If you’ve listened to our podcast then you’ve probably heard us talk about all age graphic novels vs. kid’s graphic novels (or graphic novels for kids, if you prefer). Laser Moose is a series of original graphic novels from Doug Savage on Andrews McMeel Publishing that is as great as an all age graphic novel can get. If Marvel Action: Spider-Man from IDW Publishing is one of our go-to examples for a great all age comic book (and it is), then Laser Moose is its graphic novel equivalent. “Name a great all age graphic novel”, some yeehaw might ask me at a party. Without hesitation I’d say this series from Savage, especially this addition, it’s most time-travelled episode yet, Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy: Time Trout.
Sara Varon has created graphic novels packed with friendly, anthropomorphic robots or animals who make shoes, knit scarves and are otherwise the kind of neighbors that you want to have. Hold Hands is a picture book that skews younger than Varon’s other work, while featuring the same, cartoon realistic animals that you wish were your neighbors. This is the kind of feel-good, rhyming, illustrated book that ages three-six will love as a goodnight book.

Tis two weeks before Halloween and all through the comic book shop lay those all age comic books good for ages 5 and up. Well, some of them anyway-and for that really young crowd check out Star Wars A Merry Sithmas Pop-Up book. It’s from Disney and a chance to make your own pop-up book. The 3D elements won’t be board book quality, so while the presentation is great for those young ones, just keep their hands a safe distance away. For those readers who are slightly older Star Wars Adventures: Vader’s Castle or Marvel Action Black Panther, both of these comic books are highly entertaining and great for ages 7 and up.
In the podcast we’ll chat about Charlie Brown, Scooby Doo, a great What Is The Story book about Doctor Who and a Superman book that middle schoolers might be down with.

October is a great time for all age comic books. It’s jammed with some books that you’d expect, a couple new comics that will bring age appropriate scares and the Halloween Mini-Comics. We’ve given out the Halloween Mini-Comics to our child’s classes for years and this year has books from Blastosaurus, DC Superhero Girls, The Loud House and many more. A pack of these only costs $4.99, but get them quickly as some titles will certainly sell out on New Comic Book Day.
In the podcast this week we’re talking about Cartoon Network Gift Set, Wings of Fire The Graphic Novel-The Hidden Kingdom, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Batman, The Unicorn Whisperer and a couple others. For now, here are all of this week’s new all age comic books, some that will be OK for readers in mid-elementary school and a couple left of center titles that will be great for middle school.
