SINS OF THE OLD! In response to their lack of gratitude, the world holding Superboy, Impulse, and Tim Drake captive has brought back the three villains who have caused them the most pain to keep them in their place: Deathstroke, Captain Boomerang, and Lex Luthor. Old wounds will open. Wonder Girl and her search team will have to hurry up before there's no Young Justice left to save!
As a fan of Peter David's original Young Justice series, I am loving this return of the team. Fitzmartin and Braga are doing a fine job of tapping the nostalgia for that series, while still creating a new story of their own. I am hoping that this series is leading to a new Young Justice title. Hopefully DC has plans for Young Justice once the dust settles from Dark Crisis. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: Young Justice #3 is the weakest issue of the series so far. Given where the story is at the end of the second issue, there is relatively little advancement until the final pages. The opening of the issue touches on intriguing themes of wish fulfillment and catharsis but devolves in quality quickly. Bart is the only character keeping up with the changing circumstances, and while Connors reluctance to face the nature of the situation is understandable, Tim feels a step behind for much of the issue because of his refusal to listen to Bart and failure to empathize with Connor. He feels a few steps behind what we know despite how obvious it is that they are being manipulated, and that creates a frustrating experience. Fortunately the mystery of what is happening to the trio remains intriguing, making up for the at times uneven character portrayals, and the art contributes to the strong Bart and Connor portrayals.

It's still unclear if this is directly connected to what's happening with the Justice League over in the central Dark Crisis series, but at least there's some forward momentum. Read Full Review
I came out of comic reviewing retirement for this book; that's how much I love the team of Young Justice. Halfway through, I'm not entirely convinced I'll review all 6 issues; that's how bad the story and characterization have been. If you're a fan of Young Justice, don't bother reading this book.

Last month, I recommended against reading on and that still holds true. This isn't a good comic and I don't see that changing. Despite the writing being slightly less offensive this time out, the suffering artwork takes away the primary thing Dark Crisis: Young Justice had going for it. If you are just reading this to complete the event, let me just remind you: events are expensive. Don't spend more than you have to. This tie-in is wholly inessential. It does nothing to support the event and, in fact, actively works against it. I've honestly been loving all the other tie-ins so do yourself a favor, skip this one, and put your money toward the rest. Read Full Review
First things first, wasn't Jericho, using Slade's body, the one who shot Impulse? Or am I remembering it wrong? Anyway. This issue was... something. The face your trauma part felt rushed, forced even. The conflict between our main trio didn't flow naturally, in my opinion. I liked the artwork but sometimes how the characters emote don't fit with what they are saying. Like when Superboy talks about being trapped in other planet. This issue jumps from one place to another so quickly that one can say this is all over the place, every section, every argument, feels like a parody. Maybe this is on purpese and maybe this is a good thing, but I just don't know. Trying to get what this wants to say is somewhat confusing. And it ends like issue 2, w more
