Just re-read this issue as a free digital download. Lots of fun.

This is one of the problems I have with David’s writing, honestly. The constant wink is gross.

It was awesome.

Impulse FLASH!

Those are some muscular 15-16 year olds.

Stephane: Yeah. Nauck’s not a terrible storyteller, but his drafting is gross.

They sleep in their costumes? Seriously? On a camping trip?!

To Joe rice
I agree, a little would go a long way but he goes overboard.
In the robin panel did we really need to heard about a beard to get the joke? too much

loved batman making a crack about aquaman growing a beard after losing his hand to robin. plus always loved impulse going impulse crush puny humans. nice pick

This just reminds me how much I miss Peter David’s Supergirl.

Keep going through Peter David’s Young Justice; it’s full of meta-messages. One in particular that comes to mind is a scene where Impulse and Superboy are complaining about how their favorite comics titles always get cancelled (shortly after the cancellation of both SUPERBOY and IMPULSE); Robin walks in (his series was still going strong) and they give him pointed looks …

Man, I really loved this book when I was younger – I was 14 when #1 came out. A few friends and I would walk to the comic shop near my high school pretty often to buy issues of this and the other DC teen hero books. I’ve got fond memories of Impulse, Robin, Wonder Girl and Superboy as they were then.

For whatever flaws it had, “Young Justice” was a lot of fun, great for younger readers, and I wish we had more superhero comics like it now.

Thanks for the slice of nostalgia.

I’m sorry, if you don’t like the original Young Justice, you just don’t like fun period (just like TPTB at DC).

Or your idea of fun doesn’t involve smug punsters and inside joke boredom accompanied by ugly art. I love me some fun comics, but Young Justice always made me roll my eyes.

Peter David is just not funny. Not at all. Not even a little.

@Collected Editions:
He already did that one. It’s #18 on the list.

I’m sorry, but if you don’t like what I like, then you just don’t like fun!

I love YJ, full of jokes and metamessages. Nauck art gets more cartoony but more fitting for the product.

I thought I liked fun, but clearly I was mistaken. I like jokey comics, and I like some Peter David stuff, but I’m just not interested in these characters and could never sustain any interest in this series. What we learn from this is that I hate young people. (Although I do like Runaways and Avengers Academy, which may complicate matters.)

I like an inside joke, but not one that lasts five pages and doesn’t actually mean anything other than to reference the writer’s other work.

This comments section does a pretty good job of demonstrating that humour is subjective, huh?

Yup. I enjoy Peter David, enjoyed Young Justice, and wish there were more of them collected.

I enjoy Peter, but not David.

The t.v. show on Cartoon Network is way better than that comic! It is like a huge disgrace for this guy to mess up these somewhat cool characters.

Really… an earing … on Super Boy… what kind of world do we live in… the 90′s… REALLY!!

jesus, he was created in the 90s.
good book. good characters. pipe down.
