Another delightful comic featuring the Super Hero Girls. Great storyline filled with positive story lines.

This is a cute addition to this fun graphic novel series. The graphic novel stories are lighter and sillier than the middle grade novels by Lisa Yee about these characters. Both series are great - there's lots for kids to enjoy with either or both. The solution to the runaway comics problem in the book may raise a few groans from readers. But the serious moment at the end addressing mental health was a nice surprise with a great message (though it may be heavy in tone compared to the rest of the book).

Librarian: As a woman, and an unashamed geek, it makes me extremely happy to see little girls get into superheroes. For that alone, I would love the DC Superhero Girls books. The fact that they're actually good? It makes me so happy. Plus, the stories are good enough, that the little boys want to read them too! With such broad appeal, how can any Elementary School/Children's librarian resist adding these to their Kid's Graphic Novel Section?
Reader: The DC Superhero Girls continue to remain a treat for readers of all ages. These are easily some of the best kid's comic books I've ever read, and it always makes me excited to read more of them.

A fun story with the Super heroes from Super Hero High. Harley is breaking rules and showing her creative side in this comic. My daughter loved that Harley's drawings came to life. Batgirl is her favorite and she absolutely loved the Baticorn!!!

Another great story for the DC Super Hero Girls. My daughter laughed and enjoyed all the antics. She always loves when the heroes save the day.

I think elementary and possibly middle school girls will enjoy this graphic novel which features a Harley and Ivy that are good, along with Supergirl, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, and other teenaged super heroes.
The girls are given an art assignment to create a comic, and Harley creates an evil version of herself but uses magic paint that makes the drawings come to life! Added to this disaster, their art teacher, Ms. Moone turns into the Enchantress and the girls have to fight both sets of evil as they try to take over the high school and the town!

I love that a comic book that kids will devour encourages taking care of one's mental health! (I mean, does it makes sense for Harley to comment on going into psychiatry? Obviously, but still, ALL of the main girls mention that they see someone to talk things out, which is just amazing.) I'm sure those kids who happen to have seen Suicide Squad will love this particular volume of DC Super Hero Girls thanks to the inclusion of Enchantress, but all girls are going to love this book!

The DC Super Hero Girls series continues to be a seriously fun comic book, and I love that this title specifically spoke to the importance of taking care of your mental health. It's not something you see all that often in books for kids, but it's something that needs to be normalized. Awesome!

On these gaudy, none-more-bright-and-colourful pages, our superhero girls are writing each other into their comics for a school project, when all the characters come to life as evil equivalents. This causes a horrendous interruption in all the positive vibes and casual affirming going on, leading to many more characters you wouldn't even suspect being dragged into the drama. It's actually a decent way to get the heroines fighting themselves, and the new dark Harley is a decent design move, but boy it is pretty childish. There is a slathered-on message at the end, and to repeat – if reading this digitally, make sure you dim your screen's brightness first.

My youngest loves the DC Super Hero Girls so this was a no-brainer for her. The stories are always pretty kid-friendly. The girls are always taking action and all have distinct personalities. They solve problems along the way. The art is enough at times to get a laugh from her. I hope that we get to see more of these young heroes (and villains) in action.

I thought the idea of Harley’s drawings coming to life was so cute. I love the Super Hero Girls so much and I think they’re such a good thing for young girls to have. I love the way the girls all go through each other’s comics and we can see what girl is thinking, I think it’s a fun way to learn more about each girl’s personality. I personally love Supergirl’s comic, I thought the art was adorable. I also liked how Wonder Woman’s struggle and doubt was shown, but everything still turned out fine because she tried her best. I think that’s an important message for kids. I’m also so happy that Fontana included the message at the end of it being okay to seek mental health help, even if you’re a literal superhero. On a less important note, I absolutely love that Animal Vegetable Mineral Man made an appearance in this book. Fontana and Labat will have my readership for as long as they keep making this series.

I love this comic book series for kids, and this newest book in the series is no different. It is fun and entertaining for kids. If you like the show, you'll like this.

I love having more child-appropriate comic book options out there, really hard to find when you have littles who like the characters they’re seeing on toy store shelves. I kind of question getting little kids into Harley Quinn so early since that adult character is very mature... but that’s up to the parent.

Another great DC Super Hero Girls book. Kids will love seeing the characters drawn in different styles and the zany idea of them fighting against their own imaginations, I loved the meta concept. Another good look at Harley and how she struggles to be good.

Heh. This was pretty funny.

All the girls are at school and a lot of them are staying after to finish up their comic projects. Then Harley Quinn finds some magic points that belong to their teacher. And, uh oh, where could that go wrong?

It does go wrong and their art endeavours come to life. Then their teacher turns into Enchantress and everything goes even worse.

It was another fun DC Super Hero Girls TPB.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.

This is a GREAT book. I read this to my daughter, and she loved it. The book contained great artwork, and it was a great story. This is a comic book geared toward older kids. :)

This title was fantastic! The Superhero Girls are instructed by Ms. Moone not to touch any of her potions while she leaves the school open late for them to finish their comic book projects. The ever impulsive Harley believes some rules are just made to be broken, so she unwittingly unleashes her creations on the school.! Can she and the other contain these paper pests before they escape?

I was expecting a play on Genie in the Bottle, and instead got a comic book heist, about a comic book heist. The girls of Super Hero High are working on graphic novels, but Harley gets into some magic paint and the comics come alive. Which may sound like fun, but in the comics each character is an evil doer instead of someone who fights for justice. This book is exactly what you expect to be when you pick it up. Cheese one liners, and a cartoon TV sensitivity. I will say the “messages” at the end are a little heavy for my taste.
