Step aside, Damian-the world’s favorite Robin has got this! That’s right, after years away, Tim Drake is taking center stage in a brand-spanking-new Robin series of his very own!
A mystery over a year in the making takes shape, as a new villain who’s been hounding Tim from afar decides to take things up close and personal, putting Bernard and everyone else Tim cares about in peril as things go from bad to worse for the world’s oldest and canonically tallest Robin [no, I will not be fact-checking that]. All that and Tim finally carves out a corner of Gotham City just for himself, and sets up shop in his very own…murder shack boat? Fan-favorite writer Meghan Fitzmartin teams up with beloved Harley Quinn artist Riley Rossmo to define the next chapter in Tim’s life.
And as if that wasn’t enough, break out your skateboards and motorcycles cuz we’ve assembled a murderer’s row of artists to draw the 1990s’ One True Robin in his various looks from over the years!

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1

I don’t know a ton about Young Justice. There’s some small runs or stories I’ve read. I never watched the cartoon. I generally don’t know the history. So, when a comic has a lot to do with all of the ups and downs of a team in the past, you’d think it’d be hard to get into. Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1 isn’t really that case.

Meghan Fitzmartin keeps Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1 pretty simple. With the heroes gone, Young Justice is back together to mourn the “loss” of their mentors and friends. The team hasn’t been one for quite a while and Fitzmartin does a good job of delivering the basics as to what has happened to them through the years. For those new to the team and coming into it as an event tie-in, you’ll get what you need to know.

Where the comic does really well is where it goes from the drama. The men of the team, Connor, Bart, and Tim, are whisked away into what seems like the past. How? Why? Who knows!? That’s the gist of the comic as Cassie takes it upon herself to find her missing friends who everyone else thinks have gone off to mourn on their own. It’s a simple mystery and one that left me scratching my head enough to want to know what’s going on.

The art by Laura Braga is good. With color by Luis Guerrero and Pat Brosseau the characters look like themselves and there’s a lot of characters packed in at times. When the eventually battle happens, there’s some rather humorous placement and visual jokes as well. But, Braga’s style isn’t one I totally go for. It’s good and works but also not one that gets me really excited. There’s times, but this is one where it’s perfectly fine visually.

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1 is a perfectly fine offshoot of the event that has some interesting moments. The reaction of the older heroes has a lot of potential and says so much about how this group is seen. There’s definitely something here but overall this might be for folks who are fans of the characters.

Crises have always had devastating impacts on the generation of heroes that make up Young Justice, and Dark Crisis will hit them even harder. Tim Drake, Impulse, and Superboy go missing during the Justice League’s funeral. The only person concerned enough to find them? Cassie Sandsmark, a.k.a Wonder Girl. But…the three boys of Young Justice aren’t on this Earth anymore…they’re on the world of their dreams, one they may never want to leave!
