About the author

A comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.

Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.

Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.

Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.

Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.

Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.

He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

Reviews

[Chad · Rating 2 out of 5]

Eight pointless issues as this series goes nowhere. The back claims Earth shattering revelations for Conner Kent and Bart Allen. Instead we get a bunch of malarkey about other universes that only raises more questions without answering anything. Tim Drake's time as Drake mercifully ends shortly into this book. That's one of Bendis's all time worst ideas to have a superhero go by his last name as his superhero name. That's some secret identity you're trying to protect there Tim. Young Justice has turned into some of Bendis's worst writing in years. DC thankfully put the series out to pasture.

The first several issues tag team John Timms and Michael Avon Oeming on art. It couldn't be more jarring. Oeming does not belong in the normal DC universe. His art is terrible (in this. He's much more suited for books like Powers), especially when you're flipping back and forth between him and John Timms. Eventually Scott Godlewski comes in and rights the ship on art chores.

[Chris Lemmerman · Rating 2 out of 5]

And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Bendis throws Superboy into Skartaris, because he doesn't have anything better to do. STAR Labs are suddenly evil again, sure. And then there's some vague handwavey explanations about continuity that don't make any sense, Bart has a freak out, and we end on a series of one and done stories that don't wrap up anything at all and feel entirely throwaway.

This book has been directionless from the get-go. Bendis set out to explain why these characters are back together and how, and failed at that. We know next to nothing about Jinny Hex or Teen Lantern, and they're characters Bendis himself created to be in the book. Tim Drake changed costume and codename, but the fan backlash was so bad that it lasted all of about four issues (seriously, being poop brown and going by Drake when he has a secret identity is just bad on so many levels).

The only thing saving this from a dreaded 1 star rating is the fact that we actually got a consistent art team. Scott Godlewski pencils the final six issues with hardly any assistance, and there's only one example of Bendis throwing one of his artist friends a bone by giving Michael Oeming something to do during the Skartaris stuff, so Bendis reined himself in on that one as well.

I've never been so happy to see a book end, and given that this has so many characters in it that I love, that makes me feel really sad.

This tried its best to make do with the crummy situation Young Justice was forced into with the awfulness of the New 52. They tried to cover the concept of a "crisis" in as vague a manner as they could, especially in light of the fact continuity still hasn't been fully fixed since "Rebirth."

Still, it was nice to watch a team of young heroes show some camaraderie, and nice to watch Bart and Connor go through some existential crises. Spoiler and Wonder Girl both had nice rebelling-against-authority moments, and to a lesser extent so did Teen Lantern.

Some important questions were raised, but not resolved. At one point Superboy asked Bart where he lived, and whether he even had a home. Bart did not truly answer, and honestly, this deserves an answer. Bart then interacted with Barry Allen, who accepted his presence at face value, when really Bart is particularly impossible.

Barry Allen should not be back. I miss the status quo from the 90s and early 2000s where Barry Allen had seemingly "died" in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but actually had gone to live in the distant future, where he had twin children. Bart is his grandkid born in the future. With Barry Allen back and living in the present, Bart doesn't make any sense anymore. When is Barry going to travel into the distant future and raise his children? This volume made a big deal about how Superboy was born in a previous version of the universe and shouldn't exist anymore, but that origin is even more true for Bart, by my reckoning.

This was pleasant, but not the greatest book ever. And thank God Tim Drake is over his "Drake" phase. Phew.

[Christian Zamora-Dahmen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book seriously needed some direction at first. Even when this set got started with the remains of the Superboy arch, the whole thing was all over the place. But in the end it found a pace and started to bring in some interesting stories, not just chunks of it. And then it was over...
Bendis is one of those writers that can be real good, or just lead you nowhere. His creative mind is fantastic, but when they give him too much room, he just gets nowhere. And on the other side, when his work has to be limited to a certain set of issues, he does wonders. It wasn’t really a surprise that this book ended so nicely, when it took him ages to get anywhere. I guess the notice of the book getting cancelled finally forced him to focus.
It’s bitter-sweet, you know. Young Justice was finally becoming a series to look forward to, and then it was over.

