New all age comics for October 5

Subscribe: RSS

There are two cool fronts this week. The new mini-comics that you give out for Halloween or for other purposes are out this week. These are small than average, all age comics that are sold in bundles of 25 for only $4.99. They come in a wide variety of titles and can be found at your local comic book store. There is that in addition to the week’s new all age comics and there are some really cool ones.

In Humor comics it’s kind of a bummer that one of our favorite comics, Regular Show is ending its run with issue #40. This is a really funny comic book that has the spirit of the show down, great art and big, funny dialogue. In this issue Mordecai and Rigby have to save the world, by getting Benson the save the world. Ages 9 and up will laugh out loud at this one.

Looney Tunes #233 is out and at a price point of only $2.99 everyone will love this. Archie Meets The Ramones sounds like stunt casting-and it is, but based on previous Archie stunts we’ll buy into this one. I thought Archie Meets The Punisher would suck-it didn’t. I thought the same thing about Archie Meets Predator, it didn’t. Don’t bet against Archie or Riverdale and gabba, gabba, hey your way into this comic book.

One of the coolest comic books we’re excited about this week is Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up Marvel Universe. This is a brand new graphic novel that has Squirrel Girl taking on every Marvel hero and villain. Normally an issue of Squirrel Girl is great for ages 9 and up. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up Marvel Universe is going to be OK for slightly older readers, mainly due to the increased combat and camp humor.

Betty Boop is new this week, but this time she’s fighting ghosts and zombies! It’s good for ages 12 and up. Her appearance is the same, some audiences will enjoy the camp value while others won’t like her look. For audiences looking for a strong, modern girl-power book check out Miraculous Origins Goldie Vance. Issue #6 from Goldie Vance is out and this character is a crime solving tween with her mother and friends in Florida. It’s also a great all ages comic, especially for girls because there’s humor, intrigue, friendships and more that will keep them hooked.

It’s almost one month before Halloween Comicfest, plan ahead for that because it is lots of fun. This week in all age comic books it’s a great week for Disney comic books. Specifically, Joe Books has Darkwing Duck, Disney Frozen, Disney Pixar Finding Dory, Disney Princess and Disney Pirates of the Caribbean. All of those comic books are only $2.99 also, so it’s a great value too.

There are a couple comic books this week that are better geared at slightly older readers who are 9 and older. Future Quest #5 is a fun comic that bring in some classic Hanna Barbara characters, it also has lots of reading and is plot centric. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #2 is a new turtle title that might be too realistic for those younger than 10. Godzilla Rage Across Time #2 has some great art and realistic violence, but again is appropriate for ages 10 and up. There are also a couple Doctor Who comic books out this week. These books are great, but are too complex for those under 9.

Do you have an upper elementary or middle school girl who is looking for something? Check out Heavenly Nostrils Chronicle graphic novel from Razzle Dazzle Unicorn. That age group will also like Jonesy trade paperback, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl are among some of the cool all age comic books out this week that really speak to young girls.

All young readers will absolutely love Star Wars I Am Little Golden Books Library. It’s a chance to share Star Wars books for kids of any age. Elementary ages and up are able to read them and anyone will like looking at the art.

Where is my closest comic book store? The music you hear in the podcast is from Dlay, over at Free Music Archives. Did you check out the podcast?

Every Wednesday is new comic book day; it’s when dozens of new books are released to your local store. In that amount are about two dozen all age comic books that are great for ages 4 and up. Some of the comic books in this list are going to be geared for tweens. We’ll point out those books the best that we can. When in doubt you can email us, trey@daddymojo.net, @daddymojo on twitter or ask your local comic book store, they’re jam packed with knowledge.

Oh-the podcast! Give that a listen if you would, it’s only 15 minutes and we’ll highlight some of the more unique books that are released. A rating on whichever service you’re listening to it on would be great too. Can you do that for us?

Let’s go over the comics that are great, but are for the older readers in the children’s category. These comics are great for ages 10 and up, mainly due to the content, which might have some death, violence or themes that aren’t OK for young kids. Atomic Robo and the Temple of Od and Doctor Who are fun sci-fi mini-series with more reading than younger kids will tolerate. Creepy Case File Margo Maloo graphic novel is a book that ages 9 and up will like, but its scare factor might be too much for younger ones.

Toil and Trouble is a fresh look at the story behind Shakespeare’s MacBeth. The art and story are beautiful, it’s one that age group-if they’re into the classics will eat up.

