Cute, just really not up my alley. The artstyle wasn't really one I personally enjoy (although it looked clean), and the storylines felt a bit inconclusive. Nonetheless, it was a read.

Ha! Totally amusing short stories about how superheroes have problems just like normal people.

Cute series of short stories that add up to one long story of an inset invasion that the justic league is trying to overcome. In between fighting the insets, they answer fan mail from kids, who want to know such things as if they have ever screwed up, if Aquaman smells like fish, and if they have ever been the new kid at school.

the superhero’s have changed slightly since I used to read them years ago, but this rendition is fun, and cute, and funny to read.

I think kids will enjoy the stories, as I did.

This was cute if forgettable, with all of the superheroes reading their fan mail and responding. But it is hard to find Justice League comics that are appropriate for kids so this is a great book to have on hand when you get that 10 year old that wants to read about these superheroes

This was sweet, adorable, and had some soft life lessons on bouncing back from mistakes (and making sure you know that EVEN your heroes make mistakes).

In each short chapter of this graphic novel, a Justice League member goes through their daily activities and then checks their email, typing back a letter to a child who has sent them fan mail. This is a really cute concept, and the author and illustrator execute it well, creating a charming story where each superhero either recollects their own childhood or shows how much they still have in common with the fears, insecurities, and joys of a kid's life. This book also strikes a good balance in how it illustrates the characters' lives, showing them both in ordinary routines and in superhero mode. At the end of the book, the episodic chapters tie together as the Justice League takes on a threat together, and this creates a satisfying ending to an otherwise non-linear story. I enjoyed the whole book, and will keep it in mind as a recommendation.
