Jeffrey Brown’s Hulk Teach is a lot of fun for kids and adults

Posted on by

Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk, is a genius scientist and super hero whose rage-outs have led him to damage way too much public property. After his latest meltdown, Tony Stark arranges a PR move to smooth things over. Hulk will perform community service — by teaching. Can Banner make it through the school year without destroying everything? And can middle school kids really learn anything when the HULK is their teacher?

This all-new middle grade graphic novel told with two-color artwork offers a laugh-out-loud take on middle school.

I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011 is a great graphic novel to teach kids about the tragedy

Posted on by

It’s hard enough that Ben is visiting Japan only four months after his dad’s death, especially since it’s where his dad grew up. But one morning, Ben’s grief turns to fear when a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village where he’s staying. His family narrowly escapes a collapsing house, only to find that the ocean is rising up. Ben and his family are swept away — and pulled apart — by a devastating tsunami.

Now Ben is alone, stranded in an unfamiliar country thousands of miles from home. Can he find enough courage and strength to survive one of the most epic disasters of all time?

Sunny Figures it Out is a nice graphic novel for younger readers about find your own way

Posted on by

There’s no question that Sunny has fun whenever she hangs out with Tony. They go to the movies together, talk a lot at school, and support each other when they need it.

But are they dating?

Sunny isn’t sure… but her friend, Deb, is. She thinks Sunny and Tony should be doing the couples-skate at the local roller rink. And Tony should be giving Sunny his jacket to wear. And carrying her books to class.

For Sunny, this doesn’t feel great. It just feels… weird. Maybe she needs to stop taking everyone else’s advice in order to figure things out for herself!

Posted on by

Get ready to swing into action with Shadow Warrior: A Spider-Man Manga by Shogo Aoki. It’s out September 16, 2025 from Graphix and for readers and is intended for middle grade readers, ages 8 to 12. The manga features new takes on iconic characters, including a reimagined Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy, who travel to feudal Japan to take on Kingpin.

When a young man named Hyo accidentally bonds with the symbiote and seemingly transforms into the infamous Venom, things go from bad to worse! Shadow Warrior is perfect for manga and super-hero fans alike!

Shogo Aoki is a manga artist and illustrator who launched his career with his one-shot story “Mina Harker” that was published on “Good! Afternoon” magazine from Kodansha in October 2015.
