Review: Young Justice #20 – Final Issue

"Final Justice"

Writers: Brian Michael Bendis & David Walker
Artist: Scott Godlewski
Colour Artist: Gabe Eltaeb
Letterer: Wes Abbott
Review By Philip Clark

Action and heart, that’s what’s always been at the core of this series, and Young Justice #20 is no different. With the group finally becoming a cohesive team, they obviously need a base of operations. However, an HQ for a Justice League team comes with it’s own set of problems… as our young heroes are going to find out!

Universes Collide!

For those that have watched the Young Justice TV show, this particular issue’s going to hold something special for you. For those that haven’t, this is still a fantastic read. I don’t want to give away the surprise, but this issue’s very reminiscent of an episode of the Young Justice show. Those that are currently wondering what I’m talking about, fear not! There is still plenty in this issue for you to get your teeth into.

I hope that we get to see more of the young heroes, especially the newer ones, taken under the wing of the more experienced heroes. Bendis and Walker have done a beautiful job at weaving intricate stories that leave us wanting more. That being said, the story’s only half of the comic. Honestly without Godlewski and Eltaeb working in their fantastic artistry, the book wouldn’t hold half as much weight as it does. I mean, just look at the rip in Teen Lantern’s mask, and the expression in her eye just underneath. Simply wonderful.

Conclusion

Teen Lantern’s story is brought to the forefront, and she really takes centre stage in this issue! The interactions between the team are, as always, spectacular. The group’s as quippy as always and they really show the family feeling they’ve always had. All round Young Justice #20 was one of, if not, the best issue of this title in quite some time. I’m really going to miss this series.

Image
Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together! The intro to each episode is cleverly crafted, with the players and DM each sounding off a sentence to bring us into the game space. Speaking of bringing us into the game space, Adam, the talented DM sets the scene for the story very nicely.

Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti...

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
