What kind of letter would you write to the Justice League?
I had my eyes on this graphic novel since forever and I finally FINALLY had the chance to read it. And boy it was just too much fun to read.
We see each of the Justice League superheroes get letters/mails and we see each of their responses to the mails but also see daily life or them kicking some mayor ass. I loved seeing all the various Justice League superheroes and how they went along with their days and how they acted. Each letter is for a different superheroes and so we get to meet each of them. I think one of my favourites was the Flash as I loved how he reacted to the letter and how sassy he was. My second favourite was definitely Wonder Woman. How sweet of her to just take time to go to birthday parties!
Plus, I loved that we got glimpses in the lives of these heroes. From a birthday party with too much cake to speed tickets for Superman to Cyborg having fun doing all sorts of things on his giant computers.
They came to life in this book, the way they were drawn, the way they talked and moved. It was amazingly done.
But there is also a main story that comes back in each of the chapters. Namely there are insect monsters that are making a mess of their world and it is up to the Justice League to save the world. I loved that this was added as it really bonded/connected the story together and gave it something extra.
The art was just freaking amazing. Really, I loved the style and loved how the characters were drawn. I definitely want to see what else this illustrator/artist has done, I want more.
All in all, definitely a big recommendation. This was just so much fun to read.

After reading a preview of this book on Free Comic Book Day, we decided we needed it for our kids. It's a book that the whole family can enjoy. Now that my husband and I have read it, I think our 5- and 4-year-old are ready to read it, too. As they get older, I'm sure they'll read it over and over by themselves. I thought it would be a collection of standalone stories, but the insectoid problem made for a nice but of continuity.

'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!
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Zoom, DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This was just fun, funny, and cute the whole way through (except for Superman letting someone's bicycle get destroyed by a truck without shedding any tears shed). Both the artist and writer really add great details and thoughtful portrayals of these characters that have had thousands of scripts written about them. We finally get a glimpse at how Batman organizes his utility belt, which I've wondered about for years!
I read the whole thing on my lunch break at the library I work at, and was eager to finish it just so I could check it back in and immediately put it on our Marvel vs. DC feature display. A couple other favorite details that made me laugh out loud include someone fleeing an invasion at the White House yelling, "I'll be filibustered - it's Superman!" and a relatable moment of truth where Aquaman checks to see if there are any witnesses around before sniffing his own armpits.
This has to be one of the better graphic novels targeted at children.

I got a advanced readers copy of this book. It is hilarious! It is centered around the justice league being asked questions from middle school kids. The heroes teach lessons they learned in a humorous way all while fighting a bug invasion.
