Each Wednesday is new comic book day when multiple dozens of new comics arrive at stores. In that group are some of the best all ages comics. The comic books vary from week to week, but there are always some great ones out there. To find your closest comic book store just do a search for comic book store locator and one can easily be found within about 20 miles of you. The week the new all ages comics include some My Little Pony books (just in time for the film!), Go Go Power Rangers, a Star Wars Little Golden Book and many others. Here are five of the stand out best all ages comics and graphic novels that are out this week.
Big Nate: A Good Old Fashioned Wedgie
Big Nate is a classic comic strip. It feels odd to say that it’s ‘classic’ when new comic strips are still being published. However, all you need to do is read a series of them to realize that Big Nate is timeless and ages 7 and up will double over with laughter. The latest collection is Big Nate: A Good Old Fashioned Wedgie.
Mighty Jack and the Goblin King
From Little Robot to Zita the Space Girl author Ben Hatke has created some fabulous worlds that engage and entertain young readers. His space traveling hero is back, Mighty Jack and the Goblin King is the second book in this series. If you liked Mighty Jack then you’ll really love The Goblin King. It’s even better than the first one because it’s got a faster pace, has lots of action and still manages to develop Maddy, Jack and Lilly. This is kind of graphic novel that you can read to any age child.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens graphic novel
I would’ve loved this if I was a kid. Star Wars: The Force Awakens graphic novel is available for the first time in the U.S. This is BB-8, Kylo Ren, Rey, Finn and others in a very good chapter in the Star Wars cannon. It’s a graphic novel that has the great Disney animation that one expects from Disney XD and will translate to new, as well as old fans.
Harvey Hits
Casper the Friendly Ghost, Richie Rich and other classic Harvey Hits characters are back in their own monthly series. It was initially published in the late 60’s and this new, updated version from Joe Books is one of the best all ages comics for ages 5 and up.
Doctor Who Lost Dimension Alpha
We’re fans of the Doctor Who comic, but I can understand why some people are hesitant to jump in to it. Many of the stories are ongoing and folks don’t want to enter the story in the middle. For those people; Doctor Who Lost Dimension Alpha is for you, as well as, the Whovians who like time and space. This is a mini-series that has a danger so large that it requires the help of many doctors. Doctor Who does take some reading, so this comic book will be OK for ages 9 and up.
