New all age comic books for Wednesday January 7, 2014

It’s the first Wednesday of 2015 and the new comics are back in regular supply.  There are a couple all age comic books that we’re really looking forward too including Face Value, Scooby Doo Team Up and Shinobi Ninja Princess.   Face Value is a comic whose lead hero is Autistic.  The first issue sold out and I’ll look for the third one to support the publisher and review the comic.  It was written by Dave Kot, a psychologist and comic book guy to raise awareness and show an autistic youth be a hero like anyone can be. Scooby Doo Team Up because I want to see if it’s better than the other Scooby Doo title and Shinobi Ninja Princess because I’ve heard that it’s gotten much better than the first issue.

Valentine For Charlie Brown

Actually, the Charlie Brown book is a real book, hardcover that is.  However, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner this squeezes in under a technicality.

Penguins of Madagascar 2 will satisfy fans of the series

Madagascar is a cash cow.  In addition to producing a spin off for King Julian on Netflix the Penguins have their own movie and a 4 issue comic book mini-series.  The Penguins of Madagascar are from Titan comics and issue 2 picks up with Private, Kowalski, Skipper and Rico in Rome.  They’re investigating the competition for Afro Circus, a one man show called The Magical Magnifico.

Fraggle Rock, Journey to the Everspring 3 continues classic Fraggle fun

What’s a Fraggle?  What’s a Muppet?  Isn’t a Muppet merely a Fraggle that lives underground and sings more often?  No, not really.  People have been clamoring for a Blu-ray release of the television series for a while to no avail.  To them I would submit that there are still lots of Fraggle charm and proof of that is in the four issue mini-series Journey to the Everspring.

Super Dinosaur 23 rips apart expectations for an all age comic

One of the best reviewed all age comic books in recent memory is Super Dinosaur.  It’s the story of Derek Dynamo, a ten-year old boy and his best friend a nine-foot tall Tyrannosaurus Rex. They play video games, fight other monsters, various baddies and have fun.   It’s a great comic for any age, but they dropped off the map with issue 22 in February, 2014.  Super Dinosaur 23 is here, it’s great, but don’t get too comfortable with the characters.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, December 31, 2014

It’s the final new comic book day of the year and it looks like publishers really took that to heart.  There are less than a dozen new comics hitting stores and only one of them is an all age comic book.   It’s a great week to play catch up, look for some releases from BOOM, Bongo, Archaia, or Oni that you might have missed.  Oh, it’s not that I don’t love some Marvel or DC, but when it comes to all age comic books they just don’t have the number or quality releases as the independent publishers.   Soap box aside, on with the comic (s)!

Star Trek Planet of the Apes #1

OK, this is not really an all age comic book, but because the week is thin on new releases it merits a mention.  I love Star Trek.  I love Planet of the Apes.  I’ve wanted to get a look at this comic ever since I heard about it.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, December 24, 2014

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the (comic book) store, a couple of creatures were stirring to tempt young readers galore.  Because it’s a semi-holiday comic book stores will have abbreviated hours.  All age comic books make great stocking stuffers.  Their price point will be $2.99 or $3.99 and can entertain a child for hours.  Another bonus about lots of the all age comic books out today is that many of them are equally appealing to boys, as well as, girls.

We’re really looking forward to Super Dinosaur, Adventure Time and Batman 66’.  A curious look will be given to Capture Creatures to see if it has more creatures or action than the first issue too.   Oh, we prematurely put McBain, the one-shot, out last week.  It comes out today, now say it in your best McBain accent.

Peanuts #24 is how an old school cartoon should age

There is this new all age comic book called “Peanuts”.  It’s the story of a group of kids, a friendly dog who thinks that he’s a fighter pilot and a curious yellow bird named after a 60’s rock concert.  Of course you’ve heard of Peanuts before, it’s a 60 year old comic strip that’s been made into holiday specials, numerous book and is classic.  What is surprising is how well-and effective the new stories in the Peanuts comic book are for new readers or old school fans.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, December 17, 2014

It’s new comic book day and here’s a look at the new all age comic books being released today.   Our top 4 this week are Jim Henson’s The Storyteller Witches #4, McBain, Peanuts #44 and Terrible Lizard #2.

We classify all age comic books as something anyone could read and not find violent, scary or otherwise inappropriate. Some of these titles might be rude and you wouldn’t want your kids reading it yet, like Mad Magazine, but that’s only because some of the humor there might be smarmy or rude.

About the links in the comic titles.  They’ll take you to Things From Another World and will save you about 20% on each title.  If you want to get them today then find your closest comic book store, take the kids and get their imaginations, reading and vocabulary up to the stars and beyond.
