John – It comics available for preorder. I basically just got through the preview catalog and look for new titles coming out. I’ve got a 9 and 11 year old, but I remember trying to find books for the younger ages, and how frustrating it was. Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll keep an eye out and try to get them the next time they show up.

Peter – Sorry to hear about your Previews cancellation. I brought up the book because it did look like a good title for everyone to read. I’ll keep an eye on your site as well as the pages of Previews. Maybe we can get the orders up next time so it won’t happen again.

Hi! I’m the Publisher at Alterna Comics and I received a google alert about this site. Thanks for mentioning Formera in your all ages category! Sadly, Diamond canceled Formera due to low pre-orders BUT retailers, libraries, and schools can still order the title through Partners Book Distributors, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and any other major book distributor.

For anyone that wants to pick up a copy – and it’s a grreat read for kids AND adults (I personally have read it 3 times) – can get a copy at amazon.com, instocktrades.com(soon), or on the Alterna Comics website.

Thanks again for the write-up and keep an eye out for our entire all ages children line coming soon! 50% of all proceeds go to children and animal charities that the creators choose, so it’s great books for kids for a great cause for kids!

Is this for books actually coming out in April or for ones available for preorder in the April Previews? If it's the former, I'd add Kaput & Zosky and Little Vampire from First Second to the list of recommendations. By the way, great site! I'm sure I'll be using it more and more as a resource as I try to find comics for my (almost) three-year-old daughter.
