Pretty good Question issue. The characters felt very much like themselves.

Short and sweet—made for kids, but from an animated series that understood the characters better than some modern comics. A perfect lunch break read with the added bonus of highlighting one of the less popular, but no less interesting, Justice League characters.

A great detective story with a great message. The art style is great, and is clearly based on Justice League Unlimited the television series, as the title indicates. Speaking of which, this could be adapted into a JLU episode.

Probably almost every comics reader is particularly fond of at least one fifth-string character. You know, the sort of chara who just drops in once in a while on the big superheroes, guest starring or making cameos. These characters don't have long-lasting monthly titles or direct-to-DVD animated features, but they do have enough fans to keep them alive and popping up. And those fans will happily take what they get.

The Question is a pip, a conspiracy theorist of the first order who broods over cork boards covered in newspaper clippings while suspecting everyone of everything. Why the Justice League would want him to join their group is beyond me; maybe Batman wants to keep the guy contained. Maybe Flash feels sorry for him. At any rate, whenever the Question muttered his way into an episode of the animated Justice League Unlimited TV series, it was a welcome break from Green Arrow complaining about stuff and Martian Manhunter not doing anything and Captain Atom in general. So that's how I wound up getting this children's easy reader from the library. It has the Question on the cover. You take what you get.

And this IS a comic. Ok, the story is 19 pages long and the volume has a section in the back explaining to the readers what big, grownup words like "thwart" mean. But! It's a comic. And it's actually pretty good, since it's almost entirely about the Question talking to himself while skulking around in a cloud of paranoia. That's pretty much all I wanted, so yeah, you go, easy reader of the 4.5-grade reading level.

I love the Question, and frankly this is my favorite version of the character. It's great to see the world from his POV.