[Jadyn❀ · Rating 3 out of 5]

*2.5* So, the last volume of Young Justice sees the full extended team assembled to get Conner back and fight Dr. Glory, then haphazardly wrap up the rest of the characters' individual conflicts that were established throughout the run. Everything but the mutiverse-hopping main plot surrounding Conner felt like an afterthought from the beginning, and knowing how long this run went on for, none of these conflicts were given the attention they deserved, as I expected. The main conflict takes forever to wrap up and spends time getting the whole gang together for a reason that I guess they properly justify, but I found it hard to care about a group of this size. You don't see enough of most of these characters to really learn much about them. You'll never see Sideways, Aqualad, or (most egregiously) Arrowette(!) in this series again after this issue, so enjoy them while they're here! Insane that nobody bothered to go re-recruit Empress.
We then have a little time to dwell on Conner and Bart both being universe-displaced. This explanation didn't really do it for me, or properly explain why some people remembered Young Justice while others didn't. I hear this was maybe answered elsewhere, but it should have been in this series, where, you know, it was a really significant part of the plot, introduced really early. At least this series is on board with the Bart-and-Conner-are-the-real-best-friends-around-here agenda.
As for the rest of the volume... Poor Cassie might get the worst of it, as an original Young Justice member. Never once did her issues with Zeus and becoming part of the pantheon seem urgent or all that justified in happening right now. The only sense we get of what she was doing before this was that she was fired from her job (which, her crying when she has to give in and do superheroics in volume one made it seem like she was giving up more than that). It's not even clear what that job is (if it was evident that this was a special job she had to put in a lot of effort to get, maybe I'd feel differently about it).
The Spoiler issue was unnecessary because, I'm sorry, I love Stephanie Brown, but she's never felt like a member of Young Justice, and she doesn't here either (as she points out more than once, it's Tim's team, not hers).
The final issue, which tries to wrap things up regarding Keli's hacked lantern-power tech, doesn't actually give any satisfying answers or move her story along at all. It's also sad that it returns to the original YJ base and features Red Tornado, just for it to be the end of the team and the last time we'll see them do anything significant for a long time.
This wasn't a bad volume, really. I wanted to love it so much, but it just left me kind of unsatisfied and indifferent.

[Shannon Appelcline · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is probably the best volume of the new Young Justice. (So it's a shame to see it cancelled.)

Oh, Bendis makes the cast too big, and this means previously great characters like Jinny get very little attention. But there are some great issues with Conner in Skartaris and a nice team-up between Tim and Spoiler. And a mish-mash of an attempt to explain why the missing YJ members have returned to post-FP reality. (And boy is that continuity more of a mess than ever, especially the part where Superman doesn't remember Conner, despite the fact that he's supposed to be Pre+Post-FP Clark.)

Anyway, this rates perhaps 3.5 stars, but I've rounded up for the nostalgia factor.

[Guilherme Smee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nossa, quase trezentas páginas da enrolação no melhor (ou pior) estilo Brian Michael Bendis. Trazer a Justiça Jovem de volta aos holofotes foi bastante legal, mas a execução não foi das melhores, principalmente se comparado com a magistral fase de Peter David e Todd Nauck no título. Entendo que, por exemplo Bendis queis fazer uma homenagem aos heróis da sua infância trazendo de volta Ametista, Supergêmeos, Disque H e o Guerreiro, mas nesse terceiro volume a coisa sai das estribeiras de forma flagrante. Quando ele tenta explicar porque a Justiça Jovem existe naquela realidade, então, a coisa fica terrível. Depois disso, mais duas histórias só de encheção de linguiça. Os desenhos são a parte mais interessante deste volume mesmo, regatando o trabalho de Mike Grell, que ultimamente só tem aparecido em antologias e homenagens

