AA Picks Index April-June 2009

July 16, 2009 by Lori Henderson   Leave a Comment

Another quarter is gone and that means a new index of the comics and manga picks.  Wow!  Look at all that manga!  Publishers have really been embracing the kid demographic, with lots of new titles in all formats.  That’s great for kids and adults.  While there is an upswing in licensed titles, there are just as many original stories for kids to enjoy.  The list is divided up between comics (the floppy series you know and love), graphic novels and manga, and all link back to my original comments about the titles.  Check out the Review Index, April-June 2009 and see if there are full reviews available as well.
