Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors, Contest of Champions #1

For young readers who are looking for a low impact, non committal, fun way to read all age comics the mini-series is your best bet. Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors: Contest of Champions #1 is the start of a mini-series that’s modeled after Marvel series that airs on Disney XD. This is still Spider-Man, but it’s the all age version that is easily approachable to younger readers, say ages 5 and up.

In this mini-series our web-warrior is minding his own business (as he usually is), when he’s tricked by Scourge, Abomination and Beetle to a meeting. A brief battle ensues when Spidey swings around the city and slams into a massive force field that someone has placed the entire city. He’s quickly teleported to The Collector’s Ship where he learns that a sibling game is going on between him and his brother called the Contest of Champions.

Holy all age comics with superheroes! This week is packed to the gills with action and humor packed superheroes. Usually it’s a two or three issue parade, but this week you’ve got your pick of the odd teens, mutant turtles and super ability folks to engage young readers. There are also a handful of humor titles that’ll jam on readers of Riverdale, the Disney Princess contingent and magical mountain villages.

In science fiction there are a couple Doctor Who books worth mentioning that have similarities to the Star Wars universe. Doctor Who Magazine #498 is for the fans and features a comic strip, interviews with the creators, merchandise and lots of Who stories. Doctor Who Adventures Magazine #11 has posters, comics and puzzle for the Doctor Who fan. The difference in these two is that the later magazine is for those fans that are slightly younger, say 8 and older. Both publications are OK for any age, but with the vocabulary and price point ($10.99 and $7.99) will mean that readers and parents who are Whovians only will want to dive into these two.

Dragons: Riders of Berk Collection, Figment 2: Legacy of Imagination, Ghostbusters International #3 and a couple others hit shelves for young readers too.

Hildafolk is a charming story for any age about a young girl who is daydreaming under a tree in the mountains and goes on a magical adventure. It’s from Nobrow Press and a creative book that is for those that want a fresh read to buzz on about.

Superheroes this week: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6, Skylanders Superchargers #6 and lots of others. What’s great about the all age comics this week that are superhero oriented is that they’re for boys or girls.

For new comic book day this week there are some cool, fresh titles in all age comics for your young reader to discover. There are also a couple classics and a vintage board game gets a Star Wars spin-or roll of the dice in this case.

In science fiction you can check out two new Doctor Who comics. These comics are OK for any age on the content, but the vocabulary is such that younger readers might not be attracted to it. Ages 9 and up should be able to read, understand, have fun with it and be their own Timelord. Godzilla: Oblivion is a new five issue mini-series that your 11 year old and up can get into because of art and monster style combat. For ages 10 and up who love Risk they can get Risk: Star Wars, which recreates the final parts of Return of the Jedi.

Superheroes this week has Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the all age comic that’s based on the Disney XD television series. The trade paperback of Super Angry Birds and a reprint of War of the Gods, a Wonder Woman story arc from the early 90’s are both great for folks who want longer form reading of their favorites.

Humor titles this week have the fifth issue of Jughead, Riverdale’s go-to hungry teen and closet romantic. Simpsons Illustrated #22 compiles three stories from Simpson’s Comics which is one of the best all age comics out there today. Invader Zim #3, Jem & The Holograms #13 and a couple other books also hit shelves this week to tickle the funny bone.

The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on your order. Where is your closest comic book store? Just put your zip code into the comic book store locator and you’ll be there before you know it. Free Comic Book Day is May 7; we’ll have more on that in the coming weeks including a look at the all age comics you can get for free that day.

Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #729 review

Our 4 year old absolutely loves Mickey Mouse. It’s his go-to streaming programming on Roku and that’s with only having a handful of Christmas or Halloween episodes. Thus, Mickey is his comic of choice, even though he can’t read yet. In 2015 IDW Publishing relaunched a variety of Walt Disney titles including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories. The later was kept at its previous numerical sequencing to pay homage to the decades of work that went into the title.

This week in all age comics we’re pumped because our favorite books come out, plus lots of others that will appeal to young readers. For the record, our current favorites are Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons, Usagi Yojimbo, Lumberjanes and Simpsons Comics. Everything but Dragons is great for any age, while the Henson title is good for slightly older kids, say 12 and up.

What will your young reader want to dig into? If your child is into Adventure Time they’ll like Adventure Time Ice King #3, it’s a story all about Ice King on his own. There is also a new Adventure Time Trade Paperback that collects issues 35-39 of the regular comic book. The reboot of Archie great stuff with all new artwork, stories that tweens will be able to learn from and laugh to. Its trade paperback that collects issues 1-6 is out.

For the young Disney reader they can check out Uncle Scrooge #12 or the trade paperback Uncle Scrooge Peril of Pandora’s Box that collects issues 7-9 of the series.

It’s a busy week for action with two new Doctor Who books, Mickey Mouse, My Little Pony, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess and others. There are also two Star Wars Magazines coming out this week that appear similar, but are quite different-which we shall explain in the podcast.

It’s a busy week for humor and science fiction this week in new all age comics. There’s only one superhero book for kids coming out this week and the rest are divided up between those two categories.

Plan ahead now for Free Comic Book Day on May 7, it’s where you can pick up free comics….just as the name states. Many of these titles will be OK for the all age audience and closer to then we’ll highlight all of them.

Adventure Time hits a milestone this week with #50, Aw Yeah Comics from Dark Horse brings out Action Cat & Adventure Bug is what I think will be a fabulous comic about good and evil with art that looks like classic Pink Panther from the 70’s.

Back to the Future #6 starts a brand new story arc, a new Haunted Mansion mini-series from Marvel kicks off this week too. Yes, it’s the same Haunted Mansion as in the ride at Walt Disney World, but, it’s one of the cooler rides at Disney and this comic won’t be graphic, so we’re game. Luna the Vampire #3 ends its mini-series run for this comic that’s great for girls who are looking for a book that’s odd and quite funny. There are also a couple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (including a team up with Batman!), MLP and Doctor Who books.

The links will take you to TFAW, where you’ll save up to 20% on your comic orders. If you’re looking for the closest comic book store to you just pop in your zip code to the comic book store locator and you’ll be there quicker than a voyage on the Enterprise, but slower than a TARDIS.
