Review by Philip Clark
We’re back again! Young Justice #14 brings us even more chaos and characters added to the roster. Impulse has found even more heroes to join the team! While Bart is on roundup duty, the rest of the gang are trying to figure out a way into a super secret S.T.A.R Labs complex run by Dr Glory. Then there’s Superboy! Who’s stranded on a mystical planet… again.
So, there’s a lot going on in the pages of this comic book. But hey, it’s my job to digest it down and give you lovely folks a reason why to read it.

Superboy Goes To Hell

Man, Conner just can’t catch a break! First he’s stranded on Gemworld, then almost hours after getting back together with his friends and escaping back to Earth he’s stranded again! This time however, Dr Glory has done her research. She sends him to Skartaris, a world filled with magic, and now Kryptonite weaponry?! Oh, that’s right, amongst everything else, Dr Glory is now also an inter-dimensional arms dealer.
Luckily, Superboy has a friend on Skartaris who goes by the name of Warlord.

We Got This!

I really love seeing a great team come together, and let me tell you, there is no greater team than that of Young Justice. The artwork this issue is back to its wonderful glory! Even the “cartoon networky” art of Skartaris wasn’t as jarring this issue. The artwork only enhanced the writing of Bendis and Walker, who really bring the heroes alive!
They got this!

Conclusion

This is a fantastic issue of Young Justice. I honestly love everything Brian Michael Bendis does when he writes about young heroes, especially a team of them! I mean, what he’s building Young Justice into is literally a teenage Justice League. The roster alone is fast approaching that of League size and power levels!
Young Justice #14 is another brilliant, must read issue for all fans of the series!

If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses.

Speaking of bringing us into the game space, Adam, the talented DM sets the scene for the story very nicely.

Martin Presents: Wild Cards: Now And Then” Writer: Carrie Vaughn Artist: Renae De Liz Inker and Color Artist: Ray Dillon Book Designer and Letterer: Thomas Napolitano Wild Cards: The Drawing of Cards  excerpt written by Paul Cornell, penciled by Mike Hawthorne and Enid Balám, inked by Adriano De Benedetto and Lee Townsend, colored by Ruth Redmond, and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit Published by Bantam Books and Available from Penguin Random House Review by Steve J. Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R. Martin, the man behind the now legendary  Game Of Thrones  TV show, and the books that inspired them. This alone makes this book intriguing, but the writing, art, colors, design, and lettering by the amazing creative team would still make this volume an essential purchase, whether Martin’s name appeared on the cover, or not. I’ve not played the game, or read any of the thirty-plus W