Our 4 year old loves Donald Duck and issue #17 from IDW is out this week. Invader Zim is a funny series-that you don’t have to know anything about the television show to really enjoy. Adventure Time 2016 Spooktactular #1, Miraculous #5, Angry Birds #9 and lots of others give kids looking for all age comic books many options to choose from.

MoonCop is for the adults. MoonCop is for the kids that get dry, observational humor. Both of these statements are true. From cartoonist Ton Gauld, MoonCop is unlike anything you’ve read before and is such that you can relate to it here on Earth or on the moon.

Happy new comic book day. Each Wednesday dozens upon dozens of new comics hit your local store, dozens of those are great all age comic books. This week has many graphic novels, a couple books you want to check out and some classics too.

If you have an elementary school reader your kid (most likely a boy…) is seriously into Captain Underpants. Dav Pilkey is the author behind that series and his latest book, Dog Man came out last week. Dog Man is a departure from Captain Underpants in that it’s an original graphic novel that was fictionally created by Harold Hutchins and George Beard. They are the main characters in Captain Underpants and serve as the ‘creators’ of Dog Man. Kids 6 and up will love this graphic novel and bug you incessantly about when the second one will be released.

Also in new graphic novels is Big Nate, Revenge of the Cream Puffs by Lincoln Peirce. This cartoon celebrates its 25 year in 2016 and is consistently funny. This graphic novel collects previously released strips and is all color. It’s great for ages 6 and up.

We missed Monty The Dinosaur when it came out two weeks ago. Look for issue #1 because it’s one of the best new all age comic books that you’ll read this year. It’s got a timeless soul and feels like a classic comic strip that you’ll find in your newspaper.

Do you have a reader who is 9 years old and likes monsters? Kaijumax Season 2, #4 is out and is a great monster comic for that age. The action is too much for all ages, but that age can handle big city destruction, massive monsters and the family lessons that go with this book.

Mighty Jack is another graphic novel that age group will love. Its twist is that Jack helps out with his younger sisters during the summer, one of whom is non-verbal Autistic. One day Maddy speaks and tells him to do something that opens up a world of adventure, all in his backyard.

Powerpuff Girls, two World of Reading books, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and lots more hit shelves this week too. Where is my closest comic book store? Just check out the comic book store locator. The music in the podcast is from Dlay, over at Free Music Archives.

All age comic books for September 7

So, you’ve got a kid who wants to read and you know that comic books are a great way to go, but don’t what to recommend to them? Every week we have a listing of the new all age comic books out that just arrived in stores. Some will be the classics that you remember from your youth-but with new art and stories, while others will be brand new characters that make you shake your head in curiosity.

The old school all age comic books have My Little Pony, Scooby Doo Where Are You?, Uncle Scrooge, Spidey and Batman 66’ Meets Man From U.N.C.L.E. graphic novel. My Little Pony will really appeal to girls ages 6 and up, while the rest of them will be great young reading material for boys or girls.

There is also a classic character with a new spin on this particular title, Mickey Mouse Shorts, Season 1, issue 3 (of 4) is out this week. This is a very fun comic book from IDW that tweaks Mickey and company to an almost avant garde manner. It’s still Mickey, Donald, Goofy and friends, but the art is slightly subversive. It’s not R Crumb, but it’s not traditional Disney either. These stories are taken from the Disney Shorts that you see on television and are refreshing and great to read.

File under: kind of new and classic at the same time. Regular Show is the most popular show on Cartoon Network. Regular Show, the comic book from Boom! Studios is funny, strange and something that kids 8 and up will love. This comic book also doesn’t have some of the attitude that parents don’t like about the television show. It’s just on this side of all age comic books to where our 7 year old reads them and laughs, even though some of the humor is above him.

In new comics that parents and kids will love check out, Giant Days #18, Lumberjanes To The Max Hardcover, The Mighty Zodiac #6 (of 6) or Plants Vs. Zombies Volume 5. Lumbejanes is a massive book that collects eight issues of this comic book that is consistently awesome. There is also a new graphic novel out that is perfect for girls 6 and up. DC Super Hero Girls Super Hero High Yearbook takes the girl heroes and villains from DC and puts them in high school together. This is a fun graphic novel series, with all new stories that has action, lessons and a lot of fun for young readers.

Happy new comic book day! Actually #NCBD is every Wednesday, but if you’re reading this on any day other than that make it a great one anyway. This week in all age comic books the superheroes lead the way with a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle title, say that three times fast. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #1 will be great for readers 10 and up, #1 comes out this week and is a great chance for middle schoolers to jump in on the ground floor.

