Its time for another edition of "comics My Kids Can Read." We got a lot of positive feedback from reviewing Teen Titans Go Vol 1, so we decided it was time to give it another go.
Yes, there are lots of great books this week that are more geared towards the dads who read this (DCeased #2 was awesome)... however, its about the kids. This book is a classic "gateway" book for those who love Archie Comics are want to give their little ones an intro to Archie and his buddies. So, lets take a look at this one shot... as always, spoilers galore! The Cat Did It I am sure you have seen Art Baltazar and Franco's books on the shelves of your local comic shops and books stores. They tend to do mini series and one shots of some of our favorite IPs. There's even a Little Hellboy. So, look up there stuff. I am sure there is something for you out there. The story follows little Archie dealing with a version of Salem the cat (Sabrina's pet) that caused him to hold a static charge and shock everything and everyone around him. It was a fun and silly schtick that held up pretty well. It destroyed his homework, turned Ms Grundy into a "zombie," and caused him to get covered with socks from the locker room. There were classic Archie things throughout... Jughead had burgers hidden all over Riverdale, Betty had never seen where detention was before, a stop at Pop's, and even a chocolate "Moose" joke. The layout and words were easy to follow... great for a young reader. The book was a tad long (45 pages), but it was broken up in nice little bite size pieces and didn't feel like it was dragging on. Of course, the art is adorable, but not over the top cute that its hard to take in. After giving this book a read, I found it it was a follow up to a Teeny Titans/Little Archie and His Pals book, that I am sure I will pick up. The book also says there will be other Archie Comics one shots of Sabrina and Josie and the Pussycats as well. The book came out in 2017, so eBay and digitally are probably the best ways to get a hold of this book. As I mentioned before, these "Little" books are great comics to get your little kids into comics. While they are for sure geared towards younger readers with its art and dialogue, there is still plenty for Mom and Dad to enjoy. The book is rated All Ages and I agree... its fun for all. It is for sure a comic your kid can read! -CBD
