I watched this show a few months ago and got obsessed with it, so I decided to pick up the graphic novel ! Really fun and enjoyable if you've watched the TV series, but one thing I was annoyed by was Artemis is on the cover but she's not in the actual graphic novel at all...Other than that it was just really quick and a fun addition to the Young Justice story.
Absolutely loooooved the cartoon series, and this volume matches it pretty well in tone and even format (each new story is introduced by date and time!)And did I mention that I'm a huge Aqualad fan? Kaldur'ahm, baby!Definitely lived up to expectations, I'd read the next volume for sure.
Nice art and stories. Good read. Recommended
The perfect companion to the TV series. Not only is DC's Young Justice an action-packed all-ages alternative to its less kid-friendly/continuity-heavy mainstream series, but it also provides additional back-up stories for Cartoon Network's series of the same name (currently in its second season). This first trade reveals the origins of Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy (where did Superboy get all of those black t-shirts?!?). It also sheds some light on events merely hinted at...
I was a little hesitate at first when i saw they were making a young justice. I grew up on Batman, wonder woman, superman, green arrow and all of the original comics. I was mainly a big fan of Batman and so i already was familiar with Robin and again with most of the generations of the super hero's. I was pleasantly surprised by this one and i a very good way. It was well written, not over down and i liked the idea! I can not wait to read Vol.2 and see where the writers will take the young justi...
My son and I are excited to read this together. When I told him a copy was coming in the mail, he got very excited :)My 8 year old LOVED this book! It's a great book and i would recommend it to all comic book fans.
I had previously read 2 issues of the comic and greatly enjoyed them so wanted to try the series proper as I'm a Justice League junkie. The JL pops up now and then as the guardians and bosses of Young Justice but mainly they stay out of the picture. This first volume starts off with friends Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash having just rescued (let loose) Superboy from Cadmus where he was being made as an ultimate weapon. He and Miss Martian also come along and the five teenagers form a covert team t...
Reading the comics in between watching the episodes of the TV show and it's been a fun experience! The premise of the sidekicks becoming superheroes is the best thing and I'm already sad that there are only two seasons of the TV show and four volumes of the comics.The characters are so well-developed and distinct and I like that the team is small as we get to have individual focus on everyone. The best issues are the last two because of the origin stories of the members. Superboy is probably the...
Like the cartoon to which this the companion, good, but not great. It definitely does not stand alone from the show: the comic issues take place between cartoon episodes, so much of the character development and plot progress takes place (and rightly so) off the page and on screen. It does make a nice extra, though: the tone matches, and I felt like I could hear the voice actors for each of the characters talking as I read. Possibly will improve as it goes on, or at least when Artemis shows up.
Thanks to Goodreads.com I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads
I found about Young Justice in 2013 and finished both seasons in around 2 weeks or so. It annoyed me a lot knowing a show this great isn't getting a third season. I mean, this is a very good one nowadays were they don't make cartoons as good as they used to do back in the days. Then, I saw a screenshot for it in pinterest and was blown away when I knew there was a comic for the show.The story is like a fill-up in the timeline. A little bit more for those who didn't have enough from those 46 epis...
Enjoyable. The best part was when the characters are giving us their backgrounds. I'm hoping, though, that later volumes help explain some of the events that happen between seasons 1&2 and possibly 2&3.
4 stars. Slow.
I find these kinds of comics to be frustrating at times. Because as they use these well-known characters and add in events not previously covered in the show, I find myself going either "Okay that happened" or "nope, I don't buy it." It can be great for getting extra information, but sometimes that information just doesn't seem trustworthy. For instance, do I believe that Superboy stayed at Wally's after they rescued him from Cadmus? Yes, he had to stay somewhere and that makes sense. Do I belie...
Slightly different than the television series, just as a warning. But that's not to say that this is a bad thing. I actually like the slight differences :) They don't go through the whole rescuing Superboy from Camus thing (it starts right after they break him out) but it still keeps pretty accurately to the TV show :) Great read for YJ fans!
Amazing! Oh my God, I don't know how to describe it, I just really loved it. About to start volume 2 right now. (I'll try to write more later).
Teaser, there's no Artemis.
So I recently binged the second season of the Young Justice (Invasion) cartoon series, which I missed when it aired and was catching up on the series now that there is a third season. I realized watching the various extras on the blu-ray that the comic tie-in actually contained lots of unstated background material. I had downloaded a preview of the comic long ago and decided to give this collection (issue 0-6) a try.The stories are a bit thin but give some nice background and characterization to...
I really like that we get more introspection with Superboy in the comics. He was my least favorite male character from s1. I'll probably still like him the least from the OG Young Justice show-verse but that's because I just love the other boys so much. Sorry "Supey" lol. Kaldur and Dick remain tied at number 1. And Wally's excessive flirting with M'gann has never bothered me because it's so cringey that it's impossible to take him seriously. I don't find anything he's said to be creepy, he's ju...
After finishing season 2 of the show I wanted more young justice, season 3 isn't available in Australia so the comics would have to suffice. It's entertaining and has a very similar feel to the show. I can appreciate the balance struck here between the retelling of events that happened on the show and totally new comic-exclusive stories. While the art is quite flavourless, I dont mind it.Might read the next couple volumes and see if the series holds up.
