The new all ages comics this are back on track with lots of classic titles that will appeal to a wide range of readers. In the podcast and YouTube version we’ll talk about the DC duo, an anime rooted return of MegaMan and a comic book that will really speak to girls, ages 8 and up that want sci-fi action. For now, let’s look at three all ages comics that ages 6 and up will want to read.

Ducktales

Ducktales is an all new comic book from IDW Publishing with stories from Uncle Scrooge, Donald and more ducks. This is madcap fun that has its roots in the original show, as well as the reboot on Disney XD. The content in Ducktales is fine for ages 6 and up, but they’ll need help reading it as the comic books has lots of vocabulary.

Star Wars Adventures, Forces of Destiny: Ahsoko and Padme

Star Wars Adventures is an ongoing monthly series from IDW Publishing. Star Wars Adventures, Forces of Destiny is a mini-series that highlights some of the girls in the Star Wars universe in their own adventures. The way that Star Wars Adventures blends content and age appropriateness is a great example of one of the all ages comics that appeal to kids, without dumbing down the content. This is loaded with action, humor and stories that kids aged 6 and up will want to read.

Steven Universe

Steven Universe is a smart show, and its comic book from Boom! Studios follows suit. The show, as well as the comic book is intended for children aged 8 and up. Think of a less manic Adventure Time, but keep in place some of the abstract characters, add practical relationships, friendship and adventure. Steven Universe #12 retails for $3.99, fans of the show will enjoy it, as will those looking for a grounded comic book, with just enough spacey edge.

Hello new comic book day and the new all ages comics that come with it. This week in the podcast and YouTube version we’ll talk about one of the most anticipated books of the year, a 90’s classic from Nick that’s on its second issue and go-to comic strip about everyone’s favorite dog. If you’re headed to you local comic book store be sure to check out these three all ages comics that will entertain young readers from ages 5 and up.

Miraculous #19

Miraculous is one of those fun all ages comics that follows the exploits of a television show. In this case Miraculous is cut from the exact pages of the show that it’s known for and beyond. Ladybug and Cat Noir are the alter superhero ego’s for Marinette and Adrien. They’re two French teens and Marinette seriously has a crush on Adrien, but he doesn’t know-despite the fact that they fight super villains together. This is a fun monthly comic from Action Lab Entertainment that readers 6 and up will enjoy, especially if they like the show.

Jim Henson The Storyteller Fairies, #2

Jim Henson The Storyteller Fairies is the kind of comic book that will attract those art kids. They’re the ones who concentrate on the story and art, regardless of what subject matter happens in the comic.  In The Storyteller Fairies we see stories about different fairies all over the world. Issue #2 looks at Menehune the fairies of Hawaiian folklore. I can see some of your eyes glossing over from here…however, just look at the comic and those that want a treat will recognize it when they see it.

Star Wars Adventures, #6

With all the hoopla surrounding The Last Jedi issue #6 from Star Wars Adventures is highly appropriate. Rose Tico, the dedicated mechanic from that film takes center stage in this one-shot story. This is one of the best all ages comics from 2017 with art and story that are appropriate and entertaining for ages 5 and up.

This week in new all ages comics is jammed with variety, some cool graphic novels and a new book that has massive brand awareness that your young readers will really want to read. In the podcast and YouTube post we’ll detail two of the go-to comics that always hit the mark, one of the best new series this past year from BOOM Studios! and a monster magazine that upper middle school and older will enjoy reading. For now, let’s look at three all ages comics that will engage readers as young as 6.

Hammy and Gerbee: Mummies at the Museum

Hammy and Gerbee: Mummies at the Museum is an original graphic novel that fits an elusive niche in young readers. It’s the quest for a longer form book that early elementary school readers can relate to and even read. For grades 1-4 this is the graphic novel that will fill that void, make them laugh, teach them a little bit and get them hooked on reading. Hammy and Gerbil are a hamster and gerbil who are best friends. They have situations like school work and classmates who may (or may not) be evil that ages 6-9 will be able to relate to in their own lives easily.

Scooby Doo Where Are You?

Scooby Doo Where Are You? is a monthly title from DC Comics that is one of the go-to all ages comics that you can pick up with 100% confidence. If you go into any elementary school library this comic book will be there and for good reason. It’s funny, kids know the characters and it’s got enough action and humor to hook in a wide range of readers. In issue #89 fight a pizza monster. Bonus: Scooby Doo Where Are You? is only $2.99

Doctor Who

Each month there are several comic book Doctor Who options to choose from. The Doctor Who comic books are OK for middle schoolers and up. The content in any of these comics are OK for them, but they might be too complex for those that aren’t familiar with the television show or appreciate science-fiction. As with most television to comic book properties, the comic book is appropriate for younger ages than the show. If you’ve tried Doctor Who as a show and didn’t approve of it, then try the comic book from Titan Comics. It’s just as good as the show, but doesn’t have the tension or scares that you might have objected to.

