HeroBear and the Kid: Saving Time #1, timeless appeal for all ages

HeroBear is a comic that I’ve wanted to try for a while. The concept of a young boy and his toy bear coming to life when he taps his nose is super cute. It’s the classic idea of a toy that truly understands a growing kid, when the world seems not to know what to do with him. The art in HeroBear is warm inviting and reminds you of an old friend. HeroBear and the Kid: Saving Time is a five issue miniseries about their adventures that’s good for young readers.

Star Wars Day is May 4th-here’s how we’re going to celebrate

Every year on May 4this Star Wars Day. Like some people need an excuse to watch any of the Star Wars movies or look at the comics. Our kids are still a bit too young to watch Episode 4: A New Hope, or just Star Wars to the OG’s. Next year we’ll celebrate by watching that, but in the meantime I’ll celebrate by showing our 4 and 2 year olds some of the original Star Wars stuff that I had when I was a kid.

Guardians of the Galaxy #14-still my fave comic on the market

I purchased Guardians of the Galaxy #1 on a whim last year on Free Comic Book Day. If I’m getting all of these free comics, I might as well try a couple new comics just to see how they are I thought. That was a great move because Guardians of the Galaxy has been the best comic that I’ve been reading this past year. Issue #14 just came out, it’s a great issue and an excellent jumping off point for folks wondering what all the fuss is about.

Skyward #6-action oriented all ages comic that you’ll like too

Skyward #6 manages to straddle the line between fable, fairy tale and action so perfectly you don’t know exactly how to define it. I hesitated calling it all ages comic because it’s so entertaining and has so much action. But after re-reading it I couldn’t find anything that would be scary to a 5 year old or objectionable for their parents. It’s a cool all ages comic book that any age can read, enjoy and want to share with their children or dig into it solo.

Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: Africa Edition review

Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: Africa Edition is 15 African fables drawn in a way that modern comic audiences can enjoy. Fables just sound old, musty and not at all interesting to some people. Parable doesn’t sound much more interesting either. However, Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales manages to make all of these fairy tales and fables fun, teach some lessons and does it all with varied artwork.

Ninja, Ninja, Never Stop! is a manic fun book for kids

Ninja, Ninja, Never Stop! immediately grabs your attention because of its bright, vivid colors, large letters and the fact that it has multiple ninjas on the cover. As the dad to 2 young boys; and a fan of martial arts movies this book would seem to speak directly to me. One read through the book however and you- and your young audience will be hooked.

Stocking stuffer ideas: Beginning Pearls by Stephan Pastis

Pearls Before Swine is one of only two comics in the daily paper that can make me laugh out loud. It reminds me of the absurdity of The Far Side, has artwork similar to Dilbert and friend ships that are a more contemporary version of Peanuts. You’re probably heard of Pearls Before Swine, but if not, Beginning Pearls is an excellent jumping off point for this comic strip.
