All age comics for March 23, 2016

Subscribe: RSS

For new comic book day this week there are some cool, fresh titles in all age comics for your young reader to discover. There are also a couple classics and a vintage board game gets a Star Wars spin-or roll of the dice in this case.

In science fiction you can check out two new Doctor Who comics. These comics are OK for any age on the content, but the vocabulary is such that younger readers might not be attracted to it. Ages 9 and up should be able to read, understand, have fun with it and be their own Timelord. Godzilla: Oblivion is a new five issue mini-series that your 11 year old and up can get into because of art and monster style combat. For ages 10 and up who love Risk they can get Risk: Star Wars, which recreates the final parts of Return of the Jedi.

Superheroes this week has Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the all age comic that’s based on the Disney XD television series. The trade paperback of Super Angry Birds and a reprint of War of the Gods, a Wonder Woman story arc from the early 90’s are both great for folks who want longer form reading of their favorites.

Humor titles this week have the fifth issue of Jughead, Riverdale’s go-to hungry teen and closet romantic. Simpsons Illustrated #22 compiles three stories from Simpson’s Comics which is one of the best all age comics out there today. Invader Zim #3, Jem & The Holograms #13 and a couple other books also hit shelves this week to tickle the funny bone.

The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on your order. Where is your closest comic book store? Just put your zip code into the comic book store locator and you’ll be there before you know it. Free Comic Book Day is May 7; we’ll have more on that in the coming weeks including a look at the all age comics you can get for free that day.

Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #729 review

Our 4 year old absolutely loves Mickey Mouse. It’s his go-to streaming programming on Roku and that’s with only having a handful of Christmas or Halloween episodes. Thus, Mickey is his comic of choice, even though he can’t read yet. In 2015 IDW Publishing relaunched a variety of Walt Disney titles including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories. The later was kept at its previous numerical sequencing to pay homage to the decades of work that went into the title.

This week in all age comics we’re pumped because our favorite books come out, plus lots of others that will appeal to young readers. For the record, our current favorites are Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons, Usagi Yojimbo, Lumberjanes and Simpsons Comics. Everything but Dragons is great for any age, while the Henson title is good for slightly older kids, say 12 and up.

What will your young reader want to dig into? If your child is into Adventure Time they’ll like Adventure Time Ice King #3, it’s a story all about Ice King on his own. There is also a new Adventure Time Trade Paperback that collects issues 35-39 of the regular comic book. The reboot of Archie great stuff with all new artwork, stories that tweens will be able to learn from and laugh to. Its trade paperback that collects issues 1-6 is out.

For the young Disney reader they can check out Uncle Scrooge #12 or the trade paperback Uncle Scrooge Peril of Pandora’s Box that collects issues 7-9 of the series.

It’s a busy week for action with two new Doctor Who books, Mickey Mouse, My Little Pony, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess and others. There are also two Star Wars Magazines coming out this week that appear similar, but are quite different-which we shall explain in the podcast.

All of the links will take you TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on your order. If you want to find your closest comic book store today just put your zip code into the comic book store locator and you’re all but there.

It’s a busy week for humor and science fiction this week in new all age comics. There’s only one superhero book for kids coming out this week and the rest are divided up between those two categories.

Plan ahead now for Free Comic Book Day on May 7, it’s where you can pick up free comics….just as the name states. Many of these titles will be OK for the all age audience and closer to then we’ll highlight all of them.

Adventure Time hits a milestone this week with #50, Aw Yeah Comics from Dark Horse brings out Action Cat & Adventure Bug is what I think will be a fabulous comic about good and evil with art that looks like classic Pink Panther from the 70’s.

Back to the Future #6 starts a brand new story arc, a new Haunted Mansion mini-series from Marvel kicks off this week too. Yes, it’s the same Haunted Mansion as in the ride at Walt Disney World, but, it’s one of the cooler rides at Disney and this comic won’t be graphic, so we’re game. Luna the Vampire #3 ends its mini-series run for this comic that’s great for girls who are looking for a book that’s odd and quite funny. There are also a couple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (including a team up with Batman!), MLP and Doctor Who books.

The links will take you to TFAW, where you’ll save up to 20% on your comic orders. If you’re looking for the closest comic book store to you just pop in your zip code to the comic book store locator and you’ll be there quicker than a voyage on the Enterprise, but slower than a TARDIS.

There is a certain ‘classic’ vibe about this week’s all age comics. It’s classic, but not stale or musty smelling, it’s the names that you know, but with new stories that can hook new audiences and keep the folks that know the characters from back in the day. This is the week that may parents can take their kids to the comic book store and purchase many of the same names that they knew, as well as, lots of great modern titles that are brand new to them too.

Itty Bitty Hellboy: The Search for the Were-Jaguar #4 is great. This is the all ages version of the great hero Hellboy, the art is goofy, surreal and utterly OK for any aged reader. In humor this week, Donald Duck, Futurama Comics, Peanuts and Mad Magazine are out. Yes, Mad Magazine, at just under $5 this is the same, slightly crude humor that you laughed at and didn’t understand when you were 8 years old and hanging out in your friend’s tree house. The only difference now is that you understand all of the jokes and references. Kids 12 and up will be able to jump right into Mad Magazine and LOL with the best of them.

Back to the Future #5, Kaijumax trade paperback Volume 1, Transformers, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and lots of other comics come out that are great for the all age sci-fi fan also.

In fantasy, older readers will want to check out Mezolith original graphic novel, Vol. 1. It’s 10,000 years ago and this book follows a tribe of hunters in stone age Great Britain. This will be too violent for younger readers, but kids 12 and up will love the art in this just released book on this side of the pond.

New comic book day this week yields a really good crop of fantasy comics including two Jim Henson creations, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess and Usagi Yojimbo. That last title is one of our favorites for people that are looking for a low key, black and white, utterly creative and fun title about a ninja rabbit in feudal Japan.

There are also lots of staple humor titles like Lumberjanes, Simpsons Comics and Adventure Time. Science fiction is loaded down with two Doctor Whos, 11^th and 10^th Doctor thank you very much, our 6 year old’s favorite comic-Skylanders Superchargers, a Star Wars and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trade paperback that’s just for the kids.

With superheroes this week the go-to name for most people is released. Teen Titans Go! #14 comes out and this title is just like the cartoon, in a good way.

Your closest comic book store is as close as your keyboard. Just punch in your zip code to the comic book store locator and you’ll all but be beamed over there. For the internet folks just dig into the links and save up to 20% from TFAW.

For the audio set, the Daddy Mojo podcast highlights a couple key issues in each genre. We’ll describe why they rock, who they’re good for and there’s some groovy music in the background. In this week’s podcast the backing music is provided by Jahzzar over at Free Music Archive.

What a fun week for all age comics. #4 of Zodiac Starforce comes out. This is great for the girls who want to see action, battles, learn about teamwork and good fun. It also sounds like the name of a roller rink circa 1976. There are a couple Turtle titles including a $1 greatest hits that is great for people who want to learn about them or dig a classic story.

Jonesy #1 is about a teen who is trying to figure out life, navigate school, difficult musical choices and of course-love. The twist is that she has the power to make two people fall in love. Scooby Doo Where Are You, Spongebob Comics, Doctor Who 10^th Year 2 #2 comes out this week also.
