AA Picks Index October-December 2009

Serial comics got the bulk of the attention in the last quarter of 2009.  There were quite a few new titles as well as collections of "oldie but goodie" titles.  There’s plenty of fantasy, but also some more adaptations of classics and even a biography.  All ages comics are thriving and 2010 looks to be just as strong.  The picks that make up this list are taken from the weekly comics new releases list.  All titles are rated for ages up to 12, according to publishers ratings, when available.  They are broken up by Comics (floppies), Graphic Novels, and Manga.  All links refer back to original posts.  Check the Review Index, October-December 2009 to see if any reviews of these titles are listed.
