Book 2 as a whole is where Young Justice begins to get its footing.

The story starts off simple enough. The young justice work together to take down underground evil bad guys with the help of Supergirl (Another series Peter David was writing at the time) This turns out some great scenes and funny moments. Then we have a dark story where Arrowlette losses someone close to her. It's both sad and also kind of a nice message on gun control even back then. We also get a story with Red Tornado's kid and wife and it's pretty strong as well to show a more human side to the mentor of the Young Justice. Last we have the team working together to rescue Secret.

Lots of moving pieces here and mostly they all work. The team dynamic is great. The art is bombastic and fun. The humor works for the most part. The serious moments strike hard because they come out of nowhere. I also think the ending leaves a nice little cliffhanger for us. The crossover stuff with supergirl was okay and the "old Justice" team is kind of lame. But overall, this is a solid fun collection of late 90's galore of comics. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4.
