A week before Thanksgiving, and the list is on the short side this week.  Boom! Studios has more Disney goodness to share, including one of my picks for the holidays.  Bongo Comics lets the Simpsons run wild through well known stories featuring animals.  It's a twisted dose of animal literature!  DC and Image Comics also gives you your dose of superhero comics for kids, and it's a special celebration for a classic kids comics icon as my second pick.

It's a week for comic properties.  Boom! Studios is exploding (no pun intended) with Disney/Pixar movie spin offs, including a new one that is one of my picks.  Dark Horse, the home of Star Wars comics for years has a new Clone Wars, and DC pulls out some Cartoon Network staples with the Action Pack and Scooby Doo.  But property-based or original, it's a good, healthy list for kids to choose from!
