The all age comic books are slowly coming back. I spoke to our local comic book shop owner last week and they said that this week most publishers would get back to shipping books. That’s evident by the fact that Marvel Comics has some new releases and Graphix has great ones also. In the podcast we’ll chat about a Chuchill graphic novel, The Amazing Spider-Man and one of our favorite series of graphic novels, Bird & Squirrel.

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.
