5.0 out of 5 stars Geek Indoctrination, June 4, 2008
By Len Snark (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heroes United!/Attack of the Robot Super Friends (Pictureback) (Paperback)
Two, two, two books in one! The blue side ("Heroes United") is an overview of the DC Super Friends toy line characters (Batman, Aquaman, Superman, Green Lantern, and the Flash). The flip side ("Attack of the Robot") does a good job of introducing basic conflict into the SuperFriends universe, with Lex Luthor inventing a giant robot with a kryptonite hand to menace Superman. The thing is, he's not just fighting Supes, he's fighting the whole team and teamwork always wins. Good morals, art in the style of the toy line, and a nice streamlined story. Bonus points for the little stand-up figures in the middle of the book for solo play. I recommend lamination for those bad boys--they're kind of flimsy. The only bad thing is the boys club mentality; despite DC Comics' push for the "Trinity" of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, the Amazon is nowhere to be found. I hope she shows up soon--my son actually complained.

4.0 out of 5 stars Meet the Super Friends!, January 8, 2010
This review is from: Heroes United!/Attack of the Robot Super Friends (Pictureback) (Paperback)
My son already had the Super Friends action figures, but this little double-sided book made a perfect introduction to the iconic DC super heroes. One side of the book features the "Heroes United" story and the other featured "Attack of the Robot", with a section in the middle containing punch-out mini figures of the main characters.

"Heroes United" is basically a roll call of the five main characters. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the Flash and Aquaman are all given a 1-page introduction with a couple of closing pages showing them working together as a team. I have to question DC's decision to exclude Wonder Woman from this book/toy line, as she would have given it some crossover appeal with girls. I'm glad they at least made an effort towards diversity by including the African-American character John Stewart as Green Lantern though.

"Attack of the Robot" reads more like a traditional superhero story, and is very similar to the classic Super Friends cartoons, especially in terms of corny dialogue. Superman is trapped by Lex Luthor's robot, and Batman calls the Super Friends in to rescue him. It's a simple tale emphasizing teamwork and friendship, and the violence is kept to a minimum.

The cutout figures in the middle are a neat addition, but were lost and/or destroyed within a day or two. The book, on the other hand, has been a bedside favorite of my son's for the past year.
