There’s something wrong with Morgan (Joshua Gomez). The longer the Intersect stays in his head the more it appears to be altering his personality. It’s not just his new abilities going to his head, as Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Casey (Adam Baldwin) first assume. The Intersect is changing their little buddy – and not for the better.

When the Young Justice team appears bored with their latest lesson in Espionage 101 Captain Atom decides to present them with an opprunity to learn in the field by solving a case close to his heart.
Using the skills they’ve been taught Captain Atom challenges to prove or disprove the guilt of Nathaniel Adam, an Air Force officer convicted of murdering a superior officer in 1968.
Happy to get out of the classroom, but a little surprised by the request, the team begins to investigate the murder and uncovers a smuggling ring that points to Adams’ innocence. They also run into a magical-sword-wielding samurai intent on keeping the truth hidden.
The story, having the team unknowingly investigate the past of a member of the Justice League, is an interesting idea. It also forces the more powerful members of the team into using covert skills they don’t normally employ. Although I enjoy the cartoon this is the first issue of the series I’ve picked up, and it’s good enough I might go back and read a few more issues. Worth a look.

As Apollo heads into space to try and destroy the meteors hurtling towards Earth the rest of the team jumps to Colorado where the first meteor has landed and a giant space monster is now on the loose.
The third issue of the series isn’t awful, but it is disappointing in several ways. With the exception of the Eminence of Blades on the moon and Apollo in deep space the team looks rather pathetic against the first big threat we see them come across. I’m thinking that’s maybe not how you want to showcase a team just taking its first steps into the proper DCU.
I’v also less than happy with the literal translation of Jack Hawksmoor‘s ability to talk to cities. A better writer would understand that this refers to the character’s innate understanding of what is going on in cities with a connection that can’t actually be expressed. Writer Paul Cornell’s much more literally version is Jack actually talking to female avatars of cities in an awkward attempt to explain his powers. Ugh.
