New all age comic books for February 1

January 30, 2017

Are you headed to the comic book store this week? There are lots of new all age comic books this week, some of which will appeal to kids as young as four years old. There are two milestones this week, issue #326 from Mickey Mouse and #50 from My Little Pony are out. Technically it’s issue #17 from Mickey Mouse, but they’re picking up the vintage numbering system from a couple of years ago when it stopped at 326. For My Little Pony it’s a whole new ride, issue #50 is thick with bright pages and presents the end of a story arc.
Two science fiction all age comic books that you’ll want to keep an eye out for are Invader Zim and Spookhouse. Spookhouse is from Eric Powell, who some adults might know from The Goon or Hillbily. If you know his work from those comics you should know that Spookhouse is entire OK for children. One look at the realistic monsters in this comic lets you know that they’re creepy and not the faux monsters that kids might encounter elsewhere. This is all age monster OK for kids 5 and up. For those on the younger set you’ll want to read it with them, but their older siblings will be able to read it by themselves and have a hoot.

Invader Zim #1 is being re-released for only $1! This comic book, based on the Nickelodeon show has fabulous science fiction art, a goofball story with aliens, heroes, space ships and a couple of cats.
Cats rule the internet and were worshipped in Egypt, you’ve seen the meme. Hero Cats is one of those all age comic books that simply gets better with more issues. Issue #15 out this week and really shows how much the action has increased since the series started. This one is all about Rocket and explores his origins. It also has the art by character creator Kyle Puttkammer.
This is also a busy week for Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Doctor Who and many others. Where is my closest comic book store? The music in the podcast is from Jessee Spilane over at Free Music Archive.
Did you listen to the Daddy Mojo podcast? If so, please give it a rating on whatever service brought you to the podcast-it’ll help more people know about this weekly feature as a comic book resource.
