This is a good little intro. Nice use of humor and reporting.

For whatever reason, the illustrative work is immediately better that of the predecessors.

Zatanna uses her abilities to thwart a burglar; Wonder Woman lends a helping hand…and lasso.

The female Green Lantern chick…not sure who she is, or what her purpose is.

The girls celebrate their triumphs at the Sweet Justice Café.

Babs having ice cream for breakfast is a choice. 🩵 😊

But wait…the notifications come through. Has Lois exposed them all???

Cute. Much, much better than the first two. Though putting HQ on the cover and not even giving her a cameo is super misleading…

Based off the tv series.

Good color artwork. Dc comics freebie. 7 pages. The girls are a little sloppy fighting crime and are facing midterms. This would be easier to review if it was 32 pages.

Meh. I enjoyed the stories set at a superhero school but this high-school setting doesn't have the magic (or maybe it's Wolfram replacing Shea Fontana).

This is a cute graphic novel. I love that it’s Karen who is the main character. She seems to be sidelined a lot. And her team ups with Kara were great.
