I'm guessing Kon, based on the clothes, and since it said that the Robin, Superboy, and Kid Flash are the 3 from Peter David's original series.
And now I need to re-read YJ.

Never a bad thing!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I've never read YJ, but trying to find the trades on Amazon is a mess. I can't really tell what the order is, and at least some of them appear to be out of print. Is there a better place to look?
ETA: Nevermind. I at least found a way to read them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Reading Young Justice. The only work of Peter David's previous to this was his Star Trek novels, which I'm a fan of.
I'm enjoying YJ, but I think PAD does a better job meshing the humor and the serious in novel form (or maybe the structure of the Star Trek universe keeps from getting a little too carried away. He sure loves his puns, though.)
Impulse is awesome, and I like Robin, but I could take or leave the other characters at the moment. (Also, as unimpressed as I was with Superboy's recent costume "He wear's a black Superman tee and jeans? Seriously?" it's light years better than his YJ getup. Yikes. Also not digging Wonder Girl's costume, but I accept her explanation for not wanting to wear the "real" costume.)
All in all, I'm having a good time with it, though I just finished the "Gun Control" issue and ugh. I mean, I'm a liberal weenie and I was still reading it thinking "Okay, guns are bad. We get it. Shut up already!" It marred what otherwise would have been an excellent story.
ETA: I did really like Kon's baseball speech at the end of the issue. It was a nice little "you're my friend/I trust you to do the right thing" bit without being preachy.

Okay: this is a fundraiser to do a comics in the classroom thing. Which is cool by itself. They have met their fundraising goal (but more wouldn't hurt, if the goodies appeal). Mostly, I want to share this because if you like Troy McClure, you'll love Josh Elder. And he deserves props for his delivery. I've watched the video four times now just for the giggles:

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I DO like Troy McClure, and now I love Josh Elder! I am seriously considering buying that book now even though the only artist I recognize is Jill Thompson.
And done! Thanks for the link, Strega. Looks like a fun project.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Angsty superhero sculpture. It's basically three guys, sculpted three ways. He doesn't have a wide view of vulnerability. Although he's good, technically. I really like Batman.

I guess I'm going to pick up The Tick, and maybe DC Kids. Not too much else looks interesting to me, though.
