So, Ben Affleck is Batman. Outrage, shock, reason, pity and acceptance, it was the 5 stages of actor casting that geeks and fans go through. However, after thinking about it for a bit, I have hope, a new hope to spark images of another franchise that will announce casting news very soon. Don’t panic over Ben Affleck as Batman here’s why. Continue reading Reasons why (and a couple why not) Ben Affleck as Batman might work
Category: All Age Comic Books
This is a look at the new all age comics that are OK for young readers. Some of these comics are also great for any reader :) We’ll review some of them and provide as thorough a list of all the new titles coming out that Wednesday.
The Avengers 18: Infinity is a massive, entertaining storyline
Marvel Comics just started the Infinity storyline. Essentially, most of the Marvel superheroes are in outer space with literally every living being. An evil alliance called The Builders has been created and is destroying worlds. In The Avengers 18, Earth’s superheroes suit up, team with a couple of The Builder and try to crack some heads. Continue reading The Avengers 18: Infinity is a massive, entertaining storyline
The Deep: Here Be Dragons #2, loses steam, still a good comic for children
The Deep is a three issue mini-series about a family exploring the deep parts of the ocean in a state of the art submarine. It’s sharply drawn, has realistic family members that young readers will easily relate to and the first issue had enough action to keep boys interested. The Deep: Here Be Dragons #2 doesn’t have as much overall action, but does maintain the series momentum to an extent. Continue reading The Deep: Here Be Dragons #2, loses steam, still a good comic for children
The Deep: Here be Dragons is all age comic book fun at its best
The Deep: Here be Dragons is a three issue mini-series comic book about the Nexton family. They’re the typical family of a mother, father, brother and sister, but they’re highly skilled Aquanauts who are exploring things deep under the ocean. The brother is a prankster, the sister pushes her parents, while mom and dad are just trying to keep it all together, in addition to the ship and their mission. Continue reading The Deep: Here be Dragons is all age comic book fun at its best
Fatherhood will resonate with parents, especially dads, but that’s it
If Jingle All the Way took out the seasonal aspect, upped the drama and had only one character it would look like Fatherhood. Fatherhood is a one issue comic by Ryan K. Lindsay that follows a loving dad as he looks for his daughter’s favorite new toy to criminal as he does anything to get one. Continue reading Fatherhood will resonate with parents, especially dads, but that’s it
Too Much Coffee Man Favorites #3 is gleefully manic
Somewhere aligned with the single pane of The Far Side and the four panes of Life in Hell sits Too Much Coffee Man. The nonlinear humor in Too Much Coffee Man is similar to Far Side, yet it has the same recurring characters, much like Life in Hell. Is Too Much Coffee Man funny? You bet, it was one of the first independent comics I purchased in the early 2000’s and still packs buckets of wit with sublime, detailed illustrations. Continue reading Too Much Coffee Man Favorites #3 is gleefully manic
Floating Bunnyhead #1 is a weird, creative comic book 15+ will dig
From its title, Floating Bunnyhead could be thought of as a comic book that’s OK for young readers. Once you dig into Floating Bunnyhead you realize that it has more in common with South Park and to an extent, The Simpsons. Think Aqua Teen Hunger Force and you get an idea of the humor and subject matter of Floating Bunnyhead. This comic book is not appropriate for young readers, but it is fabulous, creative, weird fun that teens and up will enjoy. Continue reading Floating Bunnyhead #1 is a weird, creative comic book 15+ will dig
