Review: Young Justice Issue 1 by Bendis, Gleason & Sanchez

Last year at Wondercon Anaheim DC comics shared info about various new initiatives , one of them was Wonder Comics a series of books targeting young readers. Comic book  companies have tried to crack the code to young comic readers hearts and this book has all the hallmarks that will engage new readers and existing fans. There isn't a direct correlation to the new Young Justice series on the DC Universe streaming service but it does feature some recognizable characters that have graced the show and some interesting new ones (new to me like Jinny Hex). The main link to this initial story is to Princess Amethyst, and Gemworld  which is discovering that the actions on Earth are directly linked to problems in their world. So of course they plan some aggressive negotiations in Metropolis. This attack forges a new team of young heroes together and kicks off this stellar new series.  I enjoyed this book so much! It was fun, has a very diverse cast of heroes and Impulse who is such a fun sweet addition to this book and who else would take the time to rescue turtles and snakes during a superhero attack?! The art is so fantastic, beautiful splash pages and panels full of kinetic energy. This is also a book that really showcases how much lettering adds to the comic reading experience.  I'm so excited to see how this book unfolds.
