The new all age comic books for Wednesday, July 8, 2015

It’s the middle of summer and a good week to get inside and dig the new all age comic books this week. There are some nice graphic novels out, a couple go-to single issues and one of the biggest character revamps to his the all age market in generations.

Kids will love Scooby Doo Where Are You? #59, it’s always a safe bet. Spongebob Comics #46 is one that our oldest son loves and it’s easy to see why. It has several short stories, all of which have different styles of art, the characters are big, funny and they all already have a place in his mind. Guardians of the Galaxy Digest is an all ages look at our favorite superhero team. This series is funny, action packed and A-OK for kids of any age.

The biggest change comes for Riverdale’s own Archie. Archie #1 comes out with brand new artwork. Sure the stories in Archie the past couple of years have reflected contemporary themes, but the art has remained the same. That all changes with this issue.

The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, July 1, 2015

Summer road trips. That is why today is a great day to visit the comic book store to dig into the all age comic books. The kids are in the back seat, you can get a couple new reads to surprise them, plus there may even be some comics leftover from Free Comic Book Day. You’re in luck because this is a great week to jump into some new comics for any age.

Age of Reptiles is great for 10+. It’s all art, but some of the illustrations are dinosaur violence, if your child is OK with nature, predatory type things then buy this. The art is simply some of the prettiest that I’ve seen in any comic this year.

Bat Mite #2 and Bizarro #2 come out this week, they’re the mini-series from DC Comics that are about each character’s adventures. Mickey Mouse #2 comes out, as does My Little Pony: Friends Forever. Our oldest son asks about MLP all the time, he’ll be stoked that it comes out.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, June 24, 2015

It’s the first official new comic book day of summer and it’s hot. Really, it’s been 90+ for the past 12 days and the extended forecast calls for the same. One grand way to beat that heat is to head out to your local comic book shop with the kids and dig on some all age comic books. There are also some cool graphic novels and hard cover books that we’re highlighting this week, plus one cool décor piece for the Doctor Who dads out there.

Futurama Comics #75 is always dependable, the new Mickey Mouse #1 comic comes out this week, a new story arc on Adventure Time starts this month, Skylanders, Donald Duck #2, Batman ’66 #24, Adventure Time #41 and others.

Fantagraphics has a couple hard cover books with old school Peanuts and Uncle Scrooge comics. Kids will also be interested in Dragons: Riders of Berk graphic novel. Netflix has a new original series Dragons: Race to the Edge that is supposedly very good and could spike interest in written content, so keep the aforementioned graphic novel on your radar.

The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, June 17, 2015

If there is a theme this week for the new all age comic books it’s ‘fresh’. I don’t Kool and the Gang fresh, I mean newer titles that haven’t been around as long as the classics. There are still a handful of classic titles out this week, but by and large it’s new stuff that the kids are reading-and it’s great.

We’re excited about all of them, but are really curious to check out Mega Man. At this year’s Free Comic Book Day I looked over their offering and was impressed. This is a good time to jump on this comic because they’re in the middle of a crossover with Sonic. From what I’ve seen of it the series has enough action, while keeping the story and vocabulary OK for all ages.

Also of note this week is Teen Titans! GO, Usagi Yojimbo, Spongebob Comics Annual Swimtacular, Simpsons Comics, Lumberjanes and a couple books of old school Peanuts comic strips. The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, June 10, 2015

The new all age comic books this week offer something for every reader. It’s a huge week if you like titles that appeal to girls, boys, cartoons, classics or new stories that appeal to anyone. If you like Adventure Time you’ve got three options to choose from, a big Archie book, the start of Clarence and the final Mouse Guard Legends of the Guard. The Adventures of Aero-Girl also look really good with big, playful art and a story that has enough action and movement for anyone.

We’re really looking forward to Ghostbusters Get Real. The other week at MomoCon I met Erik Burnham who has handled stories for Galaxy Quest, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Johnny Bravo and many more all age comic books. He told me about a con that he went to recently and a fan told him about how they read comics to their child before bedtime. It was fast becoming this parent’s favorite time in their bedtime ritual because they could see how much fun the child was having.

That’s only one way that parents can use all age comic books. If your child is old enough to read then they’ll enjoy following the story at their own pace and there is an comic book for any child. Most stores will have an all ages section and the staff will certainly help you find the all age comic books because they want to sell them and it supports their future client base.

Here’s the list of all the new comics this week. The links will save you 10% over at TFAW, but if you want them today, just pop out to your local store.

Our 5YO son just asked to read My Little Pony: Friends Forever #17

Your five year old son is requesting a My Little Pony comic book. Don’t panic. It’s OK. He’s five and if he wants to read, then having material that he wants to read are key towards making that happen. Plus, My Little Pony is a fine all ages comic book that has lots to love for boys and girls.

Let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. Reading a My Little Pony comic doesn’t mean that you son is gay, weird, or not going to love the Avengers soon. And even if your son is any of those things you’ll still love them, guide them to adulthood and instill upon them the values of quality, independent comic books.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, June 3, 2015

Oh what a week. This week for new all age comic books sees one that I’ve been waiting months for, the last as we know it, two new all age titles, some classics, one that makes us laugh out loud just by the cover and a new summer cross over worth checking out.

Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians is one that I’ve been waiting for since I heard about it. It’s wordless and features some dinosaur violence, so it might be too young for the really small kids, but our 5 year old will love this. And the art, on my, the previews I’ve seen for this are gorgeous and really put the art in comic book.

Archie is about to end. It’s issue 666 and number one, with entirely new drawings are coming. DC has two new all age comics, Bizarro and Bat Mite both start their six issue run and DC also has Looney Tunes #225 out also. Simpsons Illustrated is great for non-regular readers of Simpsons Comics, Mickey Mouse #1 comes out and Regular Show #24 simply makes us laugh by the cover. Our five year old also wants the new My Little Pony.
