Usagi Yojimbo#149 is the ninja, all ages anthropomorphic comic you need to read

If you listened to our podcast on the new all age comics this week then you know that we love Usagi Yojimbo. Even based on its description it’s a comic that appeals to us and anyone who is looking for a fresh, well written and perfectly drawn comic that appeals to all ages. A ninja ronin rabbit travels the country where he encounters adventure, friends and other anthropomorphic ninjas intent on doing their thing. Issue #149 of Usagi Yojimbo came out this week and I wanted to purchase it so that I can remind myself-and explain to you how much fun comics can be to all ages.

New All Age Comic books for Wednesday, October 21, 2015

It’s #NCBD and this week has one of our favorite all age comic books, one that should be your favorite, a couple trade paperbacks worth looking at and one book whose art and story are some of the best in the business.

Simpsons Comics comes out this week, it’s issue #224, only $2.99 and one of the most consistent all age comics-that also entertains adults, that you’ll read. Lumberjanes #19 is the comic that your young reader has been waiting for. Its art is timeless, story is relatable for children and it still provides lots of laughs for older readers.

New All Age Comic books for Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Teen Titans Go! #12, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures #3, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess #4, Giant Days #7 and many more are released also.

Possibly the most unique title out there is Usagi Yojimbo. There is nothing like this on the market in its delivery, presentation or overall package.  It’s a black and white title that’s drawn more like an old school cartoon strip with an anthropomorphic ninja rabbit. This is an all ages title that’s smart, highly creative and fun to read. The fact that it’s not in color might put off some young readers, but it shouldn’t. The content in this book is on a very high caliber, much higher than the average comic and just slightly left of center. Issue #149 of Usagi Yojimbo comes out this week and is worth taking a look at if you’re looking for a breath of fresh air in your reading habits.

The New Yoda Chronicles lovingly pokes the Force from all sides

Star Wars is such a massive cultural juggernaut that a little gentle poking and being made fun of is necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I do love Star Wars, but I also enjoy other fun things. For instance, LEGO makes fabulous shows (and films) that skew pop culture in a family friendly way that respects the source material while creating something that is entirely unique.  Star Wars The New Yoda Chronicles is out on DVD and brings all of the wit, charm and action that you expect from their brick-animated creations.

Home by Tim Kubert is a picture perfect (kindie) treat

The brilliance of the Muppets was that despite the fact that it was packaged and written for children it entertained adults as much, if not more. That is what really great children’s entertainment does.  Phineas & Ferb does it that way too. Home by Tim Kubert is the kindie equivalent to them.  It’s packed with great (kindie) music that can legitimately entertain kids and adults without dumbing down the content or demoing it up unnecessarily.
