New all age comic books for Wednesday, June 17, 2015

If there is a theme this week for the new all age comic books it’s ‘fresh’. I don’t Kool and the Gang fresh, I mean newer titles that haven’t been around as long as the classics. There are still a handful of classic titles out this week, but by and large it’s new stuff that the kids are reading-and it’s great.

We’re excited about all of them, but are really curious to check out Mega Man. At this year’s Free Comic Book Day I looked over their offering and was impressed. This is a good time to jump on this comic because they’re in the middle of a crossover with Sonic. From what I’ve seen of it the series has enough action, while keeping the story and vocabulary OK for all ages.

Also of note this week is Teen Titans! GO, Usagi Yojimbo, Spongebob Comics Annual Swimtacular, Simpsons Comics, Lumberjanes and a couple books of old school Peanuts comic strips. The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, June 10, 2015

The new all age comic books this week offer something for every reader. It’s a huge week if you like titles that appeal to girls, boys, cartoons, classics or new stories that appeal to anyone. If you like Adventure Time you’ve got three options to choose from, a big Archie book, the start of Clarence and the final Mouse Guard Legends of the Guard. The Adventures of Aero-Girl also look really good with big, playful art and a story that has enough action and movement for anyone.

We’re really looking forward to Ghostbusters Get Real. The other week at MomoCon I met Erik Burnham who has handled stories for Galaxy Quest, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Johnny Bravo and many more all age comic books. He told me about a con that he went to recently and a fan told him about how they read comics to their child before bedtime. It was fast becoming this parent’s favorite time in their bedtime ritual because they could see how much fun the child was having.

That’s only one way that parents can use all age comic books. If your child is old enough to read then they’ll enjoy following the story at their own pace and there is an comic book for any child. Most stores will have an all ages section and the staff will certainly help you find the all age comic books because they want to sell them and it supports their future client base.

Here’s the list of all the new comics this week. The links will save you 10% over at TFAW, but if you want them today, just pop out to your local store.

Our 5YO son just asked to read My Little Pony: Friends Forever #17

Your five year old son is requesting a My Little Pony comic book. Don’t panic. It’s OK. He’s five and if he wants to read, then having material that he wants to read are key towards making that happen. Plus, My Little Pony is a fine all ages comic book that has lots to love for boys and girls.

Let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. Reading a My Little Pony comic doesn’t mean that you son is gay, weird, or not going to love the Avengers soon. And even if your son is any of those things you’ll still love them, guide them to adulthood and instill upon them the values of quality, independent comic books.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, June 3, 2015

Oh what a week. This week for new all age comic books sees one that I’ve been waiting months for, the last as we know it, two new all age titles, some classics, one that makes us laugh out loud just by the cover and a new summer cross over worth checking out.

Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians is one that I’ve been waiting for since I heard about it. It’s wordless and features some dinosaur violence, so it might be too young for the really small kids, but our 5 year old will love this. And the art, on my, the previews I’ve seen for this are gorgeous and really put the art in comic book.

Archie is about to end. It’s issue 666 and number one, with entirely new drawings are coming. DC has two new all age comics, Bizarro and Bat Mite both start their six issue run and DC also has Looney Tunes #225 out also. Simpsons Illustrated is great for non-regular readers of Simpsons Comics, Mickey Mouse #1 comes out and Regular Show #24 simply makes us laugh by the cover. Our five year old also wants the new My Little Pony.

New all age comics for Wednesday May 27, 2015

New comic book day is every Wednesday and this week there are some really nice all age comics in the mix this week. These are the comics that are appropriate for young readers and don’t have any mature or adult themes. This week have included Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These comics have lots of action, but are OK for any age reader. Obviously you don’t want your child to mimic any of the ninja moves, so just be aware that all of these comics aren’t kittens and butterflies-and that’s a good thing.

This week we’re really pumped about the new Sonic Universe as it kicks off the Mega Man crossover event this summer. Garfield, Batman, Spider-Man, Adventure Time and Bart Simpson also make an appearance in their new comics this week.

The links will take you to TFAW (Things From Another World) where you’ll save at least 10% on comics. If you want to get them the day that they come out then follow this link to find the comic book shop closest to you.

Usagi Yojimbo #145, detail rich, indie cred and all age comic awesome

This was our first introduction to Usagi Yojimbo for sale and for good reason because the comic was on a three year break. Welcome back and it’s a great time to discover this fabulous comic that is an example of what an all age comic should be. Usagi Jimbo is a 2015 Eisner Award Nominee and one of NPR’s best books in 2014. After checking out this one issue it’s easy to see why it has garnered such acclaim.

New All Age Comic Comic Books for May 20, 2015

This is a great week for all age comic books because it marks the return of two classics, a camp classic, a modern classic and lots of new comics for young readers. Our favorite book of the week is Simpson’s Summer Shindig, closely followed by Peanuts, Usagi Yojimbo and Lumberjanes.

The two classics this week are Donald Duck #1 and Pogo. An argument could be made for Groo: Friends and Foes as being the classic (and if you grew up with Mad Magazine-then yes it is), but that’s a post for another day. Lumberjanes is a great book that will appeal more to young girls than boys and #14 from that great series comes out this week.

There is also the camp classic Saved By The Bell coming to tradepaper back with updated adventures from Bayside’s most timeless.

The links will take you to Things From Another World where you’ll save a big % on any order. If you need to get to your local comic book store now just follow the link and you’ll get there.
