New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, August 19, 2015

If you live in the southeast it’s only a scant couple of weeks before Dragon Con! Held over Labor Day in Atlanta it’s one of the nation’s largest cons, has massive fan sessions, an entire building (almost) full of collectibles, a parade that will leave you in awe and a crowd that will be about 70,000 deep. Don’t let that number scare you off, the parade is a must see for families and really is quite fun-even though some of the costumes are a bit too scary for the small kids.

Now-on with the new all age comics! Archie has been rebooted and is really fun, #2 comes out this week and is a great read for girls OR boys. Yeah, I said it. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #33 comes out this week too, again, it’s OK if the boys read it. There are two TMNT books out this week, #49 from the comic series and Mutanimals TBP, that collects a series of issues from the comic.

Our favorite release this week though isn’t even a comic, but it is all age appropriate and Star Wars. Star Wars Original Topps Trading Card Series Vol. 1. It collects all five of the series for the first Star Wars film in their Topps Trading Card glory in book form. These aren’t the original cards, it’s a book of the original cards, plus the trivia, stickers, story summaries, puzzle cards-everything except the gum.

Doctor Who Four Doctors, superb and in time for Doctor Who Comics Day

You’ll never guess what this post is about. Well actually it’s about two things. Doctor Who, the comic book version, has three incarnations in print. There is a book for the Tenth, Eleventh and now the Twelfth Doctor, who is also in the current version of the television show. Doctor Who Four Doctors is a five week mini-series that comes out each Wednesday through September 9. Also on Saturday, August 15, 2015 readers can celebrate Doctor Who Comics Day at their local shoppe.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Did you hear that Target is going to gender-neutralize most of their children’s areas? I mention this because that’s cool. A building set is a building set and doesn’t need to be a boy’s or girl’s thing, they’ll figure it out which one they like to build on. Most of the all age comic books are like that too. Sure there are exceptions, but by and large the new comic books this week for kids can be enjoyed by boys or girls.

Mickey Mouse, Scooby Doo Where Are You?, Sonic the Hedgehog, Spongebob Comics and Uncle Scrooge are all out this week. Sonic and Spongebob are much better than you might think. If you’re new to all age comics give them a look because odds are that your child is already very familiar with the characters and will really love it. Home also comes out this week. It’s based on the movie of the same name, but because it doesn’t have the voice over talent or predictable plot it’s worth a look in comic book form.

Ghostbusters Get Real #3 is also great. It has the spirit of the classic movie with updated elements to relate to today’s kids.

There are two Archie compilations released. This is not the update that they did to modernize the characters. These are the more rounded, comic looking characters that you’re used to. TMNT has two books out, and while the stories there are OK for all ages, boys will be more attracted to the mutant turtles than girls. It’s the opposite for My Little Pony, more girls will be attracted to that title, but our son loves to read it also.

10 years of Mouse Guard? Yes. Mad Magazine? For those 9 or older, yes. There are lots of other options, just dig through the list to see what suits you. The links will take you to TFAW, where you’ll save at least 10% on each order. If you want to find your local comic book store you can do that too.

Listen closely and you’ll hear the happy cries of kids going back to school and the parents who are taking them there. It’s win/win. You should also listen for fans of Regular Show because they’ve got issue #26 and a original graphic novel from them called Regular Show Noir Means Noir Buddy. The cover for that book alone brings a big smile to our face.

Peanuts is ramping up for the film by re-issuing the ultra early comic strips in book from again. These are some of the strips from the early to mid 50’s and have aged quite well. The Mighty Skullboy Loony, Tunes, Bat-Mite and Bob’s Burgers are some of the new all age comics that hit this week.

Fraggle Rock Journey to the Everspring comes out on hardcover this week and is a fabulous series. The art and colors in this book remind you of what you loved about Fraggles or will introduce you to a whole new world.

The links at TFAW will save you at least 20% on your comics. If you want to find you local comic book store just dig into the locator and visit them today.

Hello Dog Days of Summer! Don’t get freaked out if you look at the list alphabetically and presume that nothing new for the all age comic books and their people new this week. There are new books, it’s just that most of them are after the letter “P” and even then you may have to go to a book store to get them. We’ll explain in a moment, but suffice it to say, get out, support comics that any age can read and it’ll help them, your child will dig them and it’s a great trip out of the house.

Punky Brewster gets a brand new trade paperback as does Sonic Saga, Volume 8, Hedgehog Havoc. Don’t judge Sonic poorly because it’s a video game, this comic is great for any age, has lots of action and features lots of critters for kids to love.

Archie #1 reboots the franchise for today’s teens #LipstickIncident

Archie, Jughead, Riverdale and the Betty or Veronica discussion has been going on since 1941. However, the art for Archie hasn’t changed much since I was a teen in the early 80’s. The stories changed, there was a (gay) wedding, Archie got killed and technology entered the picture, but the art always remained the same. That has completely changed with Archie #1, a complete reboot for one of the longest, continually published comic books on the market.
