Here’s a tip if you’re looking for something new: Image Comics has made the first issue 20 newer series free on comiXology. None of them are children’s comics, but imaginative series like The Manhattan Projects and Thief of Thieves are good teen selections. Most of these will be released as graphic novels in the near future, so those free first issues are a handy way to preview them.

Toon Books has a cool new Tumblr featuring art from their books, historical comics art, and little-known pieces by famous artist. Check it out!
