It feels like it's been a long strange trip to get here, but this is still the most fun I've had reading a DC teen team book in a long time. Read Full Review

While I enjoyed the arc, and will miss this version of Stephanie Brown stepping up to take on the role of the main Bat-character in the alternate world as Batwoman, I do have to agree with Impulse that the storyline peaked with the team meeting the Zoo Crew. Read Full Review

I have my opinions on Brian Michael Bendis' writing style when it comes to teenage characters, but so far he's managed to do a well enough job that I keep coming back. With great art from the two artists and their inkers and colorists, Young Justice is still a fun story with great characters, especially the emerging ones. Read Full Review

John Timms and Nick Derington do great work with the art. The visuals follow the pace of the story really well and I love the beginning and end of the issue a lot. There are s few panels that seemed a little too busy. They were filled with too much and it threw the pace off a little. Read Full Review

This issue had a lot packed into it, and some of it was done really well, while other parts felt like they'd worn out their welcome. Jinny's backstory was an interesting and clear look at her character, reasons for leaving home, and just where her mysterious trunk came from. The continued battle on Earth-3 was fun, but too busy, and after three issues of so much fighting it's end was welcome. All in all, boxes were opened, hero identities changed, and after a long journey it seems like the team is home at last, ready to dive straight into their next adventure. Read Full Review

It's a good issue of Young Justice that with a few changes could have been great. Read Full Review

We're done with Earth-3 and besides for getting flashbacks to origins and a new name for Robin, there didn't seem to be a reason for any of this in the long run and I've completely lost faith in this series making any sense or finding out any answers to what's going on in the continuity.  The art is fine for the most part, but it feels like Bendis is having trouble in dealing with more than one character at a time here.

I didn't want it to, but this major universe change really threw me out of the whole issue. If you removed this aspect or had given Tim a stronger name change and suit design, I'd be rating this issue a 4.5/5. As it is though, they didn't, and I'm just not able to get over this decision.

Young Justice started off promising but right now theres nothing unique enough about it beyond Bendis random changes for the sake of changes. Read Full Review

Overall, there are elements for a really great issue in here that are muddled with so many subplots that none of them are able to truly stand out. Read Full Review

The art is fantastic, but the writing is frustratingly uneven. Jinny's backstory is effective, but the finale of the fight scene between Young Justice and their evil counterparts is entirely uninteresting and never makes clear what the point of the whole lost in the multiverse story. And as everyone else has already pointed out, Tim Drake's new costume isn't good and using your surname as your superhero name is probably a bad idea. Also, despite the solicit and cover, breakout star Naomi doesn't so much join the team as randomly show up on the last page.

Oh, Bendis... what are you doing? What in the name of Dr. Manhattan are you doing with this series? It's yet another run he controls, which time and time again not only fails to impress and entertain me, but also feels like a straight up vanity project. That's basically what I feel about the entirety of Wonder Comics, Superman, and now Legion of Super-Heroes. Instead of taking characters under his wings and embrace who they are, Bendis tries his damn best to reinvent them, and mold them into something HE would like. That can't be a sustainable model, it eventually has to start cracking, because there'll be only more fans displeased with his creative decisions regarding already established heroes.

Oh, and by the way, the entire "Drake" nickname is capital B-A-D. Yeah, sure, use your real last name as your secret vigilante identity in freaking 2019, be my guest, especially when normies associate it with some talentless pseudo rapper, or whatever he's supposed to be. Marv Wolfman took Dick Grayson's Robin and transitioned him into Nightwing, which had some story purpose, Dick wanted to be his own thing, instead of living in Batman's shadow. But this sudden change? What a random thing, isn't it?
Then again, Nightwing has suffered a lot lately as well, with this entire "Rick" nonsense. Oh, man, I wonder how long it'll be til Jason and Damian begin to hope they remained dead, once another overconfident hacky writer comes in with a chainsaw and ruins them.
Drake... sigh... more

Prelude:
It's time for Naomi to appear in Young Justice because why not? Let's see how this story goes.

The Good:
Wow, I really shouldn't have filled out "The Bad" section first.

Nick Derington's art is great. John Timms' is good too but not up with Derington.

The Bad:
What the hell is that costume and name? Drake?

Jinny's backstory is pretty basic.

Also, great Bendis has given himself a box which can basically solve any problem the team faces.

Naomi appears on the last page and that's it.

Conclusion:
Wow, this wasn't good was it. I'm only going below 5 due to Drake but otherwise it's just a mediocre issue and I didn't even mention Bendis-Speak. Just assume I did. more

Well we now have the backstory of Jenny and I have no clue what she can actually do. Just like Naomi who is going to be forced into the book. Speaking of forced, this is just a basic Bendis book. Good amount of forced panels. Art is very good though. But we really don’t get enough of the whole team!

I hate this book.

Worse than gingivitis kisses.

Well it happened. They have been hinting at the name change for a while now and I for one was seriously hoping that they were just playing with us as to what it was going to be. Such was not the case. Tim DRAKE is now calling himself Drake. Why??? Why are they making the second smartest Batman family member stupid. Tim is the one that figured out who Batman, Robin and Nightwing really were. He was able to piece together clues to their identities like it was nothing special beyond adding 2 + 2. He's way to smart to be dumb enough to use his actual real last name as his superhero name. Why are they making him stupid now? Why? Plus he would never pick something as lame and ridiculous as a term for a male duck as his hero name. He's basically going around calling himself a duck. As a last name that's fine but as a superhero.... NO no no no no. Tim was my favorite character in the book. He was the reason I've been reading it though it hasn't really been worth doing so. But now I'm afraid I just can't get behind a character named duck. I just can't do it. Now when I look at the character instead of seeing a strong fierce fighter trained by Batman I see nothing but Duckboy. I even hear quacking in the background. Now let's talk about that suit of his. I like the design but the color choice... nope. He looks like a superhero UPS driver. Someone steal your package off your porch ? Never fear! Duckboy will get it back for you.

I've kept reading this series since it came out hoping the book would improve once the team finally got back home. Now I don't even care where the title goes. I just can not bring myself to buy it to support the character of Duckboy ( oops Drake ). I just can't do it. Maybe if this 5G crap that DC has planned changes his name to something logical and cool sounding I'll come back to it. We will see. With any luck fans will step up and follow my lead and force DC to see how stupid an idea this change is for Red Robin's character. Just complaining doesn't help prove the point if you keep buying the book and showing you will buy it no matter how they fuck it up. A drop in sales speaks far louder and goes further then any simple complaint. A complaint just gives then attention and gets people buying it to check out what everyone is talking about. While a drop in sales speaks volumes to there being a problem in need of being fixed.

As for the art. It was just okay. It could have been better and more consistent. At times it looked lazily drawn. The over all story is still stupid and feels thrown together. more
