It’s a decent showing for this last week in February. Archie has a new Sonic title starting, while Archaia Studio’s Mouse Guard Winter 1152 hits its penultimate issue. IDW has a new title that would be great for any elementary school library with Carl the Frog, and Marvel’s got a new Power Pack digest. ANTARCTIC […]

Welcome to the first installment of Good Manga for Kids! Each month I’ll be highlighting three or four new titles for eight-to-twelve-year-old manga fans. Though my reviews will cover the basics—plot, characters, overall quality—I’ll also address issues of special concern to parents and librarians, noting any objectionable content and identifying the most likely audience for […]

Back in December, I read Don Wood’s Into the Volcano and was captivated. I didn’t expect it. To be honest, the cover didn’t appeal to me. But once I got into the story, I couldn’t put it down. But since this was previously reviewed on Good Comics, I thought I would satiate some of my […]

The first time I ever read a Baby-Sitter’s Club book was during my Young Adult Literature class in library school. Sure, I’d known about the series for years, but I was already too old for them when they were first released in 1986, so I never had a reason to pick one up. I’d made […]

I have a confession to make. I never read Treasure Island as a kid. Actually, I haven’t read it as an adult either. Until reading the Marvel illustrated version, I had no desire. But now I feel like I’ve missed out. Treasure Island (Marvel Illustrated Series) By Robert Louis Stevenson Adapted by Roy Thomas Art […]

David Moran posts a report on the Johnny DC panel at NYCC at Comic Book Resources. This is refreshing: [DC Senior Editor Jann] Jones called DC’s all-ages books “palette cleansers” because they aren’t laden down with years and years’ worth of continuity, but instead told standalone stories that are “fun and you can just laugh […]

Last week, I was reading the NBM blog and noticed a post highlighting Rick Geary’s title about the murder of Abraham Lincoln. There’s been a lot of talk about the 16th president turning 200 so in honor of his birthday (which, I know, was last Thursday) and today, President’s day, the Good Comics team decided […]
