Around the Spider-Verse, a graphic novel collection spins great yarns

Oh Multiverse, you vex us so. The premise of the Multiverse is awesome. Its execution has been sketchy and inconsistent, with some characters and worlds being much more enjoyable than others. By far, the best job at establishing multiple protagonists in the same or different timelines is Spider-Man. It’s so effective at it that you can simply call it the Spider-Verse. Around the Spider-Verse: An Original Graphic Novel Collection is a new collection stories within that world that grabs your attention regardless of where your knowledge is about Spider lore.

Around the Spider-Verse: An Original Graphic Novel Collection is three new stories that contain what makes Spider-Man so awesome and relatable.

Doing whatever a spider can, and very well yo

A Fishboy Named…Sashimi, starts a beautiful, early graphic novel friendship

Dan Santat is an author whom elementary-aged students know. Dan Santat is an illustrator whom elementary-age students know. By the time kids enter elementary school, they’ve read at least two illustrated books from Dan Santat and one of his graphic novels. * His name is as ubiquitous in children’s literature as Michael Connelly or James Patterson are for adult readers of a certain type. A Fishboy Named…Sashimi is an early reader graphic novel from Dan Santat that does what his fans expect and continues in a strange, new, wonderful direction.

A Fishboy Named…Sashimi is by children’s author rockstar Dan Satat and continues his knack for knowing what early readers want in a graphic novel.

Add another one to the must-read fire for elementary ages

Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him is why kids read

There’s a 1 on the spine of Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him. Jake Spooky is a punk rock ghost. He’s got the surly soul of today’s teens and throws up wolves, at least in this first book does that. Jake lives with Brand-O, a cool, flip-flop-wearing human with an old-school television as his head and an upright walking cat who doesn’t speak much, named Quincy. Elementary school graphic novel readers-Are you not entertained? If a graphic novel were a character in a movie, then Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him is Maximus Decimus. Its absurd, playful content gleefully runs circles around other early reader, graphic novels. Amidst all of this running, it still has the bandwidth to ask an obvious question, and yes, we are.

Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him has the gross-out, absurd, LOL goods that can turn reluctant elementary school readers re-think their ways.

Yes, yes we are, part deux

Cosmic Cadets: Accused, great graphic novel fun for ages 9 and up

Reluctant readers, mainly talking to you boys in middle-elementary school through middle-middle school, hear me when I say this. I hear you when, through one manner or another, you say or infer that you don’t want to read. Cosmic Cadets (Book Two): Accused! is a graphic novel (a format that you love), is set on a ship in space (science-fiction!) and has a group of peers (kids your age) who are working together (a lesson that your teachers and parents will love). This is a younger-skewing all-age graphic novel that pays attention to the subject matter most graphic novels that age ignore.

Cosmic Cadets: Accused continues the all-ages, science-fiction graphic novel fun for ages nine and up

A great graphic novel for elementary school, sans fart jokes

The Avengers in The Veracity Trap, a great self-aware, multi-verse story

This is a great comic book that I forgot I had read before, it’s what you might be thinking as you’re digging into The Avengers in The Veracity Trap!. The heroes on the book’s cover have their classic 60’s era appearance. Hulk’s pants are a deep-hued purple. Captain America has his wings on his cowl, evident for everyone to see. Iron Man’s mask is obvious, not melding into his suit and its colors are a very pure yellow and red. But the book’s format is larger than most graphic novels and the story breaks the fourth wall. This is an original graphic novel that old-school comic fans will embrace. It will also give next-generation fans a glimpse at seeing why these comics were so awesome, without worrying about damaging those golden age gems.

The Avengers in The Veracity Trap is a new graphic novel with a multi-verse tale and one you will want to read.

IT’s a throwback spirit in a modern day package, built to love to read

All The Hulk Feels happily lives at the comic and illustrated book nexus

The Incredible Hulk is one of our top three superheroes. It’s the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tale, but with radiation and a couple of Avengers for good measure. All The Hulk Feels is an illustrated book. It’s an illustrated book that, through its paneled presentation, has the feel of a comic book. A comic book story a little sillier than one that you’d find on New Comic Book Day, but is equally, if not more entertaining.

All The Hulk Feels, A Mighty Marvel Comics Picture Book, creates a new sub-genre of reading for ages four and up.

Hulk not smash this book

Iron Man: Something Strange is fun for young readers in elementary school

When I was a teenager I loved the Marvel Team-Up comic books. Spoiler alert: I still love those comic books. It’s the thought of one cool superhero who might be slightly antagonistic, temporarily partnering with another one with complementary powers or an opposing personality. Iron Man: Something Strange is the young reader, graphic novel equivalent of those comic books. It’s the fourth in A Mighty Marvel Team-Up book series that seemingly has the goal of making reading fun and approachable to grades two through five.

Iron Man: Something Strange is the all-age graphic novel that your seven-year-old self desperately wanted. This is great fun for early elementary school ages.

Iron Man and Doctor Strange-yes please

Don’t Cause Trouble is graphic novel effortless fun for elementary boys

Elementary school-aged boys don’t want to not read. I realize that’s a horrible sentence, but stay with me. Reluctant readers (mainly boys) in third through fifth grade know that they need to read, but don’t because they’re shy, distracted by technology, unable to, or simply read slower than other students. In school that second one doesn’t carry any weight because those ages aren’t going to school with a phone or an ironically named smart watch. The reluctant reader in elementary school has many great options for things that they can read on their schedule. These are the books that they need to bring with them for reading time and is something that they should want to read. Don’t Cause Trouble is a graphic novel like this.

Don’t Cause Trouble is a graphic novel that speaks to grades four through seven in a direct, funny and realistic way that those ages can smell.

This speaks to boys aged 8-12
