There are comics that contain superheroes, villains, love stories, action and adventure, media tie-ins, horror and real life plus a host more! 

Reading is the greatest gift to be given at any occasion… Birthdays, Christmas or anytime! So why comics… well comics offer:

  •  A different medium providing an entry point for struggling readers, challenge gifted readers, and help more students learn.
  • Improve your child’s vocabulary as they are exposed to several complex or difficult words.

  • Comic books provide multiple examples of how characters are structured, based on a back story, motivations, reaction to setting and place, and movement through plots as minor and major characters, and the introduction of what it means to be an antagonist and protagonist, and why this has developed. They offer a blueprint for the identification and replication of advanced writing techniques.

  • Comic books, although fashioned in the "literary world" of its creators, have a unique quality that anything can happen. Unpredictability and magic still exist. Due to the twin realities of monthly publication and the time invested in reading, the imagination of the reader can expand in incalculable directions.

  • Parents might be surprised to learn that the Ontario EQAO and the CAT4 (Canadian Achievement Test) both feature comic strips and sequential narratives in their assessment of reading and writing. All the beliefs of Language Arts: plot, character, conflict, mood, setting, and even vocabulary can be bolstered by the reading and creation of comic books.

White Dragon Comics is open 7 days a week and we are always ready to help direct shoppers in the right direction, making sure they find the perfect story for their recipient.

Batman Who Laughs... Scott Snyder's Newest Comic Book Hit


Batman Who Laughs #1 hit stores Wednesday December 12 with one of the coolest covers I have seen lately. In fact, it was the cover that drew my attention to the all-new story from Scott Snyder. In this Batman tale we find that the madmen from the Dark Multiverse Batman Who Laughs lives.



How does a Bat defend himself against a madman with his identical bat-abilities? He becomes a madman himself! In Snyder’s newest Batman adventure, it’s the Joker who gives us this terrifying Batman that’s needed to defeat the evil that has penetrated Earth. In typical fashion Scott Snyder takes us down the darkest, twisting hallways of Batman’s psyche. Batman, for years, has stared into the abyss and now the abyss is starring back… and laughing.

 


The story is gripping and visceral, the art equally so. No one, not hero nor reader will come out the other side of this unscathed.


White Dragon Comics currently has this title in stock, although it continues sell quickly. If you want a copy of the newest Batman tale, hurry into White Dragon Comics and claim yours! Online subscribers can find many Batman comics for sale right here at White Dragon Comics.
