This book works as its own thing, and also as a spoof of Johns' Justice League opening story.

But yeah, lots of fun. Cassie and Tim 100% know each other, and she's still Zeus's granddaughter. Bart also knows Tim and Cassie. But maybe most surprising is that Tim seems to know Conner, and, along with Bart, acknowledges Young Justice as something that used to be a thing.

Looks like the seven crisis are actually going to be a plot point. Bendis retweeted review that speculated that the seven were COIE, Zero Hour, IC, Final Crisis, Flashpoint, Multiversity, and Metal.

Superman was an EXTREMELY strong presence in this book. I honestly think the word Superman was said more times in this book than both of his actual books combined. It's actually kind of cool the way they talk about him. Cassie even moved to Metropolis because it's a common thing to do in the DCU if you want less stress in your life, because he's always looking out for you. That's nice bit of texture. Bendis even continues his gag with the two ladies from Action 1000.

Repeating myself:

You people wanted Young Justice back?

Well, you will get it... just in an almost non-existent plot and an opening that just revolves around the idea of how much people wanted Young Justice back.

The characters simply appear out of nowhere without much rhyme or reason which I suppose is good for the sake of fanservice but it lets too many questions unanswered about previous incarnations and interpretations that it simply doesn't work well as a first issue.

The art was pretty at the very least.

Is a beginning I guess, just not a truly satisfying one.

This was a great read. I am loving jinny hex. Everyone seems to know everyone else. I loved the whole highschool Réunion vibe with cassie, tim, bart and conner. I wonder superman will make an appearance. Where was he flying of to at the start anyway. I hope the reason is explained and good.That beard did not go with that look for kon

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me that Tim knows Bart, Cassie yes. New 52 Tim has supposedly never been Robin only Red Robin, what happened to that plot point? Looking forward to seeing how Conner and Bart know each other, in addition to why Conner is back in the original Super Boy outfit with Jacket, instead of t-shirt and jeans.

Knowing Bendis, he basically rectoned everything so they would know each other.

Actually, Tim was given back his pre-Flashpoint origin in Detective Comics Rebirth. It was when he ran into his older self from the future. So, that's one thing Bendis didn't do.

What's happened to Stephanie? At the conclusion of 'Tec Rebirth, she was travelling with Tim.

Probably sent off to fight a war, aged up several years, and came back a war veteran after fighting alongside her criminal father the whole time...

So, I don't know, and I doubt Bendis really cares. He did, after all, randomly bring Jor-El back when the last time he was seen, he turned into space dust and had been the brains behind a lot of terrorist actions the world over.

Dude, I feel you. But this thread is not for that. People(me included) have been waiting for the return of young justice and Conner. From what I know Tim went to college. Unless his university is in Metropolis. He should not be there at all

Tim's time as Robin was reinstated after his original origin "A lonely Place of Dying" was made cannon again. Happened in Detective comics about a year and a half ago.

This isn't the new 52.

**superduperman** · 01-09-2019, 02:46 PM

So the whole storyline where he meets his older self and never heard of Conner never happened? I don't read the Bat-books so I don't know what happened there. I just know that he told his older self that he never heard of Conner.

**Sacred Knight** · 01-09-2019, 02:51 PM

That would be my only characterization gripe. I'm more than willing to buy that simply between then and now, Tim's memories of Conner began to return as Dr. Manhattan's changes continue to weaken. But it would be a huge missed opportunity to not see that recollection. Just jumping in to Tim knowing him again is a letdown after such a big deal was made over him not remembering.

**ZeroBG82** · 01-09-2019, 06:00 PM

Loved this. So much fun. And not a grim or a dark in sight. Best Bendis issue I've read in a really long time.

Impulse stole the issue for me, but man is it nice to have the band back together (mostly).

**Vordan** · 01-09-2019, 06:07 PM

I liked it. Honestly I simply don’t care about going through all the trouble of trying to reconcile the YJ gen’s New 52 history with the characters as we know them. I utterly loathe what happened with Tim, Cassie, and Kon during that time period and if Bendis wants to just ignore it, I’m all for it. I’m so happy Gleason is on art, he’s so damn good. Kon’s 90s outfit has never looked so good. Cassie and Tim also look great. Bart feels like his good old self again.

As a first issue I enjoyed it. Will Bendis keep it up? We’ll see but for now I’m happy.
