Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
My 6 1/2 year old cousin is reading like crazy lately, and I'd like to encourage that as best I can, so I was wondering what some good kid friendly titles are? I've heard Marvel Adventures were aimed at younger readers but outside of that I'm lost so any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :lol:
PS: cousin's a girl, but she likes superhero stuff so pretty much anything's fair game.
Marvel Adventures, the Johnny DC stuff (JLU, Batman Strikes, Teen Titans Go), Clockwork Girl, Owly, any of the Power Pack digests, Calvin and Hobbes, and Peanuts.
I'm going to second Mask on Owly, but be prepared that there's no much reading in there - it's almost entirely told through facial expressions and speech bubbles with symbols/pictures in them. Which is part of the appeal.

Adding my yea vote to Power Pack, Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil, Tiny Titans, Marvel Adventures and X-Men: First Class. Also, check out Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius.

Listen to this woman. She knows what she's talking about.

Oh yeah, I'll add a yea vote to Spider-Man <3's Mary Jane too.
Also, I think it's fantastic that you're encouraging her to read like this. I had an older cousin who used to give me books as gifts. He's pretty much the reason I went on to study English Lit.
Um, I mean that to be inspirational, not "Oh Gods she'll study something useless!" I swear I'm a productive member of society. I just also happened to enjoy the heck out of college.
The first Mini-Marvels Digest didn't parody the events in the mainstream comics, I believe. It was more about Spider-Man having a paper route and stuff.
So I'm thinking Bone would be good:lol: Ashamed to say I haven't gotten around to reading it myself, maybe I'll pick it up for her and "make sure it's appropriate" before I give it up haha. I'll also look for some of those JL books, she's seen a few episodes of Justice League and liked 'em a lot (who doesn't)
I actualy know next to nothing about Spiderman Loves Mary Jane, is it like them in high school?

I love Bone, but I wouldn't let a young child read it. It's nice for a while, but it gets quite violent and sad. some characters from the beginning die, and the hooded one without the hood... quite hideous.

Also, Marvel Adventures.

You might also want to pick up some of the Marvel Essentials books - worst thing that happens is she can use them as coloring books.

seriously, this
Bone is so good and totally kid-friendly
If Power Rangers gets a Y7 for Fantasy Violence, then certainly Bone gets slightly more for having a guy who had his face melted by dragons.
Course, you could just put smiley face stickers over those panels.
Really, it wasn't that bad, but some kids are sensitive to even the tamest depiction of burn scars.

Marvel Adventures got that covered. The kid friendly Mini Marvels stuff is normally on the last page.
