Young Justice #12


   You know that scene in the movie Avengers: Endgame when all the heroes gather together?

   This issue of Young Justice is sorta the equivalent of that (for DC, natch) - except there's very little actual fighting on display here.

   What you get is a gathering of almost all the young heroes who made up the original team, the new team members, and guest appearances by all the other young heroes featured in the Wonder Comics line of DC Comics.

   It's fun, and gives writer Brian Michael Bendis lots of opportunities for entertaining dialogue (which is his beat, after all).

   But on the other hand, not much actually happens - the issue is packed with guest appearances, 'meet cute' scenes and a surprising new place for Superboy to visit, and one of my all-time favorite characters - sadly absent for far too long - makes a return appearance.

   So I really enjoyed this issue, even if you need a scorecard to keep everyone straight. It's fun!
