Holy all age comics with superheroes! This week is packed to the gills with action and humor packed superheroes. Usually it’s a two or three issue parade, but this week you’ve got your pick of the odd teens, mutant turtles and super ability folks to engage young readers. There are also a handful of humor titles that’ll jam on readers of Riverdale, the Disney Princess contingent and magical mountain villages.

In science fiction there are a couple Doctor Who books worth mentioning that have similarities to the Star Wars universe. Doctor Who Magazine #498 is for the fans and features a comic strip, interviews with the creators, merchandise and lots of Who stories. Doctor Who Adventures Magazine #11 has posters, comics and puzzle for the Doctor Who fan. The difference in these two is that the later magazine is for those fans that are slightly younger, say 8 and older. Both publications are OK for any age, but with the vocabulary and price point ($10.99 and $7.99) will mean that readers and parents who are Whovians only will want to dive into these two.

Dragons: Riders of Berk Collection, Figment 2: Legacy of Imagination, Ghostbusters International #3 and a couple others hit shelves for young readers too.

Hildafolk is a charming story for any age about a young girl who is daydreaming under a tree in the mountains and goes on a magical adventure. It’s from Nobrow Press and a creative book that is for those that want a fresh read to buzz on about.

Superheroes this week: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6, Skylanders Superchargers #6 and lots of others. What’s great about the all age comics this week that are superhero oriented is that they’re for boys or girls.

This week in all age comics we’re pumped because our favorite books come out, plus lots of others that will appeal to young readers. For the record, our current favorites are Jim Henson’s Storyteller Dragons, Usagi Yojimbo, Lumberjanes and Simpsons Comics.  Everything but Dragons is great for any age, while the Henson title is good for slightly older kids, say 12 and up.

What will your young reader want to dig into?  If your child is into Adventure Time they’ll like Adventure Time Ice King #3, it’s a story all about Ice King on his own. There is also a new Adventure Time Trade Paperback that collects issues 35-39 of the regular comic book.  The reboot of Archie great stuff with all new artwork, stories that tweens will be able to learn from and laugh to.  Its trade paperback that collects issues 1-6 is out.

For the young Disney reader they can check out Uncle Scrooge #12 or the trade paperback Uncle Scrooge Peril of Pandora’s Box that collects issues 7-9 of the series.

It’s a busy week for action with two new Doctor Who books, Mickey Mouse, My Little Pony, Princeless Raven Pirate Princess and others. There are also two Star Wars Magazines coming out this week that appear similar, but are quite different-which we shall explain in the podcast.

It’s a busy week for humor and science fiction this week in new all age comics. There’s only one superhero book for kids coming out this week and the rest are divided up between those two categories.

Plan ahead now for Free Comic Book Day on May 7, it’s where you can pick up free comics….just as the name states. Many of these titles will be OK for the all age audience and closer to then we’ll highlight all of them.

Adventure Time hits a milestone this week with #50, Aw Yeah Comics from Dark Horse brings out Action Cat & Adventure Bug is what I think will be a fabulous comic about good and evil with art that looks like classic Pink Panther from the 70’s.

Back to the Future #6 starts a brand new story arc, a new Haunted Mansion mini-series from Marvel kicks off this week too. Yes, it’s the same Haunted Mansion as in the ride at Walt Disney World, but, it’s one of the cooler rides at Disney and this comic won’t be graphic, so we’re game. Luna the Vampire #3 ends its mini-series run for this comic that’s great for girls who are looking for a book that’s odd and quite funny.  There are also a couple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (including a team up with Batman!), MLP and Doctor Who books.

The links will take you to TFAW, where you’ll save up to 20% on your comic orders. If you’re looking for the closest comic book store to you just pop in your zip code to the comic book store locator and you’ll be there quicker than a voyage on the  Enterprise, but slower than a TARDIS.