It’s Christmas week and your local comic book store is closed on December 25, but this week on new comic book day, (which is every Wednesday) there are some great all ages comics to fill the bill in case Santa missed the case. On the podcast and YouTube channel we’ll talk about Dog Man and Cat Kid, Geronimo Stilton, Star Wars Adventures and other mandatory things that your elementary school student will absolutely love. In the meantime, here are three all ages comics that will entertain-and be appropriate for ages as young as 5.

Casper and Wendy #1

As a kid I remember reading the old school Casper and Wendy team-up comic books. Wendy is the good witch, all dressed in red and Casper is the friendly ghost; between the two of them they manage to find fun wherever they go. These stories are fun and original, but have the same, classic characters that fans will remember from their original run. Kids aged 9 and up should be able to read Casper and Wendy on their own, while those 5 and up will want it read to them whilst they look at the pictures.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, #26

Galactus is back-and where he goes The Silver Surfer can’t be far behind. However, this time they meet Moon Girl-but is it a social call or something more world devouring? Moon Girl is a great monthly comic book for those in upper elementary and older. It has lots of action, but not the hyper-violent kind. It also has lots of humor-but not the fart or teen kind. It’s simply one of those great, creative, all ages comics for boys or girls aged 10 and up.

Samurai Jack : Quantum Jack (#4 of #5)

Samurai Jack is lost in time and can’t remember anything. In this mini-series from IDW Publishing he’s survived a series of villains, but this time he’s trapped inside the body of a desk worker. Do your kids like Johnny Test? If so then they’ll really enjoy Samurai Jack. The television version of Samurai Jack skews older, just like most other television-to-comic book translations. This mini-series, Samurai Jack: Quantum Jack will be appropriate for middle school and up.

What are the all ages comics this week? In the podcast and YouTube video we’ll go over two outstanding stories happening for the teen audience, plus three great graphic novels that make fabulous gifts. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is great for kids aged 9 and up, Ms. Marvel is a very well written series that’s for kids just a little bit older. Shinobi Ninja Princess Lightning Oni #4 is a great action series for ages 8 and up. There are lots of other individual all ages comics out this week, check out the complete post for them. Which comic book are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!

Pokemon Adventures: Black & White Graphic Novel, volume 6

We’re starting to read Pokemon Adventures with our 6 year old. He’s a reluctant reader who knows some sight words, but likes action and Pokemon. We’ve tried some other books but he hasn’t really taken to them as quickly as we’d hoped. Pokemon Adventures is a manga, so it opens from the back (as opposed to traditional books) and had art that’s more in tune with anime. So far he’s open to reading them, as will your Pokemon reader who wants to go beyond collecting the cards or playing the game.

Your Pal Archie, #5

With all the success that Riverdale is having, let’s not forget about the horse that Archie rode in on. Your Pal Archie is a regular monthly series that has Archie and his friends drawn in the classic style. This is one of the all ages comics staples that will hook in kids 5 and up. Realistically, girls will enjoy this series more than boys, but there’s enough Jughead goofiness to let some of the boys in on the fun too.

Miraculous Adventures #4  

Ladybug and Cat Noir leave Paris for a visit to NYC. This is the third and final issue of this storyline in this entertaining monthly comic book. These are original stories with art that mirrors the style that kids like so much in the Nickelodeon show. It’s got action, some laughs and bad guys. Think of it as a step up from PJ Masks. Whereas that show peaks for children around 7, Miraculous is OK for kids aged 5 and up, but holds the audience until the pre-teen years.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures: Robotanimals is great for ages 6 and up as is The Loud House graphic novel and girls ages 5 and up will dig My Little Pony Friends Forever Omnibus, Volume 3.

Spongebob Comics

In case this is your first time here, each issue of Spongebob Comics is one of the best all ages comics that you can pick up. From a storytelling perspective, as well as artistically, they are great comic for anyone aged 6 and up. We’ve been buying this comic book for years and our 8 year old is still reading the ones from many years ago. If you don’t let your child watch the television show because of the sass or attitude, you can rest easy. The comic book version of Spongebob is all humor and almost no sass, in other words, it won’t encourage bad behavior and is just flat out funny.

Storytime with Batman

If you have a kid aged 3-7 who is craving good-night books this your jam. Storytime with Batman is a box collection of six books that are the perfect length for the end of the day. Each book is loaded with baddies from Gotham City, action, lessons and plenty of sight words too. Green Arrow, The Flash, Nightwing and other superheroes also lend a hand to save the day.

Angry Birds: Monsters and Missletoe

Every three months Angry Birds Comics Quarterly comes out. If you like the fun that the animated Angry Birds series has then you’ll really like this oversized comic book. This is good, silly fun that ages 6 and up will enjoy, want to read (or at least try to) and laugh at the pigs as they get what’s coming to them.
