Duarte's style is unsurprisingly well suited to a younger audience, and he pairs well with Northrop's letters from kids. And there's a low key interconnected story through all of them. Fun read.
I purchased this for my school library and it is checked out often. They really enjoy the short story/graphic novel combination of the book.
This book had such a cute concept! Superheroes answering children’s questions through text, email or letters. I bought a copy for my classroom and my students have enjoyed it!
I read this to my children and they really enjoyed it. The illustrations were well drawn and made the story come alive. Highly recommend.
This is such an adorable graphic novel. I love all the different questions that get asked to the superheroes. They range from the mundane to the more important questions - like if Superman ever messes up - and I really enjoyed that there were a variety of questions being asked.

Aaaaaahhh, omg, this was JUST. SO. CUTE.
This is such a lovely way to give kids a doorway into the DC Universe which is massive, sprawling and older than even the ages of most kids parents. And yet? Comics are such a wide, deep, beautiful breeding ground for so much enjoyment and knowledge. Great middle grade read and I hope it ends up in all school library and several home ones as well.
Dear Justice League is a wonderful little book (from DC’s Zoom imprint for ages 8-12) by writer Michael Northrop and illustrated by Gustavo Duarte. No matter what your mood, it will instantly improve it. Both of these guys certainly know how to “bring the silly”. This is a very fun book to share with a young proto-comic book fan!
This is a great introduction to DC superheroes for kids! It was super cute and I look forward to more in this series.
This is a precious title for children and middle grade readers, even if they only have a casual knowledge of superheroes.
The art in this book for young kids is simple yet appealing, and makes the Justice League members easier for young kids to identify. Also the questions and accompanying art are both funny and in-character. I've recommended this one as a lap-sitting book for a preschooler who loves superheroes.
A great picture book for middle elementary school students looking for a fix of superheroes and a bit of Justice.
Dear Justice League is a cute collection of letters written to the members of the Justice League by their fans. The art is cute and the writing is clever and funny. This is a fun graphic novel for older elementary school and middle school readers.
The illustrations were well done. It had a good message for young readers. Children will enjoy reading this comic book.
This was cute. It was a really cute concept and I'm always for introducing kids to comic books and superheroes. This generation is really only aware of it from the movies, so introducing to a form of the comics is always great. I really enjoyed my time reading this.

This is a cute, fun book that would be perfect for kids who love superheroes. The illustrations are fun and humorous, perfectly in line for the tone of the book. We find out that despite their abilities, superheroes are just like normal people! They text when they shouldn't, get into a little bit of trouble, and worry about smelling like fish sometimes.
Along with learning a little more about these superheros, there's a silly adventure built in as well where the Justice League has to come together to fight off alien bugs from invading Washington DC.
Definitely recommended for any kid who has the superhero bug and wants to learn more about their favorite characters. It's funny and very cute.
I love Justice League and this was a nice summary of what we can expect to see. One of my favorite characters is WonderWoman so it was nice to see her included.
With an Insectoid invasion looming in the background, the Justice Leaguers take the time to answer messages from their young fans...
The Dear Justice League special that came out for Free Comic Day was my favorite freebie this year so I pre-ordered this one immediately. Officially, it's for my newborn when he gets a little older but I had to preview it for him. Right? Isn't that what parents are supposed to do?
Anyway, this is a collection of short tales, each featuring a Justice League member responding to a message from one of his or her fans, culminating in a showdown with Insectoids in Washington DC.
The art is cute without being ridiculously so and the writing is clever and funny. Since it's a kid's comic, the characters aren't as nuanced as they normally are but Michael Northrop captures the essence of the characters.
Dear Justice League was a fun little read I'd recommend to parents of future comic readers. Now I'm chomping at the bit for Dear Super Villains, due out in the fall of 2020.
I really liked this story! It was such a cute glimpse into what the Justice League does in their day to day lives. It humanizes them in a way that I think kids will relate to and it;s a pretty funny read. I highly recommend it for the younger ( or young at heart) super hero fans out there.
Love the format of this book, the joyous colors and how the art style stretches expressions! Engaging for young kids and mimics a lot of the social media outreach we’re seeing now. With media at our fingertips it’s easy for kids to get a sense of how close their heroes are and mimic the letter writing of years prior, seeking out advice and the help of their heroes. Love this take!
'Dear Justice League' by Michael Northrop with art by Gustavo Duarte is a fun collection of short stories about superheroes who get letters from children.
Each chapter features a different member of the Justice League, and there is a larger story going on loosely. Superman gets asked if he ever makes mistakes. Wonder Woman's letter reminds her of her 11th birthday. Cyborg is challenged to online video games.
I really loved this collection of fun stories that show a lighter side to the Justice League members. I loved the caricature style art that kept everything kind of light and silly. I think kids would get a kick out of this, and it might even pull in a reluctant reader or two. Great job!
