Daddy Mojo

This week is similar to last year’s week after Thanksgiving and is absolutely packed with all age comic books. There are lots of go-to comic books, as well as, some nice ‘new’ all age comic books that might not be on your radar. In the podcast and on YouTube we’ll chat about some cool ‘life’ comics like Archie and Fence, the classics like Looney Tunes, Scooby, explain why Moongirl is rated T and more. For now, let’s look at three comic books that will entertain readers as young as 5 years old.

Spider-Man

This is our favorite comic book of the week for many reasons. A. It’s Spider-Man and kids want to love Spider-Man, his friends and villains. B. This version is one of the all age comic books that anybody can pick up and read. It’s a special publishing venture between Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing that puts Spider-Man, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy in the same school to take down baddies. This monthly series will be great for those in middle elementary school and up.

 

Pink Panther: Classic Christmas

If you have a kid 6 -years-old or higher they’ll love this comic book series. They might know the character from the relatively recent cartoons, maybe they know the classics or they might even think it’s an advertising icon for insulation. We were quite shocked when our child that age read and loved this comic book. It’s great, simple fun with more art than words and will be comfort food for the early elementary school set. Bonus: this issue is all Christmas, with a couple appearances of The Inspector to boot.

 

Atomic Robo: Greatest Hits

Atomic Robo is a great comic book series from IDW Publishing. Its content is OK for any age, but the reading level is such that middle elementary school age kids-who like science or dinosaurs, will love it. I figure most kids will love either one of those two, so this is a safe bet. This issue celebrates ten years of Atomic Robo and is only $1. Get on the train, this is a fun, smart comic book that’s one of those that swim below the surface.

It’s a great week in all age comic books. Over on Youtube and in the podcast we’ll talk about why Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has the rating it does from Marvel Comics, a three-pack of books that first graders will love and a cross over mini-series that sees Star Trek and Transformers go into battle. For now, let’s look at three great all age comic books that will be appropriate for elementary school and older.

Minions

Why hasn’t a Minions comic book existed before now? That’s a logical question and one that has entries before, but they’ve been as a mini-series. Minions are back on Titan Comics and this is the stuff that will hit the sweet spot of kids in first grade through elementary school and beyond.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is #2 of two in this mini-series. It features a new creative direction that’s overseen by the showrunners of current incarnation on television. This is all age action that boys will enjoy more than girls, but is appropriate for all.

Teen Titans Go TPB, Vol. 5, Falling Stars

We re-watched Teen Titans GO! To The Movies and it’s just as funny as the first time we saw. It’s arguably even funnier because we could listen for the jokes that we know that we missed. This monthly comic book from DC Comics is a homerun. Teen Titans Go TPB, Vol 5 Falling Stars has issues 25-30 of the all age comic book in one collected form. This is great as a gift or for reading yourself.
