I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway. I'm not really sure who this book was written for. Is it for viewers of the show? Or is it meant to draw in nonviewers. As a fan of the television series I am familiar with the characters and their personality traits. As a result, it wasn't hard for me to fall into the story. A non viewer would likely have trouble figuring out what was going on as few character traits were exhibited here. At the same time, there were frequent flashbacks to inform the reader what had happened in the show. Someone who watched the show and is interested enough in the series to get the comic book would not need this information.
The storylines were enjoyable, but moved a bit too quickly for my taste. I can understand the need for speed in a thirty minute cartoon, but in a book, there should be enough time to flesh things out a bit more. If you like the show, you will probably like this book. Nonviewers should skip it as it does not provide a good introduction to the plot or characters.

This fed my Spitfire shipper heart well but the first 2 issues were a little meh.

I enjoyed the artwork and the story lines. I appreciated the lack of cursing, which would have prevented me from using it at school. The idea of a book to fill in action between the episodes is clever, but I have not seen enough episodes to remember the back story of all the characters. I think that limited my enjoyment and understanding a bit. If I were an avid viewer (as some of my students are), then I would have rated it even higher, because it would have made more sense and flowed more smoothly for me. I liked the inclusion of the older super heroes and the interactions between the team members. I would recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the series or is interested in super hero comics and graphic novels.
Note: I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

Seemed a bit rushed and hurried, but still a good story. And now, the time jump!

Best parts? The team up between Green Arrow, Artemis, Flash, Kid Flash, Batman, and Robin. And mostly because I can't get enough of those first four.

Another very fun installment in this series. I swear, the Nightwing reveal at the end hit me like a ton of bricks - just like the reveal in the show. (I love Nightwing/Dick Grayson so much.) I think this comic has helped me bridge that gap between Robin and Nightwing. So often I almost forget that they really are the same person. The frame of Nightwing talking like he used to (which he doesn't really do in season 2) helps me reconcile the two personas. It's crazy cool to see Dick really grow up. I guess that's one of the things I really like about him: we get to see that coming of age that we often don't see for a lot of these other heroes. Peter Parker is another character I like as I've seen him mature into adulthood.
Enough of me gushing over Grayson, read this comic, people! Especially if you're a Young Justice fan. (Super excited for season 3!)
