From all age comic books, children’s books and parenting books this is what Daddy Mojo is reading and recommends
This past weekend was Halloween ComicFest at your local comic book store. They had 11 comics that were full sized and 11 that were mini sized-all of them free. The nice folks at Diamond Comics were nice enough to send me some of them. Here’s a look at 4 of the full sized comics to see if they’re worth grabbing up.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered one of the most promising all ages comics that I’ve seen in a while. Lloyd and the Bear is like Calvin & Hobbes in space. Despite my clunky analogy, it’s original, in brilliant full color, appropriate for all ages and enjoyable for adults.

I gave our 4 YO son an ‘all ages’ comic the other day. While the characters were appropriate for any age, they used phrases like “shut up”, “stupid” or “idiot”. Kudos to my wife for catching that. What a relief Llyod and The Bear is, it truly is an all ages comic book that is funny, sharply drawn and creative- everything you’re looking for in a comic book that is OK for young children.

The art of the children’s book is creating something that kids and adults can enjoy. In reality, it’s never just one book. The first book is upbeat and manic, while the second book has a more leisurely pace. Some children’s books will straddle the middle area, like some of Sondra Boynton’s and some will plant their flag in the second category. I’d Know You Anywhere, My Love by Nancy Tillman firmly sticks it in the second category, with its escapist, fun to read lines and lush, surreal illustrations.

A good bedtime story has two ways to look at it: it’s fun for the children to hear and it’s fun for the parents to read. That’s our go-to rule for bedtime stories. If it meets both of those criteria then it’s bound to be something that will last for a long time. On My Way to Bed is the silly, brightly illustrated story about Livi creatively avoiding bedtime. Continue reading On My Way to Bed is silly, bedtime story fun for kids
I read the first issue of The Bunker and didn’t review it. In a way it was like the episode in Star Trek where they first meet the Borg or the let’s kill Hitler episode of Doctor Who. It’s was so imaginative, creative, weird and yet so relatable that you almost wished you hadn’t seen it so that you could watch it for the first time again. I wanted to wait until The Bunker #2 came out to review it, just to see if it could match the level of the first issue. Continue reading The Bunker-an awesome twisty, noir, time traveling apocalypse story
Marvel Comics just started the Infinity storyline. Essentially, most of the Marvel superheroes are in outer space with literally every living being. An evil alliance called The Builders has been created and is destroying worlds. In The Avengers 18, Earth’s superheroes suit up, team with a couple of The Builder and try to crack some heads.
