Happy new comic book day!  There are lots for young readers to get behind and dig into some new all age comic books.  Free Comic Book Day is just around the corner and your local comic book store will have a couple free ones that are 100% all ages, many of which we’re big fans of.

This week we’re excited about #2 in Mouse Guard, the art and classic story is something that you might not be expecting in a all ages title. Our oldest loves Spongebob Comics and #43 as well as, My Little Pony.   Now, wait a minute.  My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #2 Tirek comes out today; this is a month long mini-series that showcases the villains in the series?  What, you mean it’s all not ponies and unicorns?  Yes, it’s much cooler than you think and kids do love it.

It is one of the busiest weeks for new all age comic books in a while. The titles are spread out evenly between some great graphic novels like Ben 10, Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors and Regular Show to quality single comics like Abigail and the Snowman, Adventure Time, Bart Simpson, Popeye and more.

Two new releases this week that we’re curious to see are Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Jen and the Holograms.  The first is a mini-series that left us skeptical at first, but if they can make entertaining movies with Pirates of the Caribbean, then why not this?  The second looks like a nice all ages comic, a la, Josie and the Pussycats, but we’ll give it a look over and let you know.

I hesitate using the word ‘sturdy’ to describe the Peanuts comic book.  That’s what you use to describe a table or your balance.               In this case I mean dependable, consistent and as charming as the day is long.  Peanuts is one of the most consistently pleasing all ages comic books that I read.  It’s great for new fans, classic Peanuts and retains all of the warmth, humor and characters that you know.

The lunch lady is one of the most mysterious people at a child’s school.  Lunch lady Dora comes to mind from The Simpsons.  I don’t specifically remember our lunch lady, but I suspect she was the third most feared person at the school, followed by the garbage man and the principal.  The Lunch Witch takes the child’s perspective of Grunhilda, an elementary school lunch lady and imagines her as a real witch as she tries to help Madison.
