I've never seen them out and about, so I should probably just grab them off Amazon.<br /><br />The Marvel books are a lot of fun, and I even went ahead and ordered 5-MINUTE MARVEL STORIES, 5-MINUTE AVENGERS STORIES, and 5-MINUTE SPIDER-MAN STORIES, too. They look to be about the same reading level based on Amazon previews and, while I think they duplicate some ground from these books, they also have stories that these don't, like Captain America waking from suspended animation and Spider-Man trying to join the Fantastic Four.<br /><br />As you saw on Twitter, I'm sorting all these stories into a better continuity order for bedtime reading. I'm going to add all the 5-MINUTE STORIES into that list as well, once they arrive. I'm also looking at a couple of paperback readers which appear to be done in the same style and which cover the Kree/Skrull war and "Days of Future Past" to add to our "Marvel Storybook Universe".<br /><br />I'm with you; I'm sure my son will eventually outgrow my interests, but I hope on some level he remains into the characters. Even if reading comics isn't his thing, I'd like to see him follow Marvel in cartoons and movies -- but I'll leave that up to him. After I introduce him to all of it, it'll be his choice whether to stay interested! For the first few years, though, I hope he will be, if for no other reason than to emulate Dad.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-87990266756502747062018-02-21T11:33:06.089-08:002018-02-21T11:33:06.089-08:00I'm gonna have to check out those Marvel story...I'm gonna have to check out those Marvel storybooks - they sound great.<br /><br />My son has a set of Golden Book adaptations of the Star Wars movies, and those are particularly fun (for me) to read just in terms of how the story gets adapted, or the more complicated/adult stuff (like Anakin, you know, burning alive) gets handled. <br /><br />Like, I don't want to force my interests on my kid, but I'm going to make sure he's at least aware of them. I like to say "I want to take him to the comic shop with me until he's old enough to say he doesn't want to do Dad's weird stuff anymore." :) Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.com
