Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3–6—Northrop follows up his acclaimed Dear Justice League, a volume comprised of letters from fictional children asking advice from superheroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. It turns out that children of the DC universe have as many questions for the Legion of Doom as they did for the Justice League—like how can Catwoman be bested by Batman when he has no superpowers? Has the hilarious Harley Quinn ever considered trying her hand at stand-up comedy? And why hasn't Lex Luthor managed to discover a cure for baldness? The first eight chapters each feature a short story starring a DC supervillain, each of whom also responds to a fan letter. The story lines converge after Black Manta naively replies to his fan "Artie Fishman" (actually Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman) with details about the Legion's plan to liberate Lex Luthor from prison. In the final chapter, justice is served and the villains are incarcerated. While the DC supervillains are undeniably bad, their responses to the fan letters (and to readers) encourage kids to be confident and embrace their individuality. Both protagonists and background characters are diverse. The stylized, dynamic artwork features visual gags that will have children giggling, with creative panel work that will introduce readers to the language of comics. VERDICT Fans of Northrop's earlier edition will adore this clever and funny sequel. Recommended for juvenile collections; a strong gateway read to get kids interested in both comics and the DC universe.—Tammy Ivins, Univ. of North Carolina at Wilmington

Fierce Women and Bat Butt
This was just terrible to see. Follows representation code to a tee (overemphasize how strong women are with lazy writing while objectifying men).Some stories are better than others, but it can really be hit or miss if you can't put up with goofy sound effects and the bat-butt (because cat/Quinn butt would be "evil").

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.
