Here is what I knew about this comic prior to reading it: nothing. But I was looking for something new and different that would have enough action and story to keep me curious while enjoying the art. X-O Manowar #26 is great for action comic fans looking for something fresh.

Sometimes in my search for the new and unique I forget the obvious. I’ve found some great new comics that are perfectly suited for young readers, notably Skyward-which is great all ages action. However, I’ve been reading Simpsons Comics for 21 years, it’s a great all ages comic that my son loves to read-when I let him.

I was priming my wife with all manner of questions about how to describe it. Some of her friends said coo, while other said have fun. Regardless, I knew that she was going with me to be with the boys, which was fine with me. Our child’s first comic con happened when they were 4 and 2, so I knew that they wouldn’t remember much, but I certainly wanted them to have fun. Here are some tips that we learned during our child’s first comic con.
Oh, even though ours was a comic con, the same basic tips can be carried over to a baseball card show or any other fan conference.

Two things: it’s good to have fun and it’s good to save money. Skylanders is also good. Skylanders SWAP Force is also good fun. One of the great things about Skylanders is that every kid who plays the game immediately has a favorite and it’s difficult enough to be competitive, but not impossible. Speaking of a favorite have you voted for your favorite member of the Skylanders Trap Team™ hero finalists yet?

Every summer for the past couple of years Marvel Comics has been putting out event-crossover stories. Certainly it’s an attempt to drive sales, but the stories can also be quite good too. Avengers Vs. X-Men was two years ago and easy to grasp because it was what the title said. The Age of Ultron was 2013 and very good, partially due to building up name awareness for the pending Avengers movie with the same name. This summer’s crossover story, Original Sin, is less grandiose, has characters that aren’t known to broader comic fans but is still enjoyable here’s why.

Salem Hyde is a young witch who is also a typical six year old girl. She’s hyper, gets in arguments with friends, daydreams, is forgetful and is constantly kept company by her smart, talking cat Whammy. Adults will almost certainly be reminded of Calvin & Hobbes when they read Salem Hyde. It’s infectiously cute and has wit, imagination and smiles on every page. In that regards it is just like lots of classic cartoon characters.

This will be fun. I fully credit comic books with making me the strong reader that I am today. I’m also very much into pop (and poop) culture. These roads will intersect in a big way at the Wizard World Atlanta Comic-Con May, 30-June 1. The lineup is huge and I’m going back and forth in my mind as to who I want to see the most.

HeroBear is a comic that I’ve wanted to try for a while. The concept of a young boy and his toy bear coming to life when he taps his nose is super cute. It’s the classic idea of a toy that truly understands a growing kid, when the world seems not to know what to do with him. The art in HeroBear is warm inviting and reminds you of an old friend. HeroBear and the Kid: Saving Time is a five issue miniseries about their adventures that’s good for young readers.