Superhero fans can also read on with Mighty Morhpin Power Rangers #6, Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy #11 and a couple others.

Do you or your kids watch Amazing World of Gumball? It’s on Cartoon Network and is ridiculously happy. Parents have nothing to fear from this show or its comic book counterparty from Boom! Studios. Their Grab Bag Special #1 is out with all new stories and an oversized issue packed with laughs and plenty of sillies.

Disney Princess #6 from Joe Books, Dreamworks Classics trade paperback volume 3 and My Little Pony #45 is out. If you have an older reader who likes smart, funny things have them check out Groo: Fray of the Gods from legendary cartoonist Sergio Aragones. His distinct style of drawing has been lighting up Mad Magazine for decades and it’s a treat to see that he’s still producing new, quality work that entertains all age readers.

If you like Doctor Who this is your week. There are more Doctor Who comic books out than usual this week, get in touch with your Whovian self. Ages 10 and up who like action and mystery need to read Future Quest. This is a fun title from DC Comics that has some reading, so it’s too much for younger kids, but that age will like the intrigue and follow along with a mash up of Hannah Barbara heroes.

Some all age comic books bridge genres. That’s exactly what Mighty Zodiac does. One could easily call this a superhero comic, but the heroes have more in common with the signs of the zodiac. It’s got action, enough words to practice reading and is a great comic book that flies under radar. Check it out.

Every Wednesday is new comic book day when dozens upon dozens of comics hit the stores. In that lot there are at least two dozen all age comic books that are great for any age reader. This week we’re highlighting some really cool ones including a great graphic novel from DC Comics, Looney Tunes Greatest Hits Vol. 1, What’s Up Doc? This collects some classic stories from this long running comic book that’s been published since 1994.

In other all age comic books that young readers will want to read (and are OK with parents), check out Duck Avenger, a new series from IDW, Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony or Strawberry Shortcake. #2 of Mickey Mouse Shorts Season 1 is out too. This is a fun mini-series that offers a re-imagining of Mickey and other characters that pictures them in an art deco way reminiscent of 60’s advertisements.

Your all age super books include the go-to title Teen Titans GO! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #61. The Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover from DC Comics and IDW is out and a very fun graphic novel for readers 10 and up.

That age group will also like Kong of Skull Island, that’s a new mini-series from Boom! Studios. The art in this comic book is realistic and has some flashes of violence and action that might be too much for kids younger than that. Tween readers will love the updated story and it serves as a great primer for the movie next year. Also in action/science fiction is the latest from Lumberjanes, Sonic the Hedgehog, Back to the Future and a neat graphic novel called Bird Boy that’s got enough nature and action to entertain anyone.

Star Wars Original Topps Trading Card Series HC Volume 3, Return of the Jedi is out. These books reprint the original trading cards from the first trilogy. The first two books in this series by Topps were great fun and made us curse our 9 year old self for not keeping them.

Happy #NCBD and this week’s new all age comic books offer something for every reader. Let’s start with the price point reader and there are two great comic books that only cost $2.99, Looney Tunes and Batman 66’ Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, #2 (of 6) are both from DC Comics. They’re also fun comics with well established names, so it’s a great entry point for those reluctant readers.

In humor comics kids will want to check out Dreamworks Classics with Shrek and Madagascar, Regular Show #38, Mickey Mouse Shadow of Colossus trade paperback or the Sonic the Hedgehog trade paperback, Waves of Change.

Superhero has a nice Avengers title from Marvel Comics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures and a turtle title for advanced fans that retails for $28 that lists all of their villains. Older readers, 10 and up might want to check out Torchwood. This is a comic book based on the fabulous show that is also written by John Barrowman, who played Captain Jack in the series. Barrowman is also an accomplished writer and appearing at Dragon Con 2016 too.

In science fiction a trade paperback that we’re excited about is Bera the One Headed Troll. It’s from :01 First Second books and is the story about a troll that finds a human baby in the realm of the trolls. She doesn’t want to hurt the baby, but the same can’t be said for the other trolls. The art in the book from Eric Orchard looks great, is really creative and trollish, without being scary for younger kids to qualify as an all ages comic book, or graphic novel in this case.

Kids 9 and up that dig zombie tales will want to discover Ghoul Scouts Night of the Unliving Undead, #3. This is the story of a group of kids trying to figure out the mystery of a zombie outbreak in town. It’s kid friendly, rated E from Action Lab and is just the thing that’ll appease their Walking Dead curiosity.
