AA Picks Index January-March 2009

How times flies!  It’s already April, so it’s time to index the first quarter of all ages comics and manga list picks.  An interesting observation, my picks seem to be a complete inverse to our actual reviews, with more comics in my picks than are reviewed.  But, there are more comics than graphic novels and manga to choose from for an all ages audience.  Hopefully that will be changing in the near future.  Though, it is good to see comic publishers taking the younger audience more seriously.  I think we’re coming to a point where a trip to the comic shop can be for the whole family.