[Ross · Rating 2 out of 5]

Is this the end of the Wonder Comics imprint? Possibly. Bendis' dice roll to see if he could duplicate his wins on the Marvel 'Ultimates' line seems to have hit snake eyes. Praise given for unique origin stories with diverse characters, but you can't capture lightning in a bottle here. Teen Lantern is full of holes. Naomi was set adrift after her own origin. In story, the events of volume 2 and 3 of YJ take place 24 hrs after her origin story. Don't get me started on Sideways. That character is shoehorned into this only because of his age. He isn't an old YJ character, and he isn't a DC Rebirth / Wonder Comics creation.

Fair try trying to explain a lot of the New 52 / Crises . That part at least felt real. People trying to explain reality bending concepts must be grounded in something they can wrap their brains around.

Bonus: kudos to the art team switching back between YJ main story art and Warlord storyline 'old school' art

holy good lord there are so many things i need to say about this volume.

1. tim during the warriors arc is so funny. like all he cares about his steph. he’s always texting her and looking for her when he should be using his bat training to make a plan and it’s just so funny.

2. IS NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT BART WAS HELD IN ARKHAM AND CANONICALLY TRAUMATIZED ABOUT IT. ARKHAM, YALL.

3. tim changing his superhero name to Drake and everyone hating it to the point of almost staging an intervention ahdjskjshs i’m cackling.

4. steph, cassie, and keli were all going through it those last three issues and i just want to wrap them up in a big hug.

overall, 15/10. absolutely no notes other than “this is absolutely fantastic and everybody should read it”.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably DCs best book from the last 2 years. At least it is a near tie with The Terrifics series or Morrisons Green Lantern. This one is more fun than a large barrel of solid gold monkeys. I do hope Bendis continues it post-Future State.

Molto divertente e spensierato, ma niente di memorabile. Peccato che sembri girare molto su se stesso, sarebbe stato bello fare una serie lunga sui young leaguers.

Finally got around to the stories that gripped me and it looks like it's the end.

Some great stories to be told in here.

[Daniel Butcher · Rating 3 out of 5]

A combo of short stories to wind down the series and put all the toys mostly somewhere.

Another DC volume not dealing well with multiverse.

[Ben Truong · Rating 3 out of 5]

Young Justice: Warriors and Warlords picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the last eight issues (Young Justice #13–20) of the 2019 on-going series and collects six stories: "Warlord", "The Emancipation of Bartholomew Allen", "The NOW", "Spoilers", "God and Monsters", and "Final Justice".

"Warlord" is a two-issue storyline with a finale (Young Justice #13–15) has Kon-El as Superboy trapped on Skartakis where he meets Travis Morgan as Warlord where they battle against Green Manaleeshi with a kryptonite sword. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Young Justice tries to rescue Superboy and to take on S.T.A.R. Labs. Cissie King-Jones as Arrowette, Jackson Hyde as Aqualad, Stephanie Brown as Spoiler, Derek James as Sideways, Miguel Montez, Summer Pickens, and the Wonder Twins joined the Young Justice team.

The next five stories are one-issue long: "The Emancipation of Bartholomew Allen" (Young Justice #16), which stars Bart Allen as Impulse and Kon-El as Superboy going against Harley Quinn and Mirror Master. "The NOW" (Young Justice #17) has the Young Justice teaming up with Justice League. "Spoilers" (Young Justice #18) has Stephanie Brown as Spoiler and Tim Drake as Drake going against Cluemaster – Stephanie Brown's father. "God and Monsters" (Young Justice #19) centers on Cassandra Sandsmark as Wonder Girl as she battles Poseidon. Finally "Final Justice" (Young Justice #20) has the entire Young Justice team battling against Red Tornado as they made their new home base in Happy Harbor.

