Womp wommmmmmp. I had hoped this would be as good as Dear Justice League, but it was just a series of corny puns and characters acting uncharacteristically.

With a secret mission looming in the background, the members of the Legion of Doom take the time to answer messages from their young fans...
I bought Dear Justice League for my son before he was born so I pre-ordered this one for him as soon as it was available. Who cares if he can't read it for a few years?
The format mirrors that of Dear Justice League. This is a collection of short tales, each featuring a Legion of Doom member responding to a message from one of his or her fans, culminating in an attempted jailbreak at Blackgate prison.
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.
The characters are an interesting mix. Harley Quinn and Catwoman are included, even though they're mostly super heroes now. Katana is another member and I don't think she's ever been a villain. Apart from those, it's the usual Legion of Doom mainstays like Luthor, Black Manta, Gorilla Grodd, and Sinestro.
Dear Super-Villains was a fun little read I'd recommend to parents of future comic readers.

This was a lot of fun! I enjoyed the story throughout and how they were thwarted by the Justice league because their ego gets the better of these villains.

Pretty good graphic novel. It’s mostly for kids, but if you grew up with DC Comics, then there’s still plenty to enjoy for adults here too. I don’t regret reading this. I enjoyed it.

If you've read Dear Justice League, you'll have a rough idea of what to expect from this one. I went into this fully knowing it would all come together somehow and I was NOT disappointed. I enjoyed the diversity represented in the book plus how the Villians still inspired kids to do good. Overall, a solid title for kids with great comedic timing.

Dear Super Villains Post on Goodreads 4/6
This is the sequel to Dear Justice where kids would write letters to their favorite supers. Now kids are writing the villains to ask about life on the dark side.
The big splash pages in between stories by Gustavo Duarte are so good. I loved the way they introduced the villain. It created instant excitement when it was one of my favorite bad guys. The book is super silly just like with Dear Justice. Wes Abbot changes the lettering style for each villain. It changes based on how they are responding to their letters and I loved it. None were difficult to read and they all fit the story so perfectly. This creative team made a wonderful book. Everything fits together and nothing seems out of place. I cannot wait until April when I can get my hands on the physical copy of this book.
