All age comic books for December 9

This week in all age comic books is nothing to laugh at. Really, there aren’t any comic books that you could categorize as humor. In its place are some of the staple all age comic books, plus an under-the-radar gem that’s great for those middle-school readers.

It’s a great week for web crawlers as The Amazing Spider-Man #54 and Marvel Action Spider-Man: Shock to the System are released. That first title is great for upper-elementary school and older, while that second one is great for middle-elementary school through high school. Upper elementary readers will also enjoy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #112. We looked at this title for the first time in a while and it’s a series that kids will enjoy and parents will approve of. There might be a couple of very mild words in the comic book, but you’re kids have heard and probably said them before if they’re 10 or older.

Lastly, are you 10 or older and looking for a very cool comic book that you’re friends might not be reading? If that is you then Usagi Yojimbo #15 is your jam. It’s about a ronin rabbit who goes about doing good deeds and sometimes getting into trouble. This is one of those all age comic books that has enough story to accompany the art. The violence, mostly implied, might be too much for those young elementary readers, but ages 9 and up who are looking for something fresh need to check this out.

Now, on with all of the all age comic books this week.

This is one of those weeks in all age comic books. It’s a great week with lots of comic books that will entertain elementary school aged readers all the way through those middle and high school readers who are looking for something just left of center. Lumberjanes is winding down its series and #75 is its next-to-last issue. This comic book blends science-fiction, humor, friendship and so much more that each issue could be classed as science-fiction, action or humor. It’s great for upper-elementary and up. Visit any middle-school library and you’ll be lucky to find any Lumberjanes graphic novel because they’re more than likely checked out.

Elementary school students, and their libraries, love Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes #257 is out this week and everybody will love it. I love it. Our 11-year-old has loved this comic book since he was seven-years-old. It’s a classic.

Marvel Action Avengers #2 is one of those all age comic books that combine humor, as well as, the action that young readers want. This comic book is one that doesn’t water down or ‘baby-ize’ it to make it interesting to those ages. It’ll be appropriate for ages eight and up.

If you’re a middle school reader or older and want an intelligent graphic novel that delivers dread check out Jim Henson The Storyteller Ghosts. The art and story in this graphic novel are as good as it gets in stories that are OK for children. It might be a bit too much for elementary school, but if you love deep, rich art with spooky dread this is a must-read.

This week in all age comic books is fun and diverse. It kicks off with two releases from Archie Comics. Archie & Friends Fall Festival is a comic book that retails for only $2.99, while Archie Milestones Jumbo Comics Digest is the square publication that you’ll see at the check-out lane at the supermarket. Both of these are new and on point for those readers in upper elementary and middle school.

Middle school readers who are looking for a fun graphic novel should check out 7 Good Reasons Not to Grow Up. Upper elementary school readers will love Super Side Kicks-No Adults Allowed by Gavin Aung Than on Random House. Those same ages who are looking for a left-of-center comic book need to look at The Magnificent Ms. Marvel. This is great for those tween readers who want superhero action, but need something that’s not typical and still very fun. Power Rangers also starts a new chapter. This new series brings a new team with all new dangers. Those upper elementary readers who are looking for a series that’s loaded with action should give this a look.

Hilda and the Time Worm is a novel that ties in to the Netflix show. This character and the world that creator Luke Pearson have created is timeless and words great for kids aged 8 and up. There’s a great number of all age comic books out this week, to see all of them just jump on past the graphic.

New comic book day is nigh and there are a couple great all age comic books in that mix. Literally, it’s just a couple of new comic books. There are some great elementary school readers in these releases though. Do you have an elementary school student who likes superheroes and needs to read? If that’s the case then they need to check out Stone Arch Books, an imprint of Capstone Publishing. This week has three DC stories that’ll entertain ages seven and up. Batman & Missing Punchline, Cyborg-An Origin Story or Wonder Woman and the Cheetah Challenge all have great art that’s combined with a written story that will make those ages want to read.

For those upper elementary ages you need to read Goosebumps Secrets of the Swamp. This series from IDW Publishing is perfect for those fans who enjoy the Marvel Action comic book series from the same publisher. This presents age-appropriate scares and monsters for those eight-year-old readers who love great art with their written story. This is fun stuff that will hit those ages, plus demo up through middle school.

There are also a couple cool Spider-Man books, a series that’s always great for ages nine and up. Middle school readers who like monsters and robots need to check out The Rise of Ultraman. Issue 3 of this 5 issue mini-series is out this week. This is a fun series that does rely on reading to follow the fine points of the plot. Don’t let that put you off because it’s very well crafted and has some larger than life monsters.

All age comic books for June 3

New comic book day is back and this week it’s in a ‘kind of’ manner. There are a handful of great all age comic books out this week, in addition to a couple graphic novels or trade paperbacks. In comic books those young readers will want to look at Casper’s Spooksville, a very special reprinting of Lumberjanes #1 for only $1, Scooby Doo Where Are You? and more.

In graphic novels, if you have an elementary or middle school girl then you need to check out Phoebe and Her Unicorn’s latest, Camping With Unicorns. This series of graphic novels will mainly appeal to girls, but will cross over to boy readers who allow themselves to get lost in these very funny characters. There’s a sense of timeless, Calvin and Hobbes-esque wonder that the comic strip has. If you haven’t read it online or read one of Simpson’s other books they’re certainly worth a look.

Here are all of this week’s all age comic books. To find the closest comic book store to you just go to comic book store locator and put in your zip code.

So, there are some new all age comic books out this week, but it’s just a handful of them. Namely, we’re excited about reading Star Wars Adventures Clone Wars, Jim Henson Storyteller Ghosts and Looney Tunes. However, there are also some comics out there for the humor or Disney people.

New comic book day still happens for this week. Some publishers have announced when they’re new comic books will stop, slow down and how they’ll handle orders. Stock up this week and monitor their individual websites to see how they handle shipments. We’ll have more on that in a podcast.

What’s more, many of the comic book stores offer online ordering and physical pickup-with delivery to your car once you arrive at the store. If you plan this trip when you’re doing the weekly grocery shopping it’s a win/win situation.

The Giant series from DC Comics is great for introducing under the radar titles or characters. From Beyond The Unknown Giant is just that for us, we don’t know it, it looks loaded with action and is sure to entertain readers in middle school and up. Elementary school readers will want to read Sonic The Hedgehog #27 and Marvel Action Avengers #1. That same age group should check out Super Duck from Archie Comics.

All age comic books for March 11

This is the busiest week for all age comic books and graphic novels in 2020. From pre-k kids, crawlers, board books and all the way through high school there are some great comic books and graphic novels to entertain and educate readers. We say ‘educate’ in the most entertaining of ways. First up is Science Comics: Crows, which is an excellent, non-fiction graphic novel for middle school students and up. It’s funny, factual and will have kids wanting to read about these smart birds with a bad reputation. A slightly easier read is Journey Under The Arctic. This graphic novel is based in fact, but has a story element that some kids could mistake for non-fiction. It does a nice job at teaching kids about some of the animals that live in one of the coldest places on Earth. There are also lots of great all age comic books like Looney Tunes, Captain Marvel, Disney Princesses and more. In the podcast we’ll talk about all of these plus Snoopy First Beagle in Space, some great What Is The Story books and a couple others.