Brian Michael Bendis (Young Justice #13–20) and David Walker (Young Justice #13–17, 19–20) penned the entire trade paperback. For the most part, it is written rather mediocrity well. Two main problems with this trade paperback: a large cast of characters – it is too big to adequately explore each character and the story seems rather directionless. Bendis and Walker tried to consolidate all the characters from the Wonder Comics pop-up imprint and unsuccessfully at that.

Scott Godlewski (Young Justice #15–20), Michel Avon Oeming (Young Justice #13–14, 18), John Timms (Young Justice #13–15), and Mike Grell (Young Justice #13) penciled the trade paperback. Since Godlewski was a major penciler, the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well. As for issue that Godlewski did not pencil, there were too many pencilers in an issue as the different pencilers took section of the issues, which disturb the artistic flow.

Overall, this Young Justice series is written and constructed rather moderately overall. It started out rather strong as the team formed rather quickly to save earth from the inhabitants of Gemworld. It quickly went downward after the first storyline. The problem being that the team is too big and not enough time is spent on characters that Bendis have created. Furthermore, trying to shoehorn every teenaged hero in the Wonder Comics pop-up imprint (Naomi, Dial H for Hero, and Wonder Twins) into the team seemed too quick of an affair.

All in all, Young Justice: Warriors and Warlords is a mediocre conclusion to an equally mediocre series.

[Favour · Rating 3 out of 5]

In a concentrated effort not to complain about DC comic book-specific things I always have problems with, I'll skip talking about the transitions, weirdly placed quips, random flashbacks, abrupt plot points, etc.

Instead, let's talk about the direction this series might go from here. We've finally escaped the multiverse, so what is there to do but...explore Impulse's age? Try to wedge Naomi into the team? Find a new headquarters for Young Justice? Reunite Tim and Stephanie? The possibilities are endless, but that doesn't mean we need to explore all of them.

All that to say that after the big arc was over, this book felt sort of aimless. I'd have really liked it if Tim didn't need to involve all 537 members of the Justice League for every small battle they encountered.

I hate to say it, but the writers clearly don't know what to do with he, Jinny, and the other non-powered members so they just end up standing menacingly in the background during the big fights. So here, I will complain about a typical issue: this cast is way too big for its own good.

Slash Young Justice in half. Kick out Naomi (bless her heart but she's always talking to herself in the background and doesn't seem to go to school). Dial H For Hero don't need to be there either. Spoiler is only Tim's girlfriend, not a YJ member. The Wonder Twins have no business being anywhere but the Hall of Justice. Cut out Amethyst too, she barely had any lines after the Gemworld book.

The only members you really need are Tim Drake (the leader), Conner Kent (the right hand), Wondergirl (the muscle), and Impulse (the convenient speedster). Jinny and Teen Lantern can stay, only because they were part of the original crew and I like them, not because they have any real relevance. Jinny's truck is for aesthetics.

Best part of the book was Tim, of course. His reunion with Conner (after yet another pointless mini-arc) was very sweet and in character for him. At this point, I'm only reading to see what Timmy's up to.

[holly rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the time when I'm trying to gauge whether or not I should read something, I consider two things: is it part of a series and if so, how long is that series? Generally, the longer a series, the less likely I am to read it. The reason for this being I am less likely to finish it even if I tried. All of that's to say, it was the complete opposite for me with this series. I wanted it to be longer, much longer. This series was so enjoyable and I was attached to the story from the beginning all the way to the end. It was the kind of attached where it's all you think about and nothing can silence your thoughts except absorbing every last ounce of the story. The kind where you don't want to set it down, where you're up way later than you should be because you need to know what happens next. I haven't experienced that in a while.
Admittedly, this wasn't my favorite volume in the series. They seemed to resolve the main plot pretty quickly, so after that it just felt like a bunch of one-off stories to tie up all the remaining loose ends. I've heard a lot of complaints about Tim making his hero name Drake which, yes, I agree is absolutely ridiculous. But it's not like the writers are unaware of this because the rest of the characters think it's stupid too. I loved how Batman literally pulled him aside and had an intervention about it. Still, Tim is a genius - I find it really hard to believe he'd willingly choose an alias that reveals his identity more than it conceals it.
I was also pretty disappointed that there was no conclusion to Amethyst's story. She's literally thrown out of her home world, which is currently in utter upheaval, and left with nothing but a new team to occasionally do stuff with. What happens to her? What is she doing? Is her story going to continue? I, for one, would be open to that.

