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.
A book is like the TARDIS. Open it up and it's bigger on the inside. One part reading journal, one part educational tool for pop culture newbies and parents of young geeks. This blog is your portal into the world of movies, TV, superheroes, and of course books!
