It is shame we won't get a lot more of this. And I do hope that as readers we get some closure about the mystery of the team's return. Read Full Review

Although the end of Young Justice looms on the horizon, the series could go out on a high note if it continues to deliver succinct single issues in the mode of Young Justice #18. Read Full Review

The artwork in this issue particularly stands out to me, as it differs slightly from the usual Young Justice style. The typical artwork is bright and colorful, but this issue takes a darker and grittier turn. This was done in a very obvious way, to mimic the feel of a Batman comic, as this issue focuses around two former Bat family members. Read Full Review

Young Justice #18 should remind readers why Spoiler and Robin need to have their own book (again). There is nothing better than Tim and Steph on a case. They are the DC power couple we all want and deserve. I know I already mentioned it, but the Drake name is finally done. The suit was amazing, no doubt, but seriously, the smartest person in the DCU would not name himself after himself. OK. I am done talking about it forever now. Read Full Review

Although the rest of the characters make cameos here, to offer moral support at the end and help Stephanie celebrate the win, it's really a Stephanie Brown issue (which we haven't seen in several years). We may not get Steph in a cowl, but Young Justice #18 does pull the character out of the shadows and shine some much needed light on the former Batgirl. Read Full Review

This book feels like a Young Justice book in name only, given as the focus is really on Spoiler and Drake. The breezy nature of the book doesn't help the almost throwaway name change or its importance down the line. As readers of my reviews, and listeners of The Definitive Crusade, will know, I am a huge Steph Brown fan. Seeing her get closure on her Dad is great for the character, thought it was done with much more style and best guest stars in her own Batgirl book (#24) by Bryan Q. Miller. Read Full Review

This issue makes Stephanie shine. It puts her squarely in the spotlight, and sends the familiar duo of Stephanie and Tim back on an adventure. There are a few details that bring it down a bit, like the need to bring the whole Young Justice team in, and some awkward moments of dialogue, but it's generally good read when it's focusing on Stephanie. If you've been wishing for more Spoiler in your comics, this is one to pick up. Read Full Review

The moments that land are good and the art by both teams is well-done, but the issue suffers from pacing and focus problems. Spoiler comes off pretty awesome, though. Read Full Review

The art continues to be the best part of this book since we once again have Bendis trying to write himself out of a corner since it seems that he finally learned that Cluemaster was dead after he opened this series with Stephanie talking about him being alive. So that's our issue here folks.... trying to make this series make sense and to do that, we're going to be taking some plot points from Pre-Flashpoint Stephanie Brown stories to get there.

What a waste of my time.

Tim was Robin for 20 years, he is too old to be the wonder boy, he is already an adult he should have his own identity, be his own hero, one that is already equal to nightwing, red hood and even batman, he is no longer a sidekick, he is no longer a child

There is absolutely NOTHING good about this issue. The story sucked. The art was beyond awful and the dialogue was just endless droning on about nothing of interest. Too much of Spoiler. The one and only time I like Steph was when she was Robin for a few issues. Okay I was wrong there is one thing about this issue that was great. Tim is no longer styling a UPS driver costume or calling himself a male duck. Yay!!!!!!!! While I don't really want him to be Robin again, he's to old to be wearing that costume and not coming across as looking either very immature or like a possible future child molester. That custome is better on a much younger character. It would have been nice to have been told why Tim is Robin again and how he feels about it. That is so annoying. Once in awhile it's nice to get into some character depth and growth. more
