Comics For Kids Who Don't Like to Read
by Inger Fountain
Comics have been around for kids and it is often thought that they are primarily intended for kids. A stroll through a specialised comics store would alleviate anyone of that notion. Not only do kids rarely visit comic stores, the main audience for mainstream comics is boys from 14 and up. Finding comics that aren't violent or sexually explicit these days can be quite a challenge. So here is a list of some of the best new comics available.
In regards to modern incarnations of kids comics you need to look no further than Boon Studios. Boom Studios used to be known as a small independent comic publisher whose main library consisted of zombie, horror and superhero comics. In 2007 they announced their ZOOM! Imprint which would grow over the next three years to include such licences as The Muppets and Disney/Pixar giants like Wall-e, Finding Nemo and Toy Story.
These are, not surprisingly, highly popular and Boom have done an amazing job with the comics. Boom Studios have also bought the rights to produce comics for the Disney characters Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse so their studio accounts for a significant percentage of the total comics produced for kids each month.
Marvel and DC have their own imprints directed at kids. Titles like Tiny Titans and Mini Marvels are versions of the world's greatest superheroes reinterpreted for kids. In these stories instead of super-villains that threaten the world the costumed heroes encounter bullies in the schoolyard and parents that substitute teach in their classroom! Aimed at grades 2 and up these comics are entertaining for new readers and established fans alike.
Popular books and franchises like Geronimo stilton and the Disney Fairies have also recently appeared in comic form, this time from publishing company Papercutz. These hardcover comics are a great read and highly durable so recommended for school and library collections. Both franchises crossover readily into comics, being highly visual stories already.
Now that parents, schools and libraries have decided comics are ok for kids again, publishers have realized comics can sell well so it's heartening to see the increase in comics becoming available aimed solely at young readers (and kids at heart as well). Hopefully the trend will continue into 2011.

**PLEASE READ**
Okay, here it is!! After months since my last installment, I FINALLY finished the fourth chapter in my little miniseries. I've had the storyline in mind since I finished "An Apology to Die For" and even started making this vid but got uninspired and left it as an unfinished project until the other day when I was once again inspired to make it!! PLEASE watch til the very end otherwise you will be missing important stuff...So here's the story:
Lois and Clark have been through a LOT together, no thanks to Lex Luthor who has been trying to keep them apart at all costs due to his obsessive love of Lois. Since killing, tricking and kidnapping both of them didn't get him anywhere, he decides to go after the two things that are most important in their lives - their children. Lex has his ways and is able to pull strings in high places to get the kids out of the Kents' care. With this leverage, Lex approaches Lois and tells her to leave Clark if she ever wants to see her kids again. Lois, knowing Clark will find a way to rescue the kids, refuses. In response to this, Lex has Ryan killed as a warning. Lois, fearing the safety of her one remaining child, gives in to Lex's demand and leaves Clark, who doesn't want her to leave. Lex then tells Lois to marry him which breaks Clark's heart. Clark, extremely angry, decides to forcefully get his daughter back for that is all he has left. While searching for Maddie, Lex stays one step ahead of him and gets Clark out of the picture. Lois realizes the mistake she's made by leaving Clark and vows revenge on Lex...How will Lois cope with the loss of her husband a second time? Will Maddie be saved? Watch and find out!!
The black and white scenes serve as memories of past events. Pay close attention to them as they tell the story of what happens leading up to the opening funeral scene!
I know the first voiceover is hard to understand. Season 7 has bad background music to muffle out in voiceovers. So if you don't understand it, Clark's saying "I don't want this to be over."
If you have any questions about the plot feel free to ask and I'll further explain, I just don't want to give it all away in the description.

**I am trying to come up with a title for my series. So as a mini-contest, I would like you viewers to message me with possible titles. I will pick the one I feel is the best for the series as a whole and will change the Titles of each video, crediting the winner in the descriptions, to incorporate the series title.**
