Marvel and Abrams have been doing an annual series called, "Marvel Super Stories," with the latest one, being "Amazing Adventures," and serving as the second volume. Geared towards middle-grade/younger readers, these graphic novels help kiddos develop their reading skills via comic stories within a snazzy graphic novel. I always applaud efforts to get younger folks into comics because if the market is just older folks it will eventually crumble when the fanbase for comics literally dies out. Get youth reading superhero stories geared towards them and then before too long, they'll read the superhero stuff for general and older audiences and could segue into the weirder and more unique indie comics that are always deserving of love too.
I'm also intrigued by this new Abrams/Marvel collab as one of the stories will be about Moon Knight and by Chan Chau--a graphic novelist well-known for comic versions of, "The Babysitters Club." Let's make the youngsters fans of Moon Knight for sure! Besides Moon Knight there will be plenty of other cool characters spotlit so it should be a fun publication. The book is out this Tuesday, November 12th, and should be a good time for readers of any age!
