While the comics do pay some homage to the Justice Friends and some of the struggles the Wonder Twins always faced, this take is a bit too modern to do them justice.

It does build more on their planet's culture and adds some zany teen antics.
But it uses too much of the worn goals of being in high school in an ironic tone.
As well as using the disenchanted youth tropes.

While it could be interested it just feels like there are never any heroic victories.
Even in the Justice Friends, the Wonder Twins always got in trouble and needed to be bailed out, but they were hopeful and unassuming.

I think playing up being fish out of water would be better than their ongoing frustration of Earth.

Using so much social commentary through comics can be empowering, but it can also make it too heavy to be enjoyable. And that is true for this comic. One of the best part of super hero comics, especially DC, is to see epic adventures and a better day in the end. The hope that goes with it. Seeing heroes be heroes. Seeing heroes thrust into situations and failing through them and calling it win, misses that mark.

The social commentary using Lex Luthor and Lex News is a bit too close to home. While it will give future generations a glimpse at how media and businesses interact it isn't fun to read.

That being said, the sibling relationship is great and showing how they depend on each other, the core of the Wonder Twins, is still there. I wish they shared the same enthusiasm, but that seems to be a deliberate mismatch in this comic.
