3.0

I need to start with this:
Dear Brian Michael Bendis,
I'm sorry for prematurely hating you because everyone said it was your fault Super Sons was cancelled. I guess you kinda know what you're doing.
From one of your newest fans (I gueeeesss),
Kadi.

This was an interesting start to bringing YJ back. I would actually give this 3.5 stars. Not 4. I have too many questions. Who are these Gemworld people? Who is Jinny Hex? Why was Cassie reluctant to get involved? What was Tim doing in Metropolis? What on earth happened at the end?
Was Tim transported somewhere? Who is Amethyst? How did Conner grow older?


This has so much promise but not much happened in this issue. A summary:
some aliens came to Earth, started fighting, demanded Superman and after he wouldn't show and all our young heroes fought them they left.
That's it. So I think this is really just a precursor to what is to come. Kinda like a Rebirth issue is meant to reintroduce the characters to the readers. There were lots of things going on in this issue, lots of characters being introduced, but nothing was being explained. I'm assuming explanations will be coming later...

Impulse was great! Such a fun character who was constantly making inside jokes and just being his crazy impulsive self. I liked seeing Tim and Cassie's dynamic it was pretty interesting. Teen Lantern is the real mystery. Never heard of this character before so I'm hoping they flesh her out properly. Oh, and of course, the art was beautiful. So great. I love Gleason's work. Epic every time.

And I'm just going to leave this here because this was basically me when I heard YJ was coming back:
