Young Justice: Invasion – Volume One TP Writers: Greg Weisman Artists: Christopher Jones Collects:Young Justice #20-25 $12.99 US, 160 pg
With Volumes 1-3 the collected tie-in comic for the Young Justice animated TV series in print, I had been hoping for some news on a Young Justice: Volume 4, but it seems instead that the last 6 issues will be collected as Young Justice Invasion: Volume 2. It’s funny that they went that way – when we were talking about the comic making the jump to the timeframe from Season 2 of the show, there was talk of rebranding the comic as Young Justice: Invasion and getting a new #1 issue. But that didn’t happen – they just continued on with the existing title and numbering, just designating the “Invasion” storyline with a subtitle and numbering it as 1-6 of 6. I guess someone decided that Young Justice: Invasion Volume 1 was more marketable than Young Justice: Volume 4. Fair enough.

Young Justice #25
This was a fun run of issues to work on. Catching up with Season 2 of the show meant Dick Grayson as Nightwing and an influx of new characters such as Batgirl, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, and Lagoon Boy. Plus, our big Invasion storyline featured a trio of villains I got to design for Young Justice continuity – Brainiac, Kylstar and Deadshot. Plus the mutation of Match into our version of Bizarro.This was easily the most epic storyline we ever tackled in the comic, and I’m so excited to finally have it collected into a squarebound edition!
The book won’t be out until December. I’m not sure why there’s such a delay, but better late than never! Young Justice recently aired its final episode earlier this month on Cartoon Network. The series is set to remain in reruns for at least a couple more weeks before being shuffled out of the DC Nation programming block. A lot of people are looking for ways to show their support for the Young Justice series right now, and pre-ordering this would definitely be one way to do so! Or, you could just pick it up when it comes out because it’ll be a good read!
Until then, Volumes 1-3 of the COLLECTED Young Justice are available NOW! Look for them at your local comic shop or bookstore, or order a copy online!

The latest issue of Young Justice jumps five years ahead to mirror the hit animated series Young Justice: Invasion, and aliens have invaded earth! Meanwhile, Devastation, an escaped felon and known operative of Queen Bee, is on the loose in Metropolis. But why is she here, and what does she want? And the Young Justice team is about to recruit a new member … but will he be a good match?

• The Invasion continues! • Earth’s greatest heroes are kidnapped by Kylstar! • Brainiac has Metropolis under glass and Lex Luthor’s secret weapon is on the loose!
