Have you heard that the spookiest holiday of the year is
just around the corner? It’s also a great week for all age comic books and a
couple great releases are getting into the seasonal act. Betty and Veronica
Supernatural Stories, Star Wars Adventures gets spooky with Vader’s Castle and
there are still some fab Halloween Comic Fest Mini-Comics for you to get.
In the podcast we’ll chat about Dilbert Turns 30, a new
Super Sons novel-The Foxglove Mission by Ridley Pearson, Swamp Thing,
Lumberjanes and more.
For now, here’s the list of those all age comic books that’ll
be appropriate for readers as young as elementary school, but can skew just a
bit older too.
Tis two weeks before Halloween and all through the comic
book shop lay those all age comic books good for ages 5 and up. Well, some of
them anyway-and for that really young crowd check out Star Wars A Merry Sithmas
Pop-Up book. It’s from Disney and a chance to make your own pop-up book. The 3D
elements won’t be board book quality, so while the presentation is great for those
young ones, just keep their hands a safe distance away. For those readers who
are slightly older Star Wars Adventures: Vader’s Castle or Marvel Action Black
Panther, both of these comic books are highly entertaining and great for ages 7
and up.
In the podcast we’ll chat about Charlie Brown, Scooby Doo, a
great What Is The Story book about Doctor Who and a Superman book that middle
schoolers might be down with.

October is a great time for all age comic books. It’s jammed
with some books that you’d expect, a couple new comics that will bring age
appropriate scares and the Halloween Mini-Comics. We’ve given out the Halloween
Mini-Comics to our child’s classes for years and this year has books from
Blastosaurus, DC Superhero Girls, The Loud House and many more. A pack of these
only costs $4.99, but get them quickly as some titles will certainly sell out
on New Comic Book Day.
In the podcast this week we’re talking about Cartoon Network
Gift Set, Wings of Fire The Graphic Novel-The Hidden Kingdom, Unbeatable
Squirrel Girl, Batman, The Unicorn Whisperer and a couple others. For now, here
are all of this week’s new all age comic books, some that will be OK for
readers in mid-elementary school and a couple left of center titles that will
be great for middle school.
This is a great week for all age comic books if you’ve ever thought that there’s not enough variety. If you’re looking for an elementary school staple they have some element of them included in this week’s release. In the podcast we’ll chat about Blastosaurus, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Scooby-Doo, Care Bears and much more. For now though, here are all of the comic books or graphic novels that will appeal to those in elementary school and up.
What are the all age comic books that you want to read this week?
All age comic books and all age graphic novels. The former
are just individual comic books that come out in a monthly or as a mini-series.
The later are either an original story that’s out for the first time or a collected
series of comic books that encapsulate a story arc from comic books.
This week has some amazing examples of all of them. One of
our favorite original graphic novels has a new entry this week. Laser Moose and
Rabbit Boy is so much fun for elementary aged reader and (way…) up. Time Trout
is their latest adventure and is so fun to read. This is the manic sort of
story that will hook in anyone who picks up the book. It’ll make reluctant
readers want to read and give those kids who already love reading an excuse to
re-read it dozens of times. Elementary school readers will also dig Teen Titans
Go!, Catwad-It’s Me, Two and many others.
Middle school readers already have Guts on their radar. The
content might be too much for elementary ages, but some in upper elementary
will be OK with it. The Red Zone is a great example of a graphic novel as a
means of education and entertainment. Granted, the true story of an earthquake isn’t
entertaining, but kids might have difficulty processing massive scale
disasters. This graphic novel opens a window to that experience.
In the podcast we’ll chat about those things plus
Magnificent Ms. Marvel, Archie vs. Predator 2 and more.

This week in all age comic books you’ll notice that the
demographic is noticeably younger. Some
weeks it just happens that way for elementary school readers and this week has
a number of things for those ages including Mr. Wolf’s Class: Lucky Stars,
Hilda and the Mountain King, Pokemon: Sun & Moon and The Baby-Sitters Club
with Boy-Crazy Stacy. For those upper elementary kids and older check out Star
Wars Jedi Academy Volume #8, Amazing Spider-Man #29, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
#48 and more. For a complete list of this week’s all age comic books just
scroll down. The rating system is quite easy to follow and the books will be
appropriate for those ages. Whether or not they will like the individual reader
will like it is up them, but it’s something that’s age appropriate.
This is a great week for all age comic books. Big Nate is
out with two (yes two) new books this week. One of them is the collected comic
strip Big Nate while the other is a board book version of new Big Nate nonsense
and they’re both awesome, but for different ages. Also great for elementary school age kids are
Despicable Me and My Little Pony-both with a Little Golden Book, Mr. Peabody
& Sherman and Seafoam. Middle school ages will enjoy The Okay Witch.
What’s new in all age comic books this week? In the podcast we’ll chat about Marvel Team Up, Tangled and a couple other comic books that tie-in to some announcements made at D23 recently.
If you’re looking for a comic book that’s great for ages 8 and up this week check out Lumberjanes or Invader Zim. If it’s something a little younger you’re looking for dig into Tangled: Hair It Is, My Little Pony or Casper’s Capers. Our favorite all age comic book (or in this case, graphic novel) is Tyna of the Lake. This is volume 3 in the ongoing Gamayun Tales series by Nobrow Press. This graphic novel is beautifully illustrated and full of the sorts of imagery and monsters that live in fables that ages seven and up will love. This a great example of an all age graphic novel that appeals to those in elementary school and up-without watering down the action or adventure older readers yearn for.
