Young Justice: Targets #1 Review

 

Written by: Greg Weisman

Release Date: June 14, 2022

Price: $1.99 or DC Universe subscription

Reviewed by: Jon Wayne

I want to state this clear right off the bat: I am a devout fan of the Young Justice animated series, I loved the recently concluded fourth season “Phantoms,” and the finale was the most satisfying episode of television I’ve seen in a long time. However I am reviewing comics now and not watching episodes of television, so I will do my best to separate my inner fan from my reviews. That said, this comic really is for fans of the show. If you are coming into this series blind then the setup when our story picks up is unlikely to make a ton of sense.

Wonder Woman #788 Review

 

Writer: Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad

Artist: Emanuela Lupacchino

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: June 14, 2022

(This review is only for the main Wonder Woman story)

Wonder Woman isn't the worst book since Infinite Frontier began, but after a pretty good start, it has been a disappointment in both story and sales.  Unfortunately, it's not just this solo book that has failed to meet expectations.  The Trial of the Amazons event was awful and put a direct spotlight on the failings of the creative teams that continue to dig Diana and her Wonder Family a deeper hole to get out of.  Enough of that, though, since we are here to talk about the latest issue of Wonder Woman, and maybe this one will be good.  Fingers crossed...
