Does anyone have some recs of comics that would be good for a 7 year old?
Bone. Definitely.
Also, Beanworld.
Disclaimer: I like indy comics. Neither of these have superheroes. Move along if you want superheroes.

There was a minor fight in my office today over whether Nightwing is anything more than a pale imitation of his mentor. The best comment in it went to the design technology lead, who sagely commented, "Let Nightwing be Nightwing."
Huh.
Your design tech lead is wise.
How do they all feel about Tim? Or, alternately, about the current sitch WRT Robin.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I am totally not up to speed on what the current sitch wrt Robin might be -- whitefont?
The major comics geek in the office is strongly anti-DCU, and I'm afraid to ask. I think the design tech lead was just trying to make peace, but he still spoke wise.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Mish, Tim's run as Robin is ending (hopefully temporarily), as his parents found out about the whole Robin thing and were Not Pleased. So Spoiler is gonna take over (and be the first she-Robin in the main continuity) .

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amych, where's Spoiler from? I'm reading Outsiders and the last Robin, and haven't seen that ... bit.

1602 #8 has been acquired.
In other news, my favorite comics shop is moving on May 1. To within walking distance of my house.
This is either very, very good or very, very bad.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have a long list, and off to the comics store I will go after work tomorrow.
My offline comics geek friend suggesting the Marvel reprints of Spiderman 1-20 or Fantastic Four 1-20, but we're not sure if he'd be put off by the B&W. My nephew was put off my Merlin game when I showed that to him, so I'm not sure how he'll do 1960's comics.
