New All Age Comic Books

Ask a kid to learn and they'll try to weasel out of it. How Do Meerkats Order Pizza?, well, the answer to that is something that I must find out, those same kids will say. This is non-fiction, graphic novel, reference book greatness that puts the fun first, but ensures that you'll learn something too. The post How Do Meerkats Order Pizza? the must-see non-fiction that kids didn't ask for appeared first on Daddy Mojo.

You So Black, an illustrated, poetic book about being Black for young audiences that's based on the 2019 Trumpet Awards performance. Its goal is empowering, but it was more impactful in its original medium to the audience that night, than it is as a book.   The post Episode 41: You So Black, a niche book some kids need to see, and get strength from appeared first on Daddy Mojo.

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.

Middle school readers who are looking for a fun graphic novel should check out 7 Good Reasons Not to Grow Up. Upper elementary school readers will love Super Side Kicks-No Adults Allowed by Gavin Aung Than on Random House. Those same ages who are looking for a left-of-center comic book need to look at The Magnificent Ms. Marvel. This is great for those tween readers who want superhero action, but need something that’s not typical and still very fun. Power Rangers also starts a new chapter. This new series brings a new team with all new dangers. Those upper elementary readers who are looking for a series that’s loaded with action should give this a look.

For those upper elementary ages you need to read Goosebumps Secrets of the Swamp. This series from IDW Publishing is perfect for those fans who enjoy the Marvel Action comic book series from the same publisher. This presents age-appropriate scares and monsters for those eight-year-old readers who love great art with their written story. This is fun stuff that will hit those ages, plus demo up through middle school.

Normally, Halloween week is one of the busiest of the year for new releases. This year it’s a bit slower than most, but there are still some great all age comic books for readers in upper elementary school and up. Those elementary school readers, who also like some great art to move the story along are most likely fans of Geronimo Stilton. For those people, Geronimo Stilton Reporter-Paws Off Cheddarface! from Papercutz will be just their jam.

This week in all age comic books has lots of our go-to comic books, some cool teen releases, as well as a couple great board books for those pre-k through kindergarten geeklings. Our favorite, and our 11-year-old son’s are Scooby Doo Where Are You! #106 and The Amazing Spider-Man #50. The former is a classic comic book that’s at home in any elementary school library (or home setting!) and the latter is great for mid-elementary school readers and up (way up!).

Having said all of that, this is an excellent week for all age comic books and graphic novels. It’s obvious that there were many graphic novels that were delayed and are now hitting shelves at the same time. Comic book publishers tried to avoid that from happening with success, even though it meant no product coming out for two months. For elementary aged readers they have Pizza and Taco: Who’s The Best?. There are also a couple of Disney graphic novels and Star Wars Adventures, which will be great for ages 6 and up.

The all age comic books aren’t up to their usual volume, but there are some nice ones this week that will attract readers in middle elementary school and up. Cosmo is one of those titles that elementary school libraries need to have. It’s got some great science-fiction action and humor that’s perfect for ages 6-9. Marvel Action Captain Marvel is an outstanding monthly series from IDW Publishing, in conjunction with Marvel Comics. This has all of the action that you’d expect in a great comic book, but is also appropriate for younger readers.

So, there are some new all age comic books out this week, but it’s just a handful of them. Namely, we’re excited about reading Star Wars Adventures Clone Wars, Jim Henson Storyteller Ghosts and Looney Tunes. However, there are also some comics out there for the humor or Disney people.

The newest collection, Big Nate Blow The Roof Off! is the kind of book that mid elementary school kids are curious about and those upper elementary ages will read and memorize. Middle school kids also will read Big Nate and know that this comic book parallels their lives. In the podcast we’ll talk about that, Magnificent Ms. Marvel, Marvel Action Captain Marvel, Ben 10 The Manchester Mystery and much more. For now, here are all of this week’s all age comic books.

When I first saw InvestiGators I said “this is the next Dog Man”. Our 10 year-old was within hearing distance and said, “the new Dog Man is here”? I followed up by saying that InvestiGators by John Patrick Green is the next Dog Man in that it has the manic sense of fun, plus the bright colors that elementary through middle school readers love. Once you read InvestiGators you’ll immediately want to read more. It’s funny and is just the sort of thing that ages 7 and up want to read.

If you’ve got a true Disney Princess fan in your house then Disney Cinderella: The Story of the Movie in Comics from Dark Horse Comics is something you should look into. The text might be a big challenging for younger readers, but if they’re really into this tale then it’s a can’t miss graphic novel. One great monthly comic book that might be under your radar is Magnificent Ms. Marvel. This week has the second printing of #11 from that series. Anytime a fun or cool comic book gets a second print run we like to feature it here. The third run from issue #1 of the Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team up that’s happening now has just been released. That team up is great and one of the best things we’re reading now.
