Last Wednesday Marvel offered only a few selections for All Ages or new readers, but this week there are all kinds of choices. We give you:
AMAZING SPIDER-GIRL #16
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this series is a great starting point for any readers who are new to comics and enjoy classic, engaging super hero stories. It also features a strong, fully-clothed teenage girl in the leading role, and a supporting cast of teenagers who look like real teenagers.
IRON MAN AND POWER PACK #3
Cute kid heroes doing heroic stuff.
MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #35
It features everything that people love about Spider-Man, except the controversy.
MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS #20
This issue is about Giant Girl and Ant-Man.
MARVEL ADVENTURES TWO-IN-ONE #7
This issue reprints two previously-published All Ages titles from Marvel – Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #29 and Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #33.
MARVEL ILLUSTRATED: THE ILIAD #2
This isn’t for younger kids, but it’s a cool way to see a different kind of story presented in comic format. And the art is gorgeous!
All of the above titles are rated for All Ages, except for Spider-Girl (Rated A) and Iliad (Rated Parental Advisory for violence and some suggestive content.)
