Young Justice, Season 1, Volume 1

The idea of adding life to a long running comic book series by showing the heroes as they were when they were young has been done before, and not always in a good way. This Warner Brothers Animation series takes a slightly different tact by giving us the young proteges of the established Justice League heroes and infusing them with personalities that aren’t just carbon copies of the older super mentors. Sure, there’s a lot of teenage angst to be explored, but that isn’t the only thing these young heroes have to deal with. There’s plenty of action in each episode, and a surprising amount of humor, too. The art work is impressive as well.