[Joy ;) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really did love this. The writing had me in a chokehold for a good long while. Unfortunately, I got busy and one thing lead to another and it took me over a month to finish. That is not a testament to this book but rather to my own nature.
Wow was this good. Like I’ve never felt such a rollercoaster of delight and grief and horror and love. Man, this was good. Ah Brian Michael Bendis you’ve done it again. You’ve slain me one more time.
And boy, oh, boy the art. My heart skipped a beat every time I turned the page. So pretty. Like so pretty. So. *clap* pretty. *clap* So pretty. *clap clap* goodness me.
I will admit, once the primary storyline was over, I lost the momentum. The end was a bunch of short, character spots which was nice, don’t get me wrong. I liked the one about Spoiler. I’ve never read a comic with her so she was a delight. I didn’t expect it. So I guess that’s what a good comic does. It did aid in my month-long hiatus, though. So there’s that.
All in all, this was a banger of a comic. This whole series was fantastic and I am giddy with anticipation of what will come next for my beloved Young Justice.
Does the YJ phase ride again? Perhaps.
8.99/10 (and not a hundredth-point less) “I think the medical term for it is I, uh, I freaked out.” (Man Bart’s storyline had me weeping bro I loved it so much I ahdjrnckskkckdkekemcndkcnnfj)

[Violette ♡ · Rating 3 out of 5]

ughhhh, ce troisième tome (et dernier heureusement) est le plus compréhensible des trois, même si j’ai rien compris aux problèmes dimensionnels de Superboy ni de Impulse (mais ça c’est normal, je comprend rien à la logique de Flash).
Mais bon, franchement, ça se voit que le gars a été payé pour sortir 3 tomes mais qu’il avait déjà plus d’idée après Gemworld.
Il aurait pu en dire plus sur Teen Lantern et son appareil inconnu, sûrement la seule chose intéressante du comics, mais non.
Le chapitre sur WonderGirl n’a littéralement ni queue ni tête, tu sais pas pourquoi les méchants agissent ainsi, c’était juste pour qu’elle trouve une certaine “indépendance”.

C’est vraiment dommage que l’auteur ai fait de la merde avec Young Justice, j’avais VRAIMENT beaucoup d’attente, je pensais réellement kiffé: eh bah non.
J’ai d’ailleurs une love/hate relationship avec le dessinateur, y a de très jolis dessins mais parfois ils sont horribles; pourquoi ils ont tous la même tête ?

[Robby · Rating 2 out of 5]

Despite the title and first issue, this is not a "Young Justice goes to Warlord's world" story. Instead, we get an initial arc fairly similar to Titans Rebirth where the heroes become aware of their rebooted pasts. The rest of the issues are one-shots either tying into other Bendis projects or focusing on individual heroes, creating the feeling that this book was in editorial limbo before finally jumping the gun. New characters from the beginning of the series never really get there due, and the inclusion of other Wonder Comics characters is rather clumsy. All of this is a shame since both the regular artists and guests such as Oeming and Grell do a fantastic job keeping this team looking fresh even when the writing has tired out.

[Dakota Morgan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Warriors and Warlords unexpectedly wraps up the multiverse-spanning events of the previous volume with a quick little battle at S.T.A.R. labs. It's basically an excuse to show off every hero in the Wonder Comics line before they're cast aside along with Brian Michael Bendis.

