DC released their November 2013 solicits this week, and now it's time to see what's happening in the "Young Justice" corner of the DC Universe. And, yes, there's a reason I wrote "Solicit", not the plural in the title. Here's why:

That's IT!
We started off the New 52 with 6 books (Teen Titans, Legion of Superheroes, Legion Lost, Blue Beetle, Hawk and Dove and Static Shock ). By the Second wave of the New 52, Static Shock and Hawk and Dove were cancelled, but the Young Justice group was given an extra book in the form of The Ravagers. The third wave wiped out Blue Beetle, and when the fourth came, Legion Lost was cancelled as well, not long after followed by Legion of Super-Heroes. Basically, what I'm saying is, for a company who want to pull in younger readers, cancelling all but one of your teenager based comics probably isn't a good idea.
And as a teenager myself, I can say that I enjoy reading series surrounding teenage super-heroes, they're more relatable, in my opinion, to the younger readers. My suggestion is to move "The Movement" by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams II and "The Green Team: Teen Trillionares" by Art Baltazar, Franco and Ig Guara to this group, at least give it one or two extra books, DC have a lot of teenage heroes they could use again, and I think It would help bring younger readers to the company. Teen Titans and Static Shock were what brought to reading comics when the New 52 started.
In slightly better news, Brett Booth confirmed over twitter in a conversation with me that he'll be drawing the covers to this series again for four issues after this one, which is great news because Booth was the best artist this series has had so far.
Anyway, that rounds up DC Comics' solicits for the month of November 2013, if you missed any of the groups click on the links attached to the group's name: Batman, Dark, The Edge, Green Lantern, Justice League, Superman ( and obviously, you've just read the Young Justice one ).
