4.5/5

Super cute book with both humor and heart. An absolutely great read for the younger set; Northrop hides his message in clever and modern writing, and Duarte's art is adorable without seeming too young. (Plus: The sound effects are *chef's kiss*.)

This one was a cute one! I am not a huge Justice league fan but seeing it as a graphic novel made it seem interesting to read! Seems great for kids!

A fun little comic/story. My daughter bugged me to read more of it each night until we finished. Good moral and perfect for kids from about 6 to 10... especially those who need to hear that accidents happen sometimes.
A summary:The Justice League members answer fan mail with a backdrop of an insectoid invasion. The kids getting letters back learn that even if you are super, you aren't always perfect.
I reccomend it for anyone with kids around 2nd to 5th grades... they will love it.


Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

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.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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. It reminds me vaguely of Lil’ Gotham, which was also a good comic for this age group.

This book was a cute take on super heroes and how the children get in touch with them. I can see recommending this book to several children and families I work with that love the Justice League.

I received this book from NetGalley and School Library Journal for an honest review.

A cute book that teaches children that even superheroes aren’t perfect. The humorous tone is also great, and there is an overarching story that ties each chapter together and comes to completion at the end.
