Just asking. Its a comic strip series that takes a "what if" approach to the Justice League if they were 8 years old, and went to school together. Bruce and Clark are best friends, Hal and Barry are too, tag is avoided because of Clark and Barry zooming all over the place, Diana and Karen Starr roll their eyes at the boys' sometimes immaturity...

I've read it. It's very enjoyable. My favorite storyline was Diana's birthday party.

JL8 is excellent. It's not just a cute little strip, there's an actual storyline, and it's filled with DC lore. Great series. Alan Scott as the boy scout counselor was my one of my favorite moments

I've been a fan since I read it for the first time years ago. It had another name that I can't remember

I love it. I stayed up all night reading it in one go. I am behind though. Last place I left off was Clark meeting Lois.

So freaking great! Once I started it I couldn't stop until I'd reached the latest episode. I wish there were already more to read!

Big fan, though I wish I had a better sense of the update schedule. Huge fan of the birthday party arc, the Karen/Bruce date arc, and the current Clark/Lois arc.

It's great. I've fallen behind again though, as I prefer to read a whole bunch of strips in a row than wait for each installment with the less than consistent release schedule,

Absolutely enjoying JL8!! The artwork is smooth, polished, and dead-on, the dialogue the same. And the humor--just right! Hope everyone finds this and enjoys it.

Something like 250 though a few of the strips are multiple parts so really it's more like 270. Still, it's hard to read the first one and not read all the way to the end. It's really addictive.
