Comic Book Wednesday: July 7th Picks

I don't understand why there is still this misconception that comics are not real books especially in regards to kids reading them. Comics are just a different form of story telling but that doesn't change the fact that they are indeed real books. I've seen where some parents and teachers don't like the idea of kids reading comics (or graphic novels) but I don't see the problem because these types of books are no different from any other.

I think it's a good thing and it encourages children to read especially stories that interest them. Parents and teachers also shouldn't worry about anything being inappropriate because there are so many comics and graphic novels for young readers. Most comic book stores, book stores and libraries have a pretty good selection of children and middle grade reader comic and graphic novels to choose from.

Well, all that aside, what books are you getting today? Not much on the list this week, just two books: Star Wars and Thor & Loki. I hope my fellow comic book readers will find some good books today. Happy Comic Book Wednesday!
