\u201cAvengers: Age of Ultron<\/a>\u201d comes out this May and you can bet that it\u2019s going to inspire a renewed interest in the comic book superteam from young readers (and about a million Halloween costumes, too). But The Avengers have been around since 1963, so it can be hard for parents and kids who aren\u2019t familiar with comic books to know where to start when they seek out The Avengers at their local bookstores and libraries.<\/p>\n

If your junior heroes want to read more about the exploits of Earth\u2019s mightiest heroes, here are some suggestions that should delight any “Avengers” movie fan.<\/p>\n

no no 9780756690250 The Avengers: The Ultimate Guide to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!<\/i> http:\/\/www.dk.com\/us\/9780756690250-the-avengers-the-ultimate-guide-to-earths-mightiest-heroes\/ by DK Publishing <\/p>\n

This beautiful visual encyclopedia of Avengers lore allows kids to explore the team\u2019s fifty-two year history in detail. They can marvel at the gorgeous art that brought some of The Avengers’ most iconic moments to life and enjoy breakdowns of Avengers’ history, memorable storylines, and their membership rosters, which show off the best (Captain America, Thor) and the worst (Dr. Druid, Gilgamesh) Avengers of all time.<\/p>\n

978-0785156598 http:\/\/assets.readbrightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/The-Infinity-Gauntlet.jpg The Infinity Gauntlet<\/i> http:\/\/marvel.com\/comics\/collection\/4347\/infinity_gauntlet_new_trade_paperback by Jim Starlin, illustrated by George P\u00e9rez and Ron Lim <\/p>\n

Were you wondering about that evil purple guy with the weird chin who popped up in \u201cThe Avengers<\/a>\u201d and \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy<\/a>\u201d? That was Thanos, one of Marvel Comics\u2019 most dangerous villains, and The Infinity Gauntlet<\/em> is considered to be THE definitive Thanos story. When the Mad Titan gets his hands on an object with the power to destroy the entire universe, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more head into space to stop him \u2026 if they can. An epic, truly cosmic story that is rumored to be the basis of (the already announced) \u201cAvengers 3\u201d and \u201c4\u201d.<\/p>\n

9780785121794 Civil War<\/i> http:\/\/marvel.com\/comics\/collection\/6133\/civil_war_trade_paperback by Mark Millar, illustrated by Steve McNiven <\/p>\n

The next \u201cCaptain America\u201d movie will loosely adapt this popular Marvel story, a dramatic tale of hero versus hero. When an inexperienced group of young superheroes accidentally cause the death of hundreds of innocent people, the U.S. Government (supported by Iron Man) calls for all heroes to abandon their secret identities and register themselves as government agents. But Captain America and many others refuse, kicking off a morally complex debate and a tense battle that pits former friends against each other.<\/p>\n

9780785107743 http:\/\/assets.readbrightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Ultron-Unlimited.jpg Avengers: Ultron Unlimited<\/i> http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/154375.Avengers?from_search=true by Kurt Busiek, illustrated by George P\u00e9rez <\/p>\n

Want to know why one measly robot is such a threat to a group as powerful as The Avengers? This is the story that will really make your kid understand how evil Ultron can be. A malevolent force of artificial intelligence with a huge disdain for human life, Ultron decimates an entire Eastern European country just to show The Avengers how serious he is. Widely considered to be one of the best Ultron (and Avengers) stories ever published.<\/p>\n

9780785143826 Avengers: Under Siege<\/i> http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/1184764.Avengers?from_search=true by Roger Stern, illustrated John Buscema <\/p>\n

A fantastic story that shows off what it really means to be an Avenger. The Masters of Evil \u2014 basically, the bad guy equivalent of The Avengers \u2014 decide to go on the offensive and attack Avengers headquarters. It\u2019s a simple story, packed with great action, suspense, and moments where The Avengers find themselves in the unfamiliar role of underdogs as they suffer a strangely personal assault. A truly fun read.<\/p>\n

One Word of Warning<\/strong>: There is an excellent (and very popular) Avengers series called The Ultimates<\/a> by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch that has been extremely influential to the Avengers movie franchise. However, it is decidedly R-Rated in tone and isn\u2019t really appropriate for anyone younger than high-school age.<\/p>\n
