Best Tablet for Kids 2019: Educational and Kid-Friendly Tablets
When I was young, all I had was a green-and-black-screened Game Boy. Kids today are different: they want a full-fledged tablet that can play games, watch videos, and read comic books. But that’s okay, because there are quite a few solid, affordable tablets designed just for kids.
Unfortunately, it can be hard to wade through all the garbage that's out there. There are a lot of companies selling old, underpowered, or overly locked-down devices that just won’t cut it, so you have to be careful when shopping for your little one.
In most cases, it’s best to stick with the big names: the same brands you’d buy from if you were looking for a regular tablet. In fact, you could just buy them a normal Android tablet and use its built-in parental controls. But for this list, I'm going to look at mostly kid-focused tablets and a few full-featured slates for those that are a little more grown-up. Here are the best tablets for kids.

The Cinematic Revival of Venom, Bane, Deadpool and Other Superhero Characters
Hollywood may be crammed with great superhero movies these days, but studios don't always get our favorite heroes and villains right the first time around.
Take Venom, for example. This iconic Spider-Man foe didn't fare so well in 2007's Spider-Man 3. We can only hope, despite early mixed-to-negative reviews, that the new Venom movie does right by Eddie Brock.
It would hardly be the first time where a superhero character gets a second chance on the big screen.
From Bane to Deadpool to Captain America, here are some fan-favorites who needed a mulligan, whether or not they actually succeeded the second time around.
