Comics: The Gathering - Batmanaruto
Apr 03, 2019Overall this is my favourite issue of the run so far and provides evidence that the run is only going to get better from here. It was also great to finally have the OG young justice characters finally meet and get back together. Read Full Review

May 01, 2019I am also a bit hazy on the seven Crises that are being referred to throughout this series. I read an awful lot of books now that I am reviewing them, and its entirely possible I have missed or forgotten something, but I sure would like a clear listing of which seven events are being cited. Thankfully, the next issue blurb refers to this directly, so perhaps my confusion is about to be cleared up. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Apr 03, 2019Patrick Gleason shares art duties with John Tims. Tims' art matches up somewhat favorable with Gleason, but it's too early in the run for shared art duties. Especially since Gleason's art looks so great.Young Justice is just a few steps off from being a must-read book each month. The good news is it seems headed in that right direction. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Apr 03, 2019Four issues in, Young Justice is starting to feel like the longest, most-leisurely high school reunion, and it's a testament to Bendis' writing and the enduring interest in the characters that it remains a compelling book despite a pace that seems to slow down by the issue.

You Don't Read Comics - Christopher Holden
Jul 16, 2019A requisite issue, Young Justice #4 amicably progresses the established narrative, and elicits some heartwarming moments for long-term fans, but provides nothing exemplary or ground-breaking in addition. Serviceably solid, if youve been enjoying the series thus far, youll similarly appreciate this chapter. Read Full Review

Outright Geekery - Antonio Pedro
Apr 06, 2019Sure Bendis is Bendising, but it's the good kind of Bendising. It's written in a very fun way, with cool art and action. If you're looking for something fun and very superhero-y to read, there are much worse books I could think of than this one. I recommend it, go read it. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Nicholas Osborn
Apr 16, 2019Young Justice #4 is a step in the right direction for the series, but its emphasis on outlying plot lines only distracts from those who should be the main focus. Beautiful artwork and some truly heartfelt moments make this an issue still worth reading though. Read Full Review

AIPT - Adrian Care
Apr 03, 2019As a part of a larger arc, the story is fine. The issue's OK, but every multi-part storyline these days could do with one less issue and when the Seven Crises arc is wrapped up, I feel like this could be the issue that was more enjoyable padding then essential read. But enjoyable padding is something Bendis has made his bread and butter. As much as it kills us, he's very good at it. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Elias Rosner
Apr 08, 2019"Young Justice" #4 spends too much time circling in place and dramatizing events that could easily have been summarized. Character voices may be strong but the larger narrative needs to get a move on soon. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Eric Shea
Apr 03, 2019Gemworld aside........ and that's going to be a pretty big thing to try and put aside this issue, I liked what we got from our Young Justice heroes and loved the art overall. I just wish that we didn't have to have these issues happening in Gemworld because if you're not really into that aspect of DC Comics and know little about it....... I don't know what you'll get from all of the flashbacks we get here. Read Full Review

Apr 03, 2019While Bendis' snappy dialogue is fun at first, by this issue readers will likely start wishing a few of the characters would shut up for a second so somebody can bother to explain what's going on. Read Full Review

Apr 05, 2019There's a lot of potential on display in Young Justice, but the storyline needs a little bit of tightening up to win over new fans. Read Full Review

So, I get it. We know littl about Gemworld and little has been explained about it. So those not familiar with Gemworld will have questions and Bendis is doing a slow build from that stand point. However, we get Conner Kent, Bart Allen, Cassie Sandsmark, and The Drake back together again, which is what I've been waiting for. The art is bright and colorful and I see potential from this comic, I just wish it moved a bit faster. I need more questions answered and I feel the flashbacks are filling in gaps that would have been easier if the story was told straight through.. I'm still in mainly for the direction I hope this takes. As for my hopes, I hope we find out that Conner is the baby dad of Wrynn who eventually grows up to be Mordru, more

I really enjoy the writing and the artwork here, but the problem is that it's been four issues now and the story has barely moved anywhere. Things do seem to be picking up now, and, hopefully, the book will improve.

Much less confusing and inconsistent than the previous issue.

Eh not fan of the art. Wish DC would just announce this was either out of continuity or just say this is going to be rewrite some stuff that happened in Rebirth. Issue felt forced on some stuff. But hey other than that, ok issue and great to see the Tim, Cass, Connor, and Bart hug!

6.0
The new series continues to let me down every month, and as much as I would love to read a comic with these particular characters, this ain't it. The story feels so disjointed, poorly explained and executed, it really is hard for me to enjoy it. The bonding moment between Cassie, Tim, Conner and Bart was sweet, and I guess we all waited for it to happen, but it, alone, is not enough to keep this issue afloat. So far I'm really disappointed, not even because the comic itself is terrible, but because I've got way higher expectations for it and hoped it's going to be amazing. Instead, it's... just mediocre.

idk why but I'm just so uncomfortable with Connor having a kid...also this arc just really isn't very appealing to me. But i do appreciate Bendis deciding to put the team back together.
