I just found out that my 6 year old niece and 5 year old nephew both want to get into comics. I didn't get into comics until I was older, so I have no idea what would be appropriate for them. My niece likes the Justice League show (maybe Teen Justice too) and anything anime, and my nephew is more into the Marvel characters, especially Spider-Man. Any recommendations? I also want to make sure that they both see positive representations of women/female superheroes in comics.

Jennnnnna! Thanks for asking. 

Your niece and nephew sound amazing, ngl.

For your niece, she may love the Young Justice book. Your nephew may even enjoy Batman: Brave and the Bold, which is on Netflix and brilliant. The episode where Batman and Batwoman swap bodies is pretty epic.

Any other recs for Jenna? Help a friend out.

  7. summerfallspageone said: adventures of superhero girl! but, er, that’s not actually on comixology. so, the current ms marvel? and maybe the older ultimate comics: spider-man with miles morales stuff (from 2011) for the nephew, and, if he likes it, the current series.

  11. jurynelson said: The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon is on Netflix, and it’s big fun wahoo, but there’s also an excellent overarching comic style plot. Young Justice is amazing (obv.) and Teen Titans remains one of the best.
  12. suddenlycomics said: Tiny Titans, Teen Titans Go (the old and new would be age appropriate.), Supergirl Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, also the online comic JL8
