DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis (Family Comic Friday)

   Imagine if most of the heroes and villains of the DC Universe all attended a high school in Gotham City. While enrolled, they are trained by their teachers to become the next generation of Super Heroes. That's DC Super Hero Girls in a nutshell.

    Now a bestselling line of dolls, young adult novels, and a popular web series, this volume collects the first storyline of the web comic series from 2015-16.

     It's almost finals and the girls of Super Hero High are practicing, studying, and preparing for their exams. Yet one by one, the young heroes are kidnapped by a mysterious foe. It's up to Harley Quinn to track her companions down and save the day! 

     Uh-oh! They're doomed!

    This was a very enjoyable little series. There was lots for not only girls but boys to enjoy! Parents will delight too- especially if they grew up reading DC Comics. There's tons of great Easter eggs and throw backs to vintage DC. 

     The only thing I had an issue with was the artwork. Every characters is stunningly rendered and they look so much like the toys. But the posing of the characters just looked a little off. For example, there's a scene at the end where all the Super Hero Girls are together posing for a class picture. Sadly, Supergirl looks too small and two or three other characters look like they are floating about 6 inches of the stage. It's definitely a composition issue.

    A delightful read based on a toy line that is full of girl power!

    Worth Consuming

    Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
