Let’s combine the new all-age comic books from last week into this week, shall we? Thanksgiving week was a little skinny and the first week in December is lighter than usual so it’s a great time to visit your local comic book store and see what’s new. Every Tuesday new DC Comic Books are released, while everything else is still released on new comic book day, which is Wednesday. Whatever you’re looking for, there are lots of great options in all age comic books to catch up on.
Those preschool through third-grade readers who want to get off on the right reading foot needs to check out Pirate Stew by Neil Gaiman, with illustrations by Chris Riddell. This is silly, read-along, pirate fun that will introduce kids to an author that they’ll learn to love.
Kids love knock, knock jokes. Smart kids love Doctor Who. Combine the two and you’ve got Doctor Who, Knock, Knock! Who’s There? Joke Book that’ll make those non-Whovians wish they had BBC America, BritBox, or HBO Max. One of the best comic books on the market place is ending its run. Lumberjanes is a fabulous comic book that’ll entertain readers aged 9 and up. It might attract more girl readers than boys simply due to the fact that it takes place at a summer camp for girls. However, the story, action, and humor make this one of the great comic books that anyone will enjoy if they give it a chance.
There are also two Sonic the Hedgehog comics out this week. This series is great for elementary school readers and delivers action with humor and just enough reading to make those younger readers want to read more. In middle through high-school and up is Art of Star Wars Mandalorian. This looks at the concept art behind the hit Disney + show. It’s not a casual book that will be confused with a comic book. The price point is $40 and it’s more of a coffee table book for the Star Wars soul. It’s the art that will be demo friendly to those ages 10 and up, just have them look at it with clean hands.
Now, here are all of the all age comic books for this week.