After that battle, Warriors and Warlords essentially offers a series of one-shots, with some of the heroes vaguely interested in figuring out why their memories are askew. There are engaging moments, but it's mostly forgettable teen dialogue and bland art. I liked some of the early stuff in this Young Justice series, but I have no issues discarding it now.

[Ronald · Rating 3 out of 5]

After reading reviews of this volume I was concerned it would just be more of the same. I was surprised to find a somewhat coherent story that covered several issues. A bunch of the story was told from the speedsters point of view so it was a bit disorganized. I actually enjoyed Connor's visit to the mystical magical warlords world. I would go so far to say that Bendis did not write these stories as the credits state, these were stories told in a most traditional fashion. I'm kind of sorry to see the series end now.
I guess if I had to complain I would say there were now to many active characters in the book.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short and sweet conclusion to this series. Nice art, some amusing dialogue, a few extra characters thrown into the bag for good measure.
I find it hugely irritating when comic books include the dreaded asterisk informing the reader they have to read another eighty eight billion other comics just to understand the full story of the book they're reading. So that's an automatic docking of one star.
The Conner/Bart combo is enchanting - sadly very little Jinny Hex again (her scene stealing interest in Wonder Woman is awesome), but at least we got some background/origin to backfill parts of the story.

**I've read WAAAAY more than I've had time to review, so... knee-jerk reactions!**
- I had a TON of fun with this graphic novel! The characters were interesting, the conflict the perfect balance between comic book fun and real-deal stakes.
- Seems like this series has finally hit its stride... though this book concluded feeling like the series was going to be ending! (Which is a super bummer!)

[Joshua Toten · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had real hope for this series when it first started. After all, the return of Superboy/Conner Kent was reason to rejoice! Thank you, Bendis! ...But then... horrible writing, too many characters spread thin, plots that just... didn't happen or make sense. Trying to connect it to past worlds/reboots. It's a huge mess. 90% of the 20 issues of this run is spent with Kon being separated from the group anyways, and then when they finally get together... it ends. Such a shame.

[MCitizen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it. But

It felt rushed. The newer characters has potential. They could have (shouldve) been given at least more focus somewhere in this book. Esp teen n jinny. There was a lot of things left unresolved, unanswered. Like Bars issue. And they loose Sideways, who can teleport the whole team, probably has a kick-ass backstory, for Spoiler. And what happened to Secret? Do they even remember her?

So yeah I liked it, but " Lucy you has some 'spailin' to do".

[Sean · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sadly, this seemed like the last few remaining ideas just thrown on the page. What started really well fell apart pretty soundly. The Young Justice team just keeps growing with no rhyme or reason, even the writers mention it. Its not meta, its a problem. This volume lacked heart and seemed like it it was just formulaic, like it was just going through the motions. The art varied mightily and never seemed to gel. Overall, an unfortunate ending for a series with such a fun beginning.

[Ren · Rating 5 out of 5]

The back half of this felt a little disjointed, but I wouldn't say in a bad way. It was very much a culmination of character arcs, and did a great job at showing that this is a team of friends before being a team of supers. I've been a huge fan of Young Justice for a while (comics, though the show is fine too) and this one slipped through my fingers until now, I gotta say I loved it a lot, though.

I now feel so justified in hating the Drake suit and Steph is a legend btw.

[Eugenio · Rating 3 out of 5]

El final de la etapa de Bendis con la Young Justice sufre de exactamente lo mismo que el resto de arcos del equipo. Intenta enseñar muchas cosas y generar un impacto drámatico, pero los personajes tienen un nulo desarrollo, y el único momento en el que parece que puede haber algo, lo cortan para contarlo en otros comics (Superman y Green Lantern).

Los mejores capítulos son los últimos, ya que si sale Spoiler, un comic mejora.

[Paul W. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Surprising guest stars made this one more fun. The story took some nice twists and turns as well, and I found myself enjoying it more than I expected to. It is a bit crowded but still nice. I wish there were more room for character development without devoting an entire issue to a single character. But Bendis does a good job.
