Summary: Without Arrowette, it's a little disappointing
Review: Although this book was enjoyable, the abscence of my favorite character Arrowette (the girl archer) kept it from being an excellent graphic novel. It would have been great to have seen her as an adult. Her and Robin bring a little reality to these comics because they could exist in real life although such a pretty girl would probably want to be a supermodel instead. She is in the A League Of Their Own graphic novel which was a little better but just like this one they have to use a goofy artist in one of their stories which really looks odd compared to the majority of their art. Gen 13 also had this problem from time to time. Please stick with the original and best artists please.

Summary: Without Arrowette, it's a little disappointing
Review: In a nutshell the basis for this book is as follows. Adults around the world are getting nervous about the Young Justice team and all other teen heroes. The world media, possibly being encouraged by some person or persons unknown, is making this worse by hyping the image of immature kids with a lot of power. Everybody's got an opinion and as things heat up a mix of magic and technology turns most of the adult heroes into kids and all the kids into adults. Everyone splits up into teams to try to find a way to reverse the mess, all the while the unknown factor behind the media is getting closer to their ultimate goal.

The concept is lighthearted and fun, but combining the stories from various titles meant that while some writing was good, a lot of the writing was rather weak. Overall the different writing and artistic styles made the book feel choppy, and not as though the stories belonged together. I don't regret buying it, but I was disappointed.

Try A League of Their Own (Young Justice) by Peter David and D. Curtis Johnson for a good Young Justice book.

Summary: A Reversal of Fortune
Review: Personally I really enjoyed this book and the series it comes from the light hearted escapades of the group of youthful heroes--in-training turned adults is both humorous and engrossing. A generally fun read all around. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: Light-hearted reading with an edge
Review: This book is basically about the young teen heroes of the DCU trying to fight crime in an adult world. Robin and Inpulse are among the heroes who appear in this book which actually has pretty weak artwork and a story plot that is barely readable.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: An Excellent Read!
Review: This book is marvelous! It all starts when Klarion (bum, bum, BUM) the Witch Boy plays a prank on the amassed groups of the Justice League of America, the Justice Society of America, the Teen Titans, several non-affiliated heroes, and, of course, Young Justice. In essence, the age levels of the groups are switched. The Justice Society of America all become near-infants (except for Star, who becomes an adult), the Justice LEAGUE of America all get reverted back to a teen-level, and of course, Young Justice, as well as Lagoon-boy, and Anarchy, are matured into adults. The first thing on everyone's mind is to revert back to their original ages. They all separate into groups to track down what each one thinks will be the cure to their unfortunate condition. The fairly cool part is that each (matured) Young Justice member pairs up with their (former) mentor (now teens). Even Secret pairs up with the enigmatic Deadman to track down Teekl, Klarion's cat-familiar. All in all, this is an AWESOME book.
There's just one thing that upsets me. Like its predecessor, This book glosses over several issues. As much as I would like to know what happens between the first book and this one, at least I can take comfort in knowing that there are no continuity gaps WITHIN the book. By the way, do you know that in this book, Arrowette is not part of the team anymore? I barely managed to discern the reason WHY from the lean background information given in this book. Other than that? NOTHING! This book is stupendous from cover to cover. Anyone who enjoys Marvel's Generation-X, the original Teen-Titans, or just loves a good laugh (especially with some of the teen-Superman scenes) should BUY THIS BOOK!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Silly and non-readable
Review: This is a silly book with too cartoonish artwork. I don;t think even kids would bother with this book.
