My significant other would have no say in the matter. Yeah, I would totally be that kid (or adult!) And it only got better when you reached the “chaos” of Superman’s story. It’s a good summary, but the real value is in about four of the shorts that I think have strong and unique messages for children. Michael: It kinda frustrates me that the young adult books actually have really great cartooning in their action scenes that I think sometimes more “mature” books lack. Yeah, Cyborg’s response to the kid felt a bit off to me too. There’s just something neat and personal about taking the time to write something on paper that makes the way Batman does it stand out to me here. Agreed. Does Aquaman smell like fish? Thankfully, the action hits quickly and ends quicker. Of course it’s very comic booky, but what kid wouldn’t want Batman to be this totally awesome dude that you can hit up, and then have him give you advice, especially on a topic like being the new kid in town? We’re probably overthinking it here a little, but I feel like that’s what we’re here to do to a degree. Josh: I’m not going to lie, other than the relatability of procrastinating, and the cute hamster/ fun art details, I’m with Casper. Casper brought up before about how the book is mostly gags over a more complex storyline and whether or not that really works. Agreed! A... McFarlane Toys have released new photos of the upcoming DC Multiverse assortment for the "Last Knight on Earth" storyline. I completely agree with you on the visual storytelling. The letter here isn’t connected at all with the plot which threw me off at fist, but it’s probably a good idea to not follow such a strict formula with each segment. Does Superman ever make mistakes? I do love the subtle bit where Baz pulls up his pants to hide his underwear when Kendra shows up – didn’t catch that the first time through. Hi Mum/Dad! DC Kids has announced the follow up to to Dear Justice League is coming our way in April 2021, and this time will focus on the villains of the DCU. Josh: That actually is a good way of putting it! That’s something that struck me while reading this book. Should we move on to Batman? I’m not necessarily talking about complex storytelling, but just adventure, and I feel like these read more like gags than adventures. The bug invasion plot does feel like an obligation for the book to have a semblance of a storyline, but I understand the hesitation to have a book that only contains shorts. Fun fact, I didn’t read a lot of books like this as a kid, but the moment I started working at a public library I tore through children’s books and this is exactly the type of book I would have tried to get every kid or parent who came in looking for a book to read. Justice League here. Oh, definitely. Matina: I did enjoy the bug portion of it, I too really enjoyed seeing the way the bugs were drawn to multiply. That being said, I wanted to find books for younger kids that are not only enjoyable for the “little hero,” but also the parent as well. But this… This work is gold. The idea of unity, teamwork, and bringing people together is really what the team is about, and I think it’s a great message to get out to kids. The lettering jumped out at me from the beginning, and I’m not usually one to notice the lettering. At the end of the day, it’s all subjective. While it is indeed a book geared towards kids, it’s also something that’s packed with details to make anyone enjoy reading it. This one might be just a bit too slight to really register, but I’m glad not every kid in the book is an adorable angel and we get some “bad” kids to not make everything too saccharine. I feel like no matter who you are, coming away from this book you’ll feel inspired, and more comfortable with who you are and what you can do in the world. That being said, I wanted to find books for younger kids that are not only enjoyable for the “little hero,” but also the parent as well. I feel like it’s usually Superman or Batman, but she’s probably the best balance of both, and definitely a better option. I completely agree with you, Matina! Josh: I think you captured all of my thoughts. She’s always been about compassion and unity, and I think she could be a great leader if the right writer’s on the job. I’m sure that kids will love seeing all these awesome characters in their costumes, and I’m sure they’ll laugh at many of the visual jokes, from the wacky expressions on characters’ faces, to Diana throwing up, to the entire Superman segment where Murphy’s Law kicks in and everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, until Superman manages to fix it. Am I going to remember the bug invasion or am I going to remember Diana throwing up after Antiope smacks her stomach with a staff?

First up, Dear Justice League … Dear Justice League is the best kids’ comic I’ve read all year The adorable graphic novel is the perfect definition of all-ages By Susana Polo @NerdGerhl Aug 9, 2019, 9:29am EDT I could see them working really well in a kids cartoon as kind of the comic relief duo that always gets into trouble. chvrches. I just didn’t find any humor here to write it off another way. But most of all, Dear Justice League makes any reader feel like they could be a hero, no matter how many times they mess up or how many mistakes they make. Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings for a better experience. Casper: I think the hamster is cute, but other than that I wasn’t feeling this one. But of course Cyborg’s message about teamwork is really important too. Same. These characters are definitely flawed throughout Dear Justice League. I kind of get what they were going for here, but it didn’t quite land. I don’t know if I fully appreciated this scene in the moment, but I’m definitely enjoying it more now that I’m looking back on it. I think it’s in part because there’s this cool Superfriends vibe here, where it really feels like they are a team and a family, as opposed to a bunch of depressed people in crazy outfits. Thanks for joining us for our coverage of Dear Justice League! The action sequence is a lot of fun, though! I liked that the pacing slowed down and Duarte got the opportunity to sprinkle in some simpler and cute visuals like Kendra’s mask hung up on a coat rack and her mace in a bin with an umbrella. So, let’s start with Superman! I don’t mind him being shown as not perfect, but in a book that feels like it’s trying to do something positive with each story, this one lost its way for me. Josh: Uh, yeah! Speaking of fighting, there are plenty of action-packed heroics worthy of any comic book inside this graphic novel. Each member of the Justice League gets their moment to shine and an email to answer. Matina: Just about every page is filled with fun onomatopoeias and creative effects and sounds that make everything even more delightful. Matina: Agreed. Casper: Batman is definitely the coolest hero in the entire book, and his segment is probably the best. Josh: What? Never. In any case, it’s fun that this is a bit of change of pace, in the sense that it moves away from the standard format that we’ve seen so far: a kid sending a letter to a hero, asking a certain question, out of genuine curiosity. I really wish they’d played more into who Kendra is as a character – like they did with Superman – and touched on the many lives she’s lived, or how she knows so much because of those lives. I especially laughed at the, “I’m a creature of the night!” bit! I feel like this is the turning point for the book, where the actual story starts off, even though the majority of this segment is dedicated to Kid Diana. She’s always been about compassion and unity, and I think she could be a great leader if the right writer’s on the job. Casper: From a storytelling standpoint it would’ve made a lot more sense to have this meeting at the start of the book, but then again, as you said, Michael, that Superman strip makes for a fantastic start as well. But this… This work is gold. Why don’t we move on to Wonder Woman? This segment made me think that having a book of shorter, punchline based stories can actually work since all the bug talk here wasn’t as much fun as everything else.
