Chuck is back with a new DVD. This is Chuck & Friends, the kid friendly truck with his worker friends and a Tonka by another name to parents of a certain age. The Adventures of Chuck & Friends: Rev Your Engines has 10 episodes and a bonus sing-along. Our kids are 5 and 3 and this is the sweet spot for the show.

Thinking about the last or final time something happens can be nostalgic, scary or trigger feelings of remorse. When your children get older you make mental notes about their last this or their final that and most of them don’t matter, but some of them do.
Avengers No More Bullying is a one-shot comic with three different stories by three different superheroes about bullying and good behavior. It stars The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man. The art style in each story is different and consistent with how each hero’s fans know them. The comic succeeds in being entertaining and educational without being preachy or heavy handed. It also presents three all age stories that are appropriate for any age.

When you’re the parent to toddlers and other small people you invite all manner of other small things home too. Your tired immune system saw these microbes, virus’, protozoa and such years ago when you where their age. In the mind’s eye of your child the virus may have a funny cartoon shape, kind of like a doll that was found on the island of misfit toys. Our recent battle with these subprime particles cast doubt upon the humanity of our children. Thankfully it was restored the next day in a hidden gesture that they did weeks ago to other people.

Scooby-Doo! Team Up is exactly what I was expecting from a Scooy-Doo comic book. This is one story, completely stilly, great for all ages and also introduces (?) a new generation to The Jetsons.

It’s an unlikely combination but it all works out in the end for this very enjoyable book that young readers (especially boys) will relate to and laugh at throughout.

Scooby-Doo is classic and timeless. Readers of a certain generation will always associate Shaggy to Casey Kasem and it’s only logical that the comic book should be timeless. And in part, Scooby-Doo Where Are You is great for an all age comic book, but it also feels like something is lacking.

On the surface Capture Creatures has lots going for it. The cover is dreamy, surreal art with an orange fox like creature stampeding through a field of mushrooms and antlered animals. Capture Creatures is from Kaboom, who has a very steady track record with great all age comic books. The inside of the book leaves older readers a little flat, but solidly hits the all age comic book audience.
