Young Injustice
The Good: With the subplot resolved, we still get a great continuation of the school plot, and the little bits and pieces of story come to a head with this issue. What appeared to be a more episodic series with a storyline subplot, was actually an excellently subtle arc, and things are becoming clearer in this issue as to where this first arc is leading.
The style of the comics Kid Nefarious is reading have a fantastic aged look to the artwork, the art itself is the same style, but it's given a bleached yellow to show age.
We're starting to get a better sense of how the two plot lines blend together. We get more information about the world this series takes place in, and how the characters fit into it.
The whole team is really coming together, we're seeing how their personalities mix together well and drive the group as a whole. It's an interesting pacing, as we've spent most of 4 issues building the world, and now we're really getting to see the characters. They're just such a delight to watch interacting as a team.
Their plan is absolutely huge and ambitious. In a way, it does feel like something totally natural for kids their age, who live within the world they do. All kids want to get together and be a real superhero team. These are villains kids. They want to beat the big bad hero and avenge their parent's humiliation. They're kids, honor is the most important thing in the world. It all makes so much sense it's almost hilarious.
The Bad: I gotta say, overall this cover is really nice; it's got a nice layout with a fantastic balance, and it does represent some of the actual events; but I have the same complaint about that I did the last cover. Kid Nefarious should've been the one to get a big solo cover first. Granted, he had more focus on the first cover, but still. Martian Jones and now the Skull Brothers? It just seems weird.
In Conclusion: 4.5/5
This is such a fun damn series. It's very well written, and extremely entertaining. After a lot of very loose setup (Which was still very good!) this series has finally hit its actual momentum, and what great momentum this is! A story is developing here, and its leading some awesome places. If you're not reading Gladstone's School For World Conquerors, SHAME ON YOU.
