Planet Gigantic #1 has something for every all ages comic reader. The main story focuses on two teenagers with special powers who crash land on a strange planet. There is a separate story that is almost as interesting Lyana looking for a magical eye. Both stories have female heroes, enough action to satisfy all readers and they both deal with consequences, as well as taking risks.

Children love blocks. Make a block tower, knock it down and laugh hilariously. Citiblocs takes that idea, simplifies it and makes it much more complex for older players too. I use the word players, but it’s not a game; rather it’s a building system that doesn’t have pegs, notches, different sized pieces or is rendered obsolete if you lose a piece. It’s simply blocks cut to the precise measurements of 1:3:5:15.

I’m part of the #StreamTeam, a group of bloggers that works with Netflix. All thoughts are our own. In the fall of 2012 my wife and I realized that we were watching the wrong kind of programming on television. We were channel surfing and settling for things to watch, as opposed to seeking out the good stuff that we should’ve been watching. It was then that we decided to stream all of the programming on our television. Netflix has been a part of that including introducing our child to countless quality children’s programs, most of which are with a British accent.

This is a compensated post. All thoughts are our own and that really is us under the costume. I do love to dress up. However, I enjoy dressing up a bit more when it’s anonymous. To quote numerous bad lyrics, you can act a fool when you’re wearing a mask and it’s OK, acceptable, fun and occasionally inspiring. We dressed up as Optimus Prime and went to a couple parties, both of which weren’t expecting us and here’s what we saw in our quest of discovering that life is more fun in costume from Buy Costumes.

Oddly Normal is a ten-year old girl who is half witch. Her dad is from Earth while her mom is from a magical land called Fignation. The comic has aspects of The Wizard of Oz in addition to more contemporary fantasy elements. Oddly Normal stands out as an all ages comic book because of a couple elements that no other comic currently has.

This is a sponsored post, all thoughts are our own. Spoiler alert: I’m a dad. When you have children dressing up is more fun. I marginally enjoyed dressing up in costume when we didn’t have children. Now that there are small people around who really get into dressing up; it is more fun and I am super eager to get into costume with them this year. Children think you’re hiding behind a 2” tree, put on a superhero costume and you will have them jumping for joy.
