This was always part of what made the series enjoyable as a contrasting title to the more serious New Teen Titans, but I challenge anybody to not feel something when Cassandra (Wonder Girl) becomes friends with Secret, or when Robin and Superboy crack terrible, meta jokes to the pop-culture trends of the day.īy no means are some of the more ridiculous aspects of the comic wiped away (save for those who has nostalgia from having read the series when it was released), but there is something important about friendship as a key comic theme when it supersedes combat-driven action.ĭepending on how long you’ve been reading comics, it might seem strange to some readers that many of the “sidekick” characters who have populated DC Comics brands were, once upon a time, not always depicted together, let alone having lives outside of their mentors. The comics industry in the 90s was a time when artistic trends were pushing barriers into new styles and stories, and it cannot be said that Young Justice holds up in terms of quality, but does that mean the comic is bad?įar from it! In fact, having gone through multiple issues to prep for this article, I am struck by how much emphasis is placed on the foundational Young Justice characters acting like young kids and teens.
