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.
