This Young Justice Phantoms review contains spoilers.
Immature Justice Season iv Episode 13
Immature Justice Phantoms hitting its midseason break with this week's episode, "Kaerb Ym Traeh!" And it was peradventure the strongest episode of the season: lots of storylines were tied off, while the abrasive motion comic department was cordoned off to an argument betwixt the Lords of Chaos and Order, and Vandal Savage and the Phantom Stranger. Non moving whatsoever of the figures around wasn't actually a trouble in that location, because the move wasn't necessarily the indicate.
This week's episode is also the first with a legitimate mail service-credits scene, and it's…an interesting choice. They're gonna hide Desaad in Mary Bromfeld.
The episode brings closure to Zatanna'due south portion of the story. Her team battles Child and Flaw to salve Earth, while Savage talks the Lords of Anarchy out of supporting Child and evening the odds for the squad. Brutal wins the statement, they pull their power from Kid, and a reconstituted Klarion, Dr. Fate, Zatanna, Traci thirteen, Mary, and Khaled battle her almost to a standoff. It'south Traci who notices Flaw's weak betoken and successfully shatters it, saving the team and the earth. Just Mary does her life force drain thing again, and then Zatanna ices her out of the next phase in the plan: splitting time with Nabu'due south helmet between her dad, Khaled, Traci, and Zatanna herself. Anybody gets one week in the helmet, three weeks off. Mary's pretty pissed by this, and storms off until the post credits scene, where nosotros see her sitting in front end of an out of society photo booth every bit Granny Goodness talks her into proverb the word.
This is a rough adaptation of arguably the worst DC story of the current millennium: Countdown to Last Crunch . A footling context for this: 52 was a weekly volume published past DC in the wake of Infinite Crisis . It was co-written by Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka and Keith Giffen, and followed a bunch of B and C-list characters for a year real-time in the absence of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Information technology was incredible, a feat of storytelling, collaboration, and traffic management past the editorial squad that was nearly impossible to match.
And then of course DC tried to match information technology immediately after with Inaugural . They failed catastrophically.
The book was rebranded as Countdown to Final Crisis midway through its run, and immediately upon its finale was contradicted several times by Terminal Crunch itself. The serial is a rushed mess full of continuity errors and bloat, but the Mary Marvel portions are really the relevant ones here. Mary had lost her powers when the Rock of Eternity was smashed during the lead upward to Infinite Crisis , and got her powers back when she siphoned off some of Blackness Adam's magic. This corrupted her, and Countdown repeatedly removed her powers to go her to join upwards with Darkseid, all so a corrupted version of Mary could exist used as one of Darkseid'southward servants on the post-Anti-Life Earth in the second one-half of Final Crisis – evidently the process by which Mary got her powers back also put Desaad in command of her torso, prompting Black Adam to scream that he sees "a leering sometime man" backside Mary'southward optics. Information technology's pretty super gross in an otherwise best classic DC story.
And manifestly it'due south happening here! This isn't to say that Young Justice is necessarily going to do a poor task with it – Marvel is basically redoing the unabridged Clone Saga in the pages of Spider-Man right now, and it'southward actually pretty decent, so why non this one? We'll run into when YJ returns if they can pull it off.
PHANTOM PREMONITIONS
- The biggest news this week might be that Zatanna saw Connor's spirit floating in the ether as they were returning the school passenger vehicle to its rightful time. I've seen some speculation that they were moving through the Phantom Zone when she saw him, simply that'southward pretty early speculation and should be resolved when they somewhen get Connor back.
- Klarion gets a new familiar, and baby Teekl 2 is pretty damn cute.
- Two heroes jump out of a beetle scarab in the North Pole just every bit Zatanna's squad disappears: Water ice (Tora Olafsdottir, a founding member of the Justice League International and breathtaking scene stealer in Tom King and Greg Smallwood's Human Target series on stands now) and Isis, created in 52 to exist a soothing influence on Black Adam.
- Black Canary is patently a existent therapist, and not just someone sent to listen to the kids similar she was in season one of the show. That said, it's been a full decade of in-universe time since flavour 1, so she may take acquired her license in that time.
