Crossover Graphic Novels good for young and old -August edition

by gulickb

There's nothing quite like sitting down with a good graphic novel. The mix of art and word can create a unique experience and there is nothing better than being able to share that experience with others. There are some graphic novels that are so great that it doesn't matter how old you are you can enjoy them. Here's this months crossover (good for all ages) graphic novels.
Mouse Guard is a story of the Mouse Guard of a world filled with sentient creatures, creatures who think like we do! It follows the exciting adventures of these protectors. If you loved the Redwall series you will love this series and if you love the idea of mice fighting weasels and otters and all manner of other creatures this is the series for you.

Darkwing Duck I loved Ducktales growing up and when they made Darkwing Duck into a comic they really brought the two series closer together. If you love daring adventures and mysteries with a masked crusader then Darkwing Duck is for you. If you loved Ducktales then Darkwing Duck is for you. If you just like ducks, then I'm sure this series has something to offer you

Amulet is huge, and gaining popularity (it's even currently optioned for being made into a film!!) but this graphic novel series is not just for children. The story has some serious depth to it and the art is beautiful. There is more than enough in this series to keep anyone interested for every volume that is out (and all the ones that will be released!)

Stay tuned for more awesome graphic novels and books in the AADL blog!

I have read some Mouse Guard, but not the other two, so I'll add them to my list. And yes, I always liked Darkwing Duck in the cartoon! Thanks for the tips.

It's in the Teens section (not for readers as young as Youth level), but Nimona by Noelle Stevenson is utterly wonderful. I suggest that for a spotlight when there's a chance.

My youngest son (now 12) adores Amulet. He would read anything drawn by Kazu Kibuishi, and waited quite impatiently for book 6. I had a hard time getting into it. Something turned me off the first time I tried to read it (perhaps with one of his older brothers?) but eventually made it through.

I've looked into it a bit more and am definitely going to try the Amulet series. Sounds like it has some science fiction elements mixed in with fantasy, and that's always really cool when it works well.
