Happy new comic book day! This week has some different all
age comic books or graphic novels that will make kids 6 and older want to read.
These are the kinds of comics that kids will sneak off into their rooms, lay on
their stomach and get lost in words until you wonder where they are. Just
earlier tonight I found our 9 year-old doing that thing and it brought a smile
to my face to see. In the podcast we’ll chat about Glitch, Teen Titans Go!,
Seafoam and more. For now, here are three great new comic books or graphic
novels that will hit kids as young as 6.
Glitch by Sarah
Graley
Glitch is an original graphic novel by Sarah Graley. It’s
technically published by Scholastic, but is done via Graphix, their graphic
novel imprint. Graphix, similar to :01 First Second, is one of those publishers
that you can almost guarantee that the book will be great and that stereotype
is on target with this graphic novel. Izzy is a young girl who can go in and
out of her video game whenever she wants. The virtual world is great, but what
about things IRL? Glitch is filled with sharp images, great dialogue and action
to please any reader who is 8 and up. Our 9
year old read this graphic novel in 90 minutes and promptly asked when
the next one was coming out.
Marvel Action
Spider-Man
This is the mark of a new storyline in one of the best all
age comic books out there now. This is Spider-Man action with the help of Miles
Morales and Gwen Stacy. It gets everything about the great all age comic books
down perfectly. The action is great and it doesn’t have to amp up the language
or bloody up the violence to make it great. Check out this comic book for ages
7 and up and you won’t be disappointed.
Seafoam #1, The
Hypnoctopus
Seafoam is an all age comic book about a young girl who
travels to a magic beach where there are creatures of all sort. The art in
Seafoam is geared to those younger readers aged 6 and up, but has big, camp
humor to pull in fans of Powerpuff Girls. For the price of $3.99 and 32 full
color pages this is a nice deal that will get the imaginations of early
elementary school kids firing.
