Description

The JL8 strip, nee Little League, by Yale Stewart takes the primary members of DC's Justice League of America and places them in elementary school as 8 years olds (JL + 8, get it?).

I think the strip is wonderful. Yale has a strong sense of pace and does an excellent job of conveying emotion through his character's body language and subtle expression changes. The dialog is excellent and the jokes are funny. He also handles poignant moments well.

In this strip, Clark (Superman) has discovered that his crush Diana (WW), but she loves him like a brother. He's crushed, but his character shines through as he says that at least he knows her. Yale closed the strip focused on Clark's water glass - half full. Nice touch and handled well.

Yale's a beginner just learning his craft with his first projects coming out now, but JL8 is a strong strip well worth your time to read. Trust me!

How come I didn't comment yet? This is the strip which made me discover JL8, and transformed me into an instant fan. This strip is very poetic and well handled. The final panel is very symbolic and the perfect way to end it.
