I actually liked this more than the first volume! I think the kids have a lot of heart, and their ragtag haphazard stories are growing on me. It also makes it a lot easier to digest when totally new characters are thrown in the mix every other page.
Loved the trip into the multiverse!!!
Young Justice is still a reasonably fun read, but it’s one that shows some of Bendis’s weaker sides as a writer — the book is absolutely stuffed with double page spreads filled with tons and tons of dialogue, and coupled with extremely decompressed storytelling and lack of a clear plot it just feels exhausting, even when reading monthly. I’m switching to trade-waiting on this book from this point hoping that reading it in more concentrated chunks would improve the reading experience, because I s...
Good art, fun story, bit of mystery. New legacy characters (I like legacy heroes and villains). My only gripe is with Bendis' dialogue. Maybe he should have written out one more draft of each of his scripts...
I found it too dialgoue heavy which is when i feel bendis over does it. Plus it felt like the YA vibe was stronger in this volume
Wow! This is even more of a frenetic mess than the first. When the group is not skipping around the multiverse -- (view spoiler)[Captain Carrot, Kingdom Come, Earth-3 (hide spoiler)] -- the story stops to offer some dull origins for Teen Lantern and Jinny Hex and an even duller new codename for Tim Drake, the artist formerly know as Robin and Red Robin. The ending sets up a crossover for all the Wonder Comics titles but I'm hard pressed to find any enthusiasm for a return visit to this series.
Getting good! The team is starting to acknowledge itself as an actual team and not just a bunch of characters thrown together.
This book is just so much damn fun. Young Justice goes galavanting across the multiverse. I like that Bendis decides to revisit some old dimensions of the DC Universe like Earth-3 and Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew's earth. We finally get some back story on Teen Lantern and Jinny Hex. The one thing that I found a bit unnecessary was Red Robin's shift to Drake. I know Bendis thinks that's clever but it probably doesn't do much for your secret identity when you are running around with your last n...
My favorite character in Young Justice is Amethyst. But now that the heroes have escaped Gemworld, she gets next to nothing to do here. I'm looking forward to her solo series by Amy Reeder. Second favorite characters are Jinny Hex and Teen Lantern, who get sort-of origin stories told via flashback. Those are the things I liked.What I didn't like is the plotless writing, which is more interested in peppy, broken dialogue than telling a fresh, epic story. For a 5 or 6 part saga that hits 3 differe...
I adore Young Justice. This being said, I had a little trouble following this storyline... I mean, if there was really a storyline here. It bounced from one side to the other without a real focus or direction. The origin stories for Teen Lantern and Jinny Hex were the only few things that were consistent enough. I think Bendis is getting a bit overwhelmed writing everything at DC Comics these days.Anyway. The art by John Timms was spectacular and it made the story enjoyable.Read in single issues...
I absolutely adore this series. I love the team dynamic and how the characters genuinely like working together and work well together. I enjoy the writing style as well as the art. Especially with the fact that the art style changed with the new characters' (Keli and Jinny) origin stories. I do wish I read the Naomi limited series before this so I could know a bit more about her in advance but I still loved her introduction and getting to know her all the same. Highly enjoyed and am definitely p...
Young Justice: Lost in the Multiverse picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next six issues (Young Justice #7–12) of the 2019 on-going series and collects one stories: "Lost in the Multiverse"."Lost in the Multiverse" is a five-issue storyline with a finale (Young Justice #7–12) has the Young Justice team being lost in the multiverse. They venture into a handful of worlds, like Earth 22, 26, and Earth 42. However the main focus of the storyline focuses on Earth 3 and the po...
No. Bad Bendis. Bad. Put the team down. Leave them alone. Why won't you listen to me?Brian Bendis throws the Young Justice team, who still haven't had time to properly interact, introduce their new members, or even have a proper storyline, into another six issue screwfest as they pinball around the Multiverse facing off against dark copies of themselves among other things. There are good ideas in here - a Crime Syndicate version of Young Justice has a lot of potential, but when there's nothing a...
Loved the first half, last two issues were decent. Bendis decides to have our heroes go on a fun multiverse trip. This leads them into some interesting worlds, one with talking bunny superheroes and such. But we also have a nice trip to earth 3 (The evil earth) and get to see our heroes face up against their evil counterpart. On top of that we finally might be getting home but is home really where the heroes are meant to be? The first half is fun and exciting. I loved their interactions, especia...
I'm exhausted after reading Lost in the Multiverse, which is both a good and bad thing. Did I have fun? Yes! The quips run hot and the characters and art are a blast. Was it all-together too much muchness? Yes! The gang blasts through at least three settings before returning to Earth and expanding their roster via the other Wonder Comics heroes.There's a bit too much of Brian Michael Bendis' signature quirks, like walls of text on multi-page spreads or characters who can't seem to stop stammerin...
This volume has a great premise: Young Justice bounces around the universe. But pretty much nothing holds up .to that premise.First, the bouncing about the multiverse is both plotless (and pointless) and superficial. Even when we spend some time on Earth-22 (Kingdom Come) and Earth-3 (Evil Earth), nothing interesting comes out of it. Second, upon returning to Earth, Bendis makes a rather abrupt turn to make this comic about Wonder Comics rather than the past and present Young Justice. So, Dial H...
Lost in the Multiverse finds the Young Justice team trying to get home if home even exists as they journey through various DC universes.This is a fun book, particularly in the first couple of issues as they visit some familiar (for old fans) universes. The book does do quite a bit of character stuff and eventually brings all the Wonder Comics characters together at the end, while leaving a big cliffhanger and many questions for the future.While it's a bit padded at times, this is still a really
I have a love/hate relationship with Bendis. He’s written some undeniably brilliant comics over the years (and continues to - see his latest Jinxworld stuff) but some of his worst books suffer from word diarrhea, and nowhere is it more evident than in his superhero team books. His Avengers was basically them sitting around drinking coffee and “bantering” (ie. a meaningless blur of contemporary - now outdated - references and unfunny jokes). Same thing with his All-New X-Men, which was overloaded...
I like the dynamics here. I like Robin and Bart and Keli a lot. But a lot of this feels unimpactful and that name-change felt weird and useless. Also they weirdly drop into another adventure moments after finishing one which after 12 issues just felt implausible. The art is okay but I'll be honest I'm kinda tired of the double spreads and all. This is not getting 1 star because of how fun Bart is and because of Keli and Jinny's backstory.
Read the individual issues. Man, Bendis is crushing this book. It is so much fun with a lot of really cool characters. Definitely continuing to read this.
