Since it's one of the titles to survive the DC New U I thought I might as well include it in my blog. It's not that far in so I'll just reread them and bring it up to date until I get the next issue.
So... #0 was incredibly hard to find. The series hasn't even aired in Canada yet so I only found out the comics existed by reading a comment on YouTube.
Young Justice is set on Earth-16 where superheroes have only been active for about 5 years (what the New U is starting too). The first episode of the series has the first sidekicks form a team: Robin, Aqualad, Speedy and Kid Flash. Except Speedy doesn't like being called a sidekick so he quits before the other three break into Cadmus and find a clone of Superman (looking 16 years old). This issue picks up form the moment that they are found by their mentors and declare themselves a team.
Most of the issue focus on what Superboy and Kid Flash did in the three days that Batman was pondering their fates. Wally has invited Superboy home because there was nowhere else for him to go but he's done it in a big-hearted way. Of course, being superheroes and teenagers they're not going to stay out of trouble and manage to wreak a good portion of Central City's mall just getting Superboy some new clothes.
Things I liked: slipped right into the series. The episodes are all time-stamped so this is an opportunity to fill in gaps that make for an interesting read but not necessarily a good watch.
Things I didn't like: Superboy and Kid Flash are not my favourite pairing. Superboy is just too one dimensional for me to really get behind him. I hope that changes as he's exposed to more normal things.
