The writing style is highly engaging and a lot of fun to read. The layout leads the reader easily between graphic frames and the illustrations are exceptional. There are some very amusing moments throughout but there is more than entertainment here as this crazy superhero team undertakes challenging tasks in which they must rely on each other to succeed and demonstrate initiative and resilience. This is a great read and highly recommended.

I enjoyed the overall sentiment of the story where working together as a team and looking out for each other is the main goal. Trial of heroes certainly had a 'feel good' element to it, especially the ending. I think children of ages 8 and above will really enjoy this story, especially the images. Gavin Aung Than is a cartoonist for the New York Times and his skills are very evident.
