Yes! A new DC Super Hero Girls Volume! I just love these, so much fun to see all my favourite heroes and villains in one book/world. :) Often at the same school even!

This time we have a stolen Batplane, Odyssey books (and some more deeper story about it), demons, and much more. At times I was a bit bored, but then the pace picked up again and I was back to being fully immersed in the story.

I was delighted to see some new characters, including Raven, who is a big favourite of mine. I hope we do see more of her, maybe even at the school if the principal gets her way. That would be splendid.

The whole who-stole-the-plane? I thought it was the teacher to make sure the students would sleep well and learn for the test on Monday. :P It would have made a fun story if that was the case. But no, it is something else entirely.

I did love how the book picked up various things from the Odyssey story and made the hunt for the batplane (and later the teacher) a lot more interesting. From the sirens to the underground to defeating a big baddie. I loved it, it makes the Odyssey a bit more fun (sorry, it is dreadfully boring).

The slumber party/the idea of a slumber party was fun. I am so happy Wonder Woman made so many friends. And that Harley is one of them (another favourite girl of mine).

I had such a laugh when people flew in the invisible yet. :P Those expressions were just so hilarious and fun.

The expressions of the characters are one thing that I adore in this story. Just like the art itself, how the characters are drawn. They are all great. :)

All in all, I quite enjoyed myself, and I will definitely be hoping for more DC Super Hero Girls! Not that long until Batgirl's story comes out.

My daughter loved it. We had a ton of fun reading this together, and it's got a five-year-old wanting to read 128 page books! Recommended!

Who wouldn't want to attend a super fun slumber party at Themyscira? All of the superheroes at Super Hero High are super pumped for a slumber party this weekend....that is, until things start to go wrong. Batgirl's Batplane goes missing. Professor Etrigan is nowhere to be found and all signs point to him having stolen the Batplane...but why?

This is another cute installment in this graphic novel series. It continues to show the superheroes honing their skills and learning to work together to achieve a common goal. The artwork follows along with the other graphic novels in this series and the movies that have been released in this franchise. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a series for your children, or if you want a quick, fun read for yourself.

I kept putting off reading this until it had to go back to the library the next day, but it was surprisingly great! The art is a bit flat, but it is serviceable, and the writing is super voicey and fun. I would still kinda debate whether this is, in fact, a Odyssey retelling, but a version about friendship and without cannibalism is probably more appropriate for an all-ages comic anyways.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one but it's still a fun series.

I LOVE reading these little graphic novels. The DC Superhero Girls is something that I think was desperately needed as it sheds light on some of the lesser known DC characters.

My only qualm with this one was that they made Black Canary a bad guy. Canary is a LEGENDARY DC hero, and I don't understand why they would want to change that for one graphic novel.

Reread.

I couldn't remember where I left off in this series so I decided to reread them from the beginning. A fun visit to the DC Comics world for young readers. I like the introduction to not only the characters everyone knows like Batgirl and Wonder Woman, but also Bumble Bee, Starfire, Frost, and more.
