All age comic books for July 29

These are the new all age comic books this week. I’ve seen the list for next week and it’s much heavier. The Amazing Spider-Man #45 is a great comic book for kids 10 and up. There are mild situations where the action is strong, but it’s nowhere near the level that they’d see in a PG-13 movie. We also must shout out to Usagi Yojimbo Color Classics #5 of #7 on IDW Publishing. This comic book is awesome and we grinned from ear to ear when we heard that Netflix is developing an animated show on the character.

If you’ve got an elementary aged reader and up have then check out a new graphic novel from Plants Vs. Zombies, The Garden Path. This series is so fabulous that you’ll rarely see it in an elementary school library because it’s always being checked out.

Keep an eye out for next week’s all age comic books because there are many more. The publishing schedule is still sorting itself out and you’ll be asked to wear a mask at your local comic book store, but it’s certainly worth supporting those businesses now.

All age comic books, they’ve got issues…the good kind.

All age comic books for July 22

This week in all age comic books is no joke. Literally, there are no new humor books that will interest or be appropriate for elementary aged readers or up. There are a couple superhero or action comic books, but for the most part this is the dog days of summer, albeit a couple weeks early.

If you’re headed to the comic book store this week for DC Comic Books they’ll be arriving on Tuesday. All of the other comic books are still coming out on new comic book day, which is Wednesday. Our local comic book store is pulling all of the DC Comics that we want so that multiple trips aren’t needed.

Another note regarding Free Comic Book Summer, formerly Free Comic Book Day. Some of those free comic books are coming to stores throughout the summer in different weeks. For example, many of the free ones we were looking for aren’t released until later. A complete list of those comic books can be found at Free Comic Book Day.

Superhero

The Amazing Spider-Man Sins Rising Prelude, UE, M, H Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Beyond Grid, TBP, UE, M, H Miles Morales: Spider-Man TBP, Vol 3, UE, M, H

All age comic books for July 15

This week is like the first Monday in May all over again in that it’s Free Comic Book Summer. You see, Free Comic Book Day was cancelled this past May, but in its place is Free Comic Book Summer. For complete details and all of the comic books that you can get for free just check out Free Comic Book Day.

In all age comic books this week there a couple of the go-to comic books that will work for any boy or girl aged 7 and up. Looney Tunes #255 is out and this series is great for elementary ages and up, way up. We love this comic book and reading it with our kids is something we do every time it’s released. Upper elementary ages will also love The Amazing Spider-Man #44. The attitude is great for 10 year old kids and it’s jammed with action.

Jumping the pond this week is Asterix. This amazing popular French comic strip has been translated in is now available in graphic novels. We’ll be giving this one a look as it’s got a B.C feel to us and that’s a strip that we always loved.

If you want to find your local shop for either Free Comic Book Summer or to check out some of this week’s new all age comic books then just punch your zip code into the comic book store finder.

Issues, all age comic books have issues, (the good kind…)

All age comic books for July 1

It’s new comic book day and the all age comic books this week are up to their pre-holiday routine. By that I mean that there are some, but not at the number that there usually are. Publishers are back up to their release schedule, it’s simply that the Wednesday before a holiday is light. Having said that, this week has two great graphic novels in the vein of Science Comics from :01 First Second. Check out History Comics, The Great Chicago Fire or The Roanoke Colony, they’re from :01 First Second, so I bet that the quality and great storytelling behind Science Comics is front and center there also.

In all age comic books, check out Marvel Action Classics Avengers starring Iron Man #1. This series from IDW Publishing is awesome and great for kids in elementary school all the way through middle school.

All age comic books for June 10

It’s new comic book day and there are only a couple things for young readers this week. Disney people will love Moana: The Story of the Movie in Comics as well as, Disney Princess: Follow Your Heart. DC Comics has Batman: The Adventures Continue, this is a six issue mini-series and the first issue is here now. If you loved Batman: The Animated Series then this will be right up your alley. That comic book was an awesome all age comic book that had wit, action and Batman charm, plus it was great for young readers.

If you’ve looking for something new this week check out Science Comics at your local comic book store. These graphic novels are on :01 First Second and present science or non-fiction topics in ways that are educational and fun for those in upper elementary and up.

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.

The all age comic books are slowly coming back. I spoke to our local comic book shop owner last week and they said that this week most publishers would get back to shipping books. That’s evident by the fact that Marvel Comics has some new releases and Graphix has great ones also. In the podcast we’ll chat about a Chuchill graphic novel, The Amazing Spider-Man and one of our favorite series of graphic novels, Bird & Squirrel.

The all age comic books aren’t up to their usual volume, but there are some nice ones this week that will attract readers in middle elementary school and up. Cosmo is one of those titles that elementary school libraries need to have. It’s got some great science-fiction action and humor that’s perfect for ages 6-9. Marvel Action Captain Marvel is an outstanding monthly series from IDW Publishing, in conjunction with Marvel Comics. This has all of the action that you’d expect in a great comic book, but is also appropriate for younger readers.

The rating system:

E=Elementary school readers

UE=Upper elementary school

M=Middle school

H=High school

Bird & Squirrel! Cadwad! Spider-Man! Star Wars! and more!

All age comic books for March 25

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.

For this week there are some great all age comic books that will entertain readers as young as seven and all the way through high school. 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.
