Good Comics for Kids 2008 Review Index

February 14, 2009 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

Below is a complete index of titles reviewed at Good Comics for Kids in 2008. The list includes titles for tots and teens, titles with tie-ins to TV shows and movies, titles with genuine literary merit, titles that are just plain fun to read, and titles that didn’t live up to our expectations. For additional guidance on what to buy, read, or check out of the library, start with our list of the Best Graphic Novels of 2008. You might find Lori Henderson’s All Ages Comics and Manga List Index helpful as well, as she links to information about every title mentioned in her weekly column. And if there’s a manga lover in your house, I’d also encourage you to consult my list of the Best Kid-Friendly Manga of 2008.
