.

This week in the all age comic book podcast we’ll talk about Invader Zim, Star Wars Adventures, DC Super Hero Girls and more. Do you need a great mini-series for upper elementary readers and older? This week has the first issue of Power Rangers Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles. We’ve really enjoyed the various team-ups that have happened with The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and look forward to this comic book. The action will be immersive enough to keep those middle school kids and it presents two franchises that kids know, but might not know too much about either one.
