If you’re looking for a sign to dig into the cool all age comic cooks, this is it.

Dumbo, loony Tunes, moon girl, teen titans, teen titans go, marvel, comic books, all age comic books, all age comics

There are some weeks where a much higher than average number of go-to comic books hit the shelf it’s a virtual no brainer to visit your local comic book store. In the podcast we’ll chat about Dumbo, Scooby, Teen Titans, Moon Girl and much more. To see the entire list of comic books that are OK for ages 6 and up just look down in the post. For now let’s look at three great comic books that will be great for elementary ages and up.

Barbie: Fashion Superstar

The landscape for all age comic books has shifted dramatically over the past couple of years. It’s gone from very few girl-centric comics to very few all age super heroes to where now there is something for every 6 and up. Barbie even has her line up of graphic novels from Papercutz. Barbie: Fashion Superstar features her as a fashion entrepreneur when things go awry at a show. It’s business savvy, plus the fashion sense that people have come to expect from Barbie.

Looney Tunes #248

Go into any elementary school library and there’s bound to be at least one issue of Looney Tunes. This is one of our go-to all age comic books. If the kids or I are looking for a solid, entertaining comic book this is it. As there’s no ongoing story line each issue stands on its own. They’re new stories, every other month that have that classic Warner Bros vibe. Bonus: the Looney Tunes comic book is only $2.99.

Jim Henson Beneath the Dark Crystal #8 of #12

Jim Henson Beneath the Dark Crystal is a mini-series from Boom Studios! The content isn’t gratuitous, but it’s realistically drawn and has too much reading for elementary school kids to really enjoy. This is one for those middle-Earth kids who want a fable, but not the Jack and the Beanstalk variety. This story has its roots from The Dark Crystal and will be of interest to those who liked it or are in middle school and want some fresh goblins and monsters.

Twas the week before Christmas when all through the stacks,

Not many new comics were hitting the racks.

The children were wanting new comics to read

In hopes that their store had just what they need.

Fewer than usual all age comics there are

and Vision’s not in any of them by far

But mom in her Kia and I in my Quest

Will visit the comic book store to seek what’s best

The kids do love Mickey Mouse

His best friend has his own house.

Donald Quest is steam punk action duck

From IDW, it’s in store unless you’re out of luck.

Old school parents will remember this one.

Pink Panther Cartoon Hour Special, wasn’t that fun?

A one-shot comic, kids will like and won’t make you feel old

Including, The Ant and Aardvark, plus the Texas Toads

A modern classic that shares the surname of the Juice

But this is no airport that he’s running through loose

This is Simpson’s Comics, issue #235, isn’t that nice?

With Bart, Lisa and Maggie going to see Krusty on Ice.

Now super heroes, Marvel Universe Ultron and Teen Titans Go!

What? Only two super heroes this week, say it’s not so.

It is, that is true but Marvel Universe Avengers Revolution graphic novel

Is one that kids 7 and up will be able to read, with art to marvel

As all age classics are Teen Titans Go! fits the bill,

the comic is great and at $2.99 it’s just the thrill

Beast Boy on cover, many pranks he’s been pulling

But Titans Tower, Cyborg and crew won’t put up with fooling

He’s all dressed in ninja clothing, a period comic it is he

For the right kids though, Usagi Yojimbo is just what they need be

Invader Zim, an undercover alien comes to Earth

Unknown to all, except to Dib and Gaz who know his worth

A couple more comics for all ages you’ll see this week

Many of which the attention of kids 5 and up they’ll pique

Adventure Time Comics, Back to the Future, Doctor Who

A Rogue One Coloring Book and others await you too

Now it’s up to you to stuff the stockings right

Lest you wake up Christmas morn to a child full of fright

It’s better to have all the comics they want

so it’s a Merry Christmas and you won’t have to front.

What does your young reader want? There are all age comics for any reader and this week marks a lots of books for them (or you…) to dive into head first. The sci-fi fandom can celebrate two Star Wars, one Star Trek, a couple Doctor Who books and Lumberjanes; which falls between categories to an extent, but is one of the best all age comics being printed today. Superheroes can rest easy with Marvel Universe Avengers Assemble Season Two #15 and a classic Batman story featuring Ra’s Al Ghul’s first appearance.

For our purposes, Animation also includes video games. This is a massive category and a chance for kids to read about what they really want to read about. Your kids play Skylanders? If they watch Adventure Time, The Simpsons, Transformers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or others then there is a comic coming out this week that is right up their alley.

The Fables is the stuff of middle Earth and their counterparts. Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons #2 and Usagi Yojimbo #151 are out this week. Due to the bigger words and story, Storyteller Dragons is great for kids 10 and up. The art in this book is amazing and is our personal favorite now. Usagi Yojimbo is great for 6 and older; but the younger ages probably won’t want to read it. It’s the story of a anthropomorphic ninja rabbit in Japan and each issue has great action and a really great story. This is one of our go-to comics and kids who like something different, but oh-so excellent, will relish the experience and come back to this title over and over.
