Young Justice #2

[arbre_rieur]

The folks behind Young Justice have stated that they're working to make the tie-in comic a companion piece that will supplement the TV show, not just a monthly exercise in filler material, and the final line of dialogue this issue makes that evident.



This issue takes place shortly after the pilot two-parter, during Superboy's first night at Mount Justice.



Superboy, eventually realizing there's something odd about everything going on, decides to test a theory.



The teleporter system normally announces the identity of anyone who enters it (as we've seen multiple times in the show, e.g. "Superboy, B-Zero-Four" -- and bonus trivia: according to the creators, the voice is supposed to be Catherine Cobert, from the JLI days). The fact that it doesn't announce Aquaman is the evidence Superboy needs that none of these people are real.





The little guy was picking up on psychic residue left in the cave from a traumatic past event.

Aw, cute story. The "Superboy hates monkeys" running gag is probably my favorite/the only one I like from the show. The only running gag that irks me is "Hello Megan", and I'm getting used to that.

I hope the Gene-Gnome with a crush makes it to the show proper.

i was kinda hoping it could stay around as a pet, but I remembered from the last episode that that sphere thing is Superboy's new friend/pet. :D

At some point they need a "Hello Megan! I shouldn't say Hello Megan!" line.

Or you could have Bizarro show up. "GOODBYE NOT-MEGAN"
