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.

Black Adam #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Aquaman and The Flash: Voidsong #1 (DC Comics) – The two heroes team up and must save the world. It’s two personalities that definitely feel like they don’t go together so this miniseries could be entertaining just due to that.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #4 (DC Comics) – Just a fun series overall with great art.

Beware the Eye of Odin #1 (Image Comics) – The second story dealing with the eye of Odin in recent months, we’re intrigued to see how this one plays out and how the two differ.

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1 (DC Comics) – The event so far has been ok, but we want to see how it builds and where it goes.

I Hate This Place #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue had a nice X-Files weirdness about it. There’s a lot to take in and where it’s going, we have no idea.

Kaiju Score: Steal from the Gods #3 (AfterShock) – The heist mash-up series has been fun with every issue delivering action, humor, and solid style.

Killer: Affairs of State #5 (BOOM! Studios) – The series constantly entertains, makes you think, all wrapped up in a hint of cool.

Milestones in History #1 (DC Comics) – Milestone focuses on some of the Black trailblazers from across history!

New Fantastic Four #1 (Marvel) – Travel back in Marvel history to a rather different Fantastic Four.

Punisher War Journal Blitz #1 (Marvel) – Check out Frank’s missions the main series doesn’t have enough time to tell.

Space Story (West Margin Press) – Three interwormen stories about a family separated when the planet becomes uninhabitable by humans.

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen’s Boss Perry White (DC Comics) – The title alone.
