New all age comic books for June 1

Subscribe: RSS

The first week of summer vacation and the new all age comic books for the week are a great chance to take the kids out to the store. This is just a reminder to try to not have them touch the trinkets, models or anything in the store. When we first started going weekly I could see the look of dread in the staff’s eyes, now they know the kids and are great with them.

In humor comic books you can dig into Penguins of Madagascar trade paperback that collects issues 1-4 of the mini-series and is quite good. Uncle Scrooge has two new offerings this week, issue #15 and a trade paperback called Eternal Knot. Television favorites and great comics in their own right, Bob’s Burgers and Regular Show are out too.

It’s also a good week for all age superheroes with Teen Titans GO!, Power Rangers Pink, Marvel Universe Avengers Assemble Civil War and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything can get your young reader on the right path.

Science fiction has a $1 comic from IDW for Ghostbusters that you must pick up. Ghosbusters, The New Ghostbusters is a great all age comic book and one that the entire family can get behind. This is a reprint of earlier stories that’ll serve as an introduction for only a buck. There are lots of other great science fiction titles in the post and podcast.

Also in the podcast we’ll touch on the changes that DC Comics are going through. They’ve lowered the price of their headline comics to $2.99, with each two issues of each title coming out monthly. The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save 20% on any order and if you want to find your closest comic book store just pop your zip code into the comic book store locator.

Photos from MomoCon – Anime, Manga, all age Con in Atlanta

Our second year in attending MomoCon was even better than the first. Part of that was due to our kids now being 4 and 6, but part of that was due to us knowing what to expect. MomoCon is a fan convention that bring together anime, manga, games, animation and comics-and it is all age friendly. We’re 100% down with cons that up the ante and make it more for the adults, but a good all age Con is that ensures a future fan base and lets the parents have fun is welcome.

Spidey #6 is all age comic book web slinging magic

There was a three year period when I was a kid where I read every issue of Spidey comics. I look back at those old comics now and still recall re-reading them, looking at the art, the dog eared pages and more. An updated version of that classic Spidey comic book is out and it’s bound to create the same long lasting memories for today’s kids.

Spidey is not the same as the Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man. The later is based on the Disney XD television series and has an All Ages rating from Marvel Comics. The former is also from Marvel, but for some reason is rated teen. Parents don’t be put off by that teen rating on Spidey. This is a comic book that ages 7 and up will absolutely love, packed with action, villains and the issues that face an upper-middle school aged student.

Ghostbusters International #5, Louvre no ghost behind

Ghostbusters International #5 from IDW is out in comic book stores. It’s not the summer of Ghostbusters, it just feels that way. What with the movie coming out and lots of hopefully cool toys it’s enough to make Venkman at a loss for words. This is a cool mini-series that puts our Ghosbutsters, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz ad Winston Zeddemore on European soil where they see exotic ghosts in landmark locations at the bidding of their client Erland Vinter who is looking for an ancient artifact. But does their client have more sinister aspersions than the team running afoul of a blood red slime monster?

New all age comic books for May 25, 2016

In this week’s all age comic books we’ll mention some great new #1 books, as well as, the rating system that some publishers have. You’re not really buying the #1 issues just because you think they’ll be worth money, are you? I’m no investment expert, but making money off something is directly related to what a person will pay you for it. Based on that statement, current comics might not be a good investment, but they sure are fun to read.

I mention that because there are a couple great new #1 books out this week. They’re worth getting because they’re fun and really entertaining, but probably won’t appreciate enough to help you live out your golden years on an island. In humor all age comic books do yourself a favor and get Pink Panther #1. The Free Comic Book Day sampler of this title was one of the best that you could pick up and I suspect that the first issue in their regular series run will be equally as great. Each issue has a brand new story with the pink and a couple shorter classic stories that were published back in the day. Dreamworks Shrek #1 is also out from the same folks who do Madagascar, which is also out this week.

Superhero comics have Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man Contest of Champions, Teen Titans Go-Heroes on Patrol , Action Lab Dog of Wonder and two Squirrel Girl books. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl trade paperback and issue #8 are out and rated T for teens. However, this book is OK for any age reader as it traces the life of a teenager with squirrel superpowers. There’s nothing bad that happens, the language is fine, it’s just that she experiences stress, boy issues and other common teen problems.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is like that too. It’s rated T, from Marvel but tells the story of a middle school girl with her pet dinosaur, fighting crime and wormholes from other dimensions. This comic book is packed with action, fun to read and great for ages 7 and up. In other all age comic books for the action sect check out Back to the Future #8, Munchkin #17, Sonic, Welcome to Showside and others.

There’s a podcast that goes along with this post. It’s just under 15 minutes and details 12 of the comic books that you and your young reader will like and why. The links will take you to TFAW, where you’ll save 20% on your order. To find your closest comic book store just punch in your zip code and press the gas.
