The Red Zone, An Earthquake Story for ages 8 and up

In 2016 a series of earthquakes hit central Italy. Author Silva Vecchini was not in the affected area, but did assist many of the survivors. Along with artist Sualzo, they’ve created an original graphic novel about the aftermath of a major earthquake, moving on and it impacts children. That’s a tall order. But it pulls it off as The Red Zone was awarded the 2018 Attilio Micheluzzi Awards for Best Comics For Kids.

The Red Zone, An Earthquake Story is an all age graphic novel appropriate for 8 and up about survival, coping, grief and life.

All age comic books and all age graphic novels. The former are just individual comic books that come out in a monthly or as a mini-series. The later are either an original story that’s out for the first time or a collected series of comic books that encapsulate a story arc from comic books.

This week has some amazing examples of all of them. One of our favorite original graphic novels has a new entry this week. Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy is so much fun for elementary aged reader and (way…) up. Time Trout is their latest adventure and is so fun to read. This is the manic sort of story that will hook in anyone who picks up the book. It’ll make reluctant readers want to read and give those kids who already love reading an excuse to re-read it dozens of times. Elementary school readers will also dig Teen Titans Go!, Catwad-It’s Me, Two and many others.

Middle school readers already have Guts on their radar. The content might be too much for elementary ages, but some in upper elementary will be OK with it. The Red Zone is a great example of a graphic novel as a means of education and entertainment. Granted, the true story of an earthquake isn’t entertaining, but kids might have difficulty processing massive scale disasters. This graphic novel opens a window to that experience.

In the podcast we’ll chat about those things plus Magnificent Ms. Marvel, Archie vs. Predator 2 and more.

This week in all age comic books has Laser Moose Catwad, Guts, The Red Zone, Teen Titans Go! and two series for emerging readers.
