Young Justice Vol. 3: Creature Features by Greg Weisman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects Issues 14-19 of the Young Justice Comic book based on the popular Cartoon Network series and contains three separate two issue stories:

Issues 14 and 15 feature Aqualad, Superboy, and Miss Martian going to Atlantis where they encounter an undersea coup. This is a fun story made even moreso by Miss Martian who has some very fun moments in Atlantis particularly using her shape-changing ability.

Issues 16 and 17 catch up on what the rest of the team was doing. The idea behind Issue 16 is to show Robin, Artemis, and Kid Flash doing sidekick duties. in separate stories that do eventually come together. The book was too short to make the separate stories interesting and the coming together story was only so so.

Issues 18 and 19 has the team facing gorillas and encountering Grodd for the first time. Again, Miss Martain was a highlight and I really enjoyed their different spin on Grodd as the book sets up some key differences between the world of the Young Justice comics and the rest of the DC universe.

Overall, despite a weaker middle story, this book is a well-written all ages comic book and enjoyable in its own right even without seeing all the episodes the book revolves around.
