More Justice League for Kids

Another entry--lamentable again, I'm afraid--in the new line of Justice League products:

Sonneborn, Scott. Justice League: Partners in Peril. Illus. Andy Smith. Colors by Brad Vancata. New York: HarperFestival- HarperCollins Children’s Books-HarperCollins, 2013. N.pag. Print. 978-0-06-221007-4

In Justice League: Partners in Peril, the Justice League assembles to battle the rampaging android Amazo (one of the team’s less well-known foes). The roster here very much represents the classic Justice League and features Batman, Black Canary (apparently Dinah Laurel Lance), Flash (most likely Barry Allen), Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Hawkman (presumably Katar Hol), Martian Manhunter, and Superman. The art is of variable quality, and there appears to have been no effort made to match the various characters to their comic book originals.
