Michael Northrup and Gustavo Duarte's Dear Justice League Delayed Until August 2019

At the American Library Association Meet earlier this year, where DC Comics announced their new imprints DC Ink and DC Zoom, they grabbed TombQuest's Michael Northrop announce and talk about his upcoming graphic novel Dear Justice League, based on his work as a sports reporter.

He observed the differences in the behaviour and attitude that sports players exhibited, regarding a question he asked as opposed to a question that he presented as asked by a ten-year-old fan –  and how the players in question suddenly got a lot more honest and less likely to give out pat answers.

And that's what Northrop is bringing to the Justice League, having kids ask questions of the supers and get answers – and also acting as a way to talk about their own lives.

This week he posted the cover by the graphic novel's artist Gustavo Duarte. As we got the word that the book had been delayed until the August 2019…

In a press release from DC Comics, they say:

"In Dear Justice League, I wanted to explore who these DC Super Heroes are behind the masks and answer the kinds of questions kids would have for these larger than life figures," explained Northrop. "On a personal note, comics helped me become a better reader, a better storyteller and helped me fit in as a kid. Writing about these same characters is a dream come true and feels like coming full circle to where things began for me as a reader. I hope kids enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it and I hope it helps young fans see that everyone is going through something. Even when it seems like someone is perfect or has it made, they're probably trying to figure it out just like the rest of us."

"I remember discovering DC characters when I was a kid, watching the Super Friends TV show and reading the comics that my dad used to buy me on Sundays," recalled Duarte. "To know that a new generation will discover these Super Heroes and Super-Villains with our book, makes me really happy and proud."

In Dear Justice League, the greatest heroes in the DC universe, the Justice League, find time in between saving the world to answer mail from their biggest fans—kids! Hot button questions like, "Does Superman ever make mistakes?" "What was Wonder Woman's eleventh birthday like?" "Does Aquaman smell like fish?" will be answered, giving readers the inside scoop into everyday heroics. The Justice League's honest and humorous answers will surprise and delight fans of any age, as it turns out that being a superhero is not too different from being a kid.
