This is one of those weeks in all age comic books. It’s a great week with lots of comic books that will entertain elementary school aged readers all the way through those middle and high school readers who are looking for something just left of center. Lumberjanes is winding down its series and #75 is its next-to-last issue. This comic book blends science-fiction, humor, friendship and so much more that each issue could be classed as science-fiction, action or humor. It’s great for upper-elementary and up. Visit any middle-school library and you’ll be lucky to find any Lumberjanes graphic novel because they’re more than likely checked out.
Elementary school students, and their libraries, love Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes #257 is out this week and everybody will love it. I love it. Our 11-year-old has loved this comic book since he was seven-years-old. It’s a classic.
Marvel Action Avengers #2 is one of those all age comic books that combine humor, as well as, the action that young readers want. This comic book is one that doesn’t water down or ‘baby-ize’ it to make it interesting to those ages. It’ll be appropriate for ages eight and up.
If you’re a middle school reader or older and want an intelligent graphic novel that delivers dread check out Jim Henson The Storyteller Ghosts. The art and story in this graphic novel are as good as it gets in stories that are OK for children. It might be a bit too much for elementary school, but if you love deep, rich art with spooky dread this is a must-read.
