Category: All Age Comic Books

This is a look at the new all age comics that are OK for young readers. Some of these comics are also great for any reader :) We’ll review some of them and provide as thorough a list of all the new titles coming out that Wednesday.

Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun

I am a novice geek in that there a couple touchstone franchises I never got into.  I was a casual Star Trek fan (because, let’s face it Star Wars is overall better) and the only Doctor Who I had ever seen were episodes that aired on PBS in the mid 70’s.  All I remembered of that were bad special effects and a tall man with a big hat a poofy hair.  Continue reading Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun

Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2, Volume 3 is great, but too short

A couple of months ago we took a look at Iron Man Armored Adventure.  Now we’re taking a look at volume 3 from season 2 and it’s as good as volume 1.  The animation is crisp, has lots of fast action and perfect for the entire family.  Simply Google the title and you’ll find more than a couple of 5 year old boys singing the theme song.  Continue reading Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2, Volume 3 is great, but too short

The Superior Spider Man #1 review: vengeful and fresh

So if you haven’t checked in on your friendly neighborhood wall crawler here’s what’s new. In the epic (and overpriced) issue of Amazing Spider Man 700, Doctor Octopus died. This would normally be no big deal, but Doc Oct had created a device that switched Peter Parker’s mind with his own, so when our favorite villain with a bowl cut died, it was actually Peter Parker’s mind. Continue reading The Superior Spider Man #1 review: vengeful and fresh

Superman and the Poisoned Planet is a book kids will dig

When I was 7 I started reading Spidey, it was a version of Spider Man that was produced by The Electric Company.  The stories were Spider Man lite, the language & art was cartoonish and the entire comic was focused on young readers.  While the art may take some of the spotlight, with comic books and heroes it all comes down the reading aspects to make a good book really click. Continue reading Superman and the Poisoned Planet is a book kids will dig

Animal Man, Vol 2 Animal Vs. Man is weird, creative and wonderful

Animal Man, Vol 2 Animal Vs Man is the graphic novel that collects issues 7-11 in the series.  Buddy is Animal Man, a somewhat normal hero who can channel various powers from the animals.  Maxine is his daughter who, in addition to Buddy can interact with The Red.  The Red connects humans and animals and allows animal powered heroes to get their powers.  Socks is their cat, who is actually a Totem who can speak to them about The Red and things that will happen to them.

Are you confused yet?  If you are don’t worry, just go with it because Animal Man is the best comic I’ve read from The New 52 re-launch of DC.   Continue reading Animal Man, Vol 2 Animal Vs. Man is weird, creative and wonderful

Spaceman Deluxe Edition is a dark, divisive, mature graphic novel

Spaceman Deluxe Edition is the collected work of the Vertigo, Spaceman comic, issue 1-9.    It’s the story of a post apocalyptic world where major cities are flooded, genetically created spacemen explore alien worlds, do manual labor and reality television entertains the masses.  Continue reading Spaceman Deluxe Edition is a dark, divisive, mature graphic novel

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi Volume 1 review

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Volume 1 collects the five issue mini-series and takes place 25,000 years before the Jedi that we’ve seen in the movies.  Think of it as a world where the Force and Jedi’s are known, but it’s a more innocent place where the players are still figuring things out. Continue reading Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi Volume 1 review
