Study Hall of Justice (DC Comics: Secret Hero Society #1)

So like most parents I struggle to get my son to read more. He would rather watch TV or play video games. I can relate because I was the same way. I took notice to what games he has been playing and what games he has been playing. Most if not all of them have to do with comic book heroes. So I figured that I would take a chance and buy a book that has his favorite characters in the story. To say that I was pleased with the results would be an under statement. He started the book on a Saturday morning and he was done the entire book around lunch time. I asked him how it was and he said it was great and then proceeded to tell me in detail most parts of the book. So if your kid is in to comic book heroes I would recommend that you give this book a try.

With the incredible ongoing popularity of superheroes, a series like this one is bound to be popular. I myself enjoyed reading about the antics of a young Bruce Wayne and his newly found friends, Clark Kent, and Diana Prince. As a graphic novel, the book makes for a pretty quick read. Bruce Wayne tells his story through instant messages, diary entries, school reports, broken up with graphic novel panels. Bruce, Clark, and Diana are investigating the strange happenings at their new school, but they have to do it without revealing all their own secrets. For young superhero fans who aren't ready for the confusing world of comics with their numerous different story lines, this book makes for a great precurser.

Decided to buy as a bday gift. 8 year old.Before giving it I decided to read /cause I like DC lmao//So there is a chapter that's on Halloween day and honestly the kids family is religious so that was a no goBut I gave it to another kid. The cover looks nice and it's like solving cases at school. Nice art style.

Requested gift

Had originally picked it up for my youngest daughter. Half the family ended up reading one after the other. Art was amazing and the story was a fun romp with kids version of the DC universe. I'm all for getting more exposure of DC and Marvel characters in the mainstream.

An all-ages romp through the middle school version of the DC Universe. This book definitely takes cues from the Jedi Academy and Origami Yoda series, but commits much more fully to the graphic novel format.I fun read for late elementary to early middle school readers with a relative basket of Easter eggs for older DC fans. I've missed L'il Gotham, and I can't wait for Dustin's and Derek's next volume of this delightful, new series.

I love the cover art. Love the story within. But my middle schoolers just won’t pick it up because of the missing color within. It’s black-and-white pictures inside and with nowadays color for graphic novels out there they are not interested in black-and-white. It’s quite a disservice to the author.

My 9 year old loves all these books. I am trying to get him to read more and he reads these books in less than a week. He gets so excited when a new book comes out.

I initially found out about this book through a social media friend, who posted a picture of their copy and spoke of their own glee at the book. At a brief glance, I could see that the artist for the front cover was Dustin Nguyen and my interest was piqued. Nguyen is one of my favourite comic book artists, and generally speaking, anything he's been involved with has always been something I've enjoyed. Little wonder then, that I took myself off to Amazon to order a copy.Secret Hero Society: Study Hall of Justice is a book aimed at much younger readers than me, but you know what? That does not stop it from being a highly enjoyable read all the same. Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, and Diana Prince teaming up at a school that is unusually lack on the misbehaviour of the majority of it's students. Actually, scratch that. All it's students, barring our tiny Trinity. It's down to the three heroes to find out what's going on and bring justice to an unjust place.Derek Fridolfs has to be commended. He not only seems to understand each respective member of the Trinity, but he writes them well, especially at a younger age when their personalities as we known them would not be fully in place. As such, we do get some understand 'new' quirks: Bruce is a bit of a dork, Clark is ridiculously naive about the world, and Diana has a few... anger problems. Not going to lie, actually, Diana's temper is fantastic and I love that she's been allowed to have a temper, considering the paragon of virtue that the female role usually has to be in books for younger readers. As mentioned in other reviews, this isn't a traditional prose story. It's made up of comic panels, journal entries, texts and instant messages between the tiny Trinity, as well as various leaflets and flyers and other goodies that help add to the over-all feel of this being Bruce trying to cobble together a case file.Honestly, there's not much else I can say without dipping too far into the spoiler territory. You will see your favourite villains, you will end up being charmed by the interactions of the tiny Trinity, and you will finish the book and immediately want another. I sincerely hope that Secret Hero Society is a new series of books from DC, because I know that I'll happily buy another if Fridolfs and Nguyen are at the helm again.(Add Gail Simone and I'll buy more than one copy of each book.)
