Cute short stories about super heroes that kids will be able to relate to easily. A nice deeper dive beyond the most common JLA members.

Dear Justice League is lighthearted look at how superheroes have problems too. Each member of the Justice League spends some time answering a question from a child. Lots of great humor and lively illustrations. Kids will enjoy discovering the difference between what the superhero says and what is actually happening in the pictures. The chapters also flow together nicely in an overarching plot that ties everything together. Good choice for young fans who don't like too much peril in their stories.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Super heroes getting emails from young fans and insight into everyday hero life? Sign me up. The Justice League members respond to letters sent in from kids from serious questions to silly questions all while dealing with a bug invasion.

This will be a great one to have on the shelf and push to the hectic parent who want to help feed the superhero frenzy in their kid but are hesitant to buy them the comics already out, This was cute and fun. It’ll be just in time for my nephew’s birthday, a huge comic book fan.

Such a fun graphic novel! Really nice illustrations. Love the idea of kids writing letters/emails to Super Heroes and learning that not even the most super among us is perfect. We will definitely be purchasing this one for our juvenile graphic novel section.

Graphic novel appropriate for all ages. Superheroes such as Superman and Hawkgirl face the difficulties of today; texting while doing something else and the lure of the computer while using humor to give good messages.

I really like the idea behind this series. It is geared more for younger readers and shows them that everyone is not perfect, even superheros. Different superheros are answering questions from young kids and are honest in their answers. Beautiful graphics.

I was excited to get a preview copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I'd heard about it at the ALA conference and thought the idea sounded fun. Basically, kids text questions to their favorite superheroes and actually get answers.

The concept is clever and I really enjoyed the look of the book. The character designs stayed true to the source material but still felt modern and fun. Unfortunately, I don't think the formula for the stories really worked. I found the book to be a little repetitive and dull.

The individual sections don't really work as stories because they are always working towards answering a pretty weak question. This is where I feel it really misses the mark. I assumed when I heard the format that this would be something that was fun and helpful for kids. Why not ask real questions that kids are concerned with: how to fit in, how to deal with bad news, etc. Instead we get things like does Aquaman smell like fish. That might have worked as a funny one thrown in, but unfortunately it isn't funny. Ultimately, I think this struggles to find a tone. I know what reading level it is, but I have no ideas on what audience it's for.

This was a fun graphic novel and I loved the illustrations. I think only part of the book was available but what I was able to read, I enjoyed. The book made superheroes more accessible because you can see they make mistakes too. I look forward to seeing how this book ends!

This preview of Dear Justice League made me immediately write a reminder to myself to purchase it when it comes out. The premise of the book is kids are messaging different DC superheroes with every day questions. In the first part of the excerpt, a kid messages Superman to see if he's ever messed up. We then see Superman cause a chain reaction of unfortunate events while trying to be heroic. The other superheroes present in the preview were Hawkgirl and Aquaman. This was really cute, and I'm glad to see more comics targeting an elementary age group. I look forward to reading the whole of this in August!

From what I read in the ARC, this is going to be a great graphic novel for younger superhero fans. It ended just before Aquaman could answer whatever letter was sent to him, but with recognizable comic heroes, I'm sure many readers will enjoy this cute graphic novel. The art is unique and very much geared towards a young audience which will be appealing to both kids and their parents. Too many times, heroes are placed on pedestals and thought that they can do no wrong, yet time and time again, these thoughts are proven wrong. They do make mistakes just like the regular folk they protect, and while it's not always easy to own up to (especially for the man of steel, I'm sure), it does make them that much more relatable.

I highly recommend <i>Dear Justice League</i> and look forward to reading the graphic novel in its entirety upon its release date.

Very cute. I really enjoyed it! Perfect for younger readers. I wish there had been more to read - I only saw a version that the beginning of the book only.

This is a sweet and cute book. For that reason, probably not what you're looking for unless you are a collector or of the younger set...for whom this book is undoubtedly intended for.
(It really is cute...I especially liked the superman story. Not overly original, but fun.)

This was a very cute comic with a very cute concept. A potentially good way to both entice children to read and to teach them that even supposed ‘perfect’ people are just people, among other various lessons. The ARC ends with Aquaman’s segment, but I’m eager for more as both a lover of sueprheroes and a lover of graphic novels. Good for middle grade kids as some of the language/jargon might be too challenging for early readers.

This book looks to be the perfect introduction to superheros for young readers. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the heroes are more human like than ever. This book will show kids that while their heroes are a little more human than they thought, they in turn can be a little more hero than human!

A Superman who makes mistakes and a Hawkgirl who has pets are great examples for kids. The text moves quickly and the illustrations show even more.

I was only able to access the first portion of this book. I like what I read.

At the top of the cover of Dear Justice League by Michael Northrop three children gather around a computer looking as if they are ready to pounce on the keyboard with their itchy fingers. Below them are 8 superheroes gathered around a cell phone. Gustavo Duarte’s illustrations make it clear that Dear Justice League has nothing to do with snail mail.

In this graphic novel every day kids ask superheroes real question about real life. For example, “Have you ever messed up? I mean, big-time? Because I have. BIG-time.”

Through illustration after illustration and a small bit of text, superheroes answer these questions honestly.

I am eager to read the rest of the letters once the whole book is available.

I knew I needed Dear Justice League, the second I laid eyes on just the title in the back of the DC Zoom sampler. Though this is just a small sample of the final book, I will absolutely be purchashing it for my juvenile graphic novel collection! It's just so much fun! I especially loved Superman getting ticketed for "texting while flying," which I think the kids will also get a kick out of. More like this please, DC!

Thanks to NetGalley and DC Entertainment for allowing a glimpse into Dear Justice League.

Laugh out loud funny and creative. Can't wait to read the rest.
