Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Young Justice wound up with some of the bleakest, darkest stuff I've read in comics. And it made me cry. More than once.
But it took a good while before it got to the point where it could tug on your heartstrings like that.

Around where? And would it still hit you if you hadn't read all the preceding?

The silly lets up about 10-15 issues in, IIRC.
Yep. About issue 15, I think. But I'm not sure if it would hit you if you hadn't read all the preceding.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Young Justice was special in that it gathered up all the young, vaguely stupid characters in DC that I find too annoying for words and gave them their own title. It's as if Joss made a show starring Dawn, Kennedy, Andrew, and Connor. With occasional mentoring visits from St. Cordy, "Provider"-era Angel, and Season 7's Speechifying!Buffy.

I like Superboy just fine, and Robin. I'm so glad I didn't read much Bart before the knee problem, because I doubt I'd have found the love.

He's very love-worthy in Impulse. Stubborn little cuss.
But he's way cooler now.

Matt: hah! I read the whole run of YJ and it never did it for me, but I do like Teen Titans.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The Internet is buzzing with Identity Crisis spoilers, and yet, not a one of them reveals the particulars of the mystery. Which I'm happy about, mind--but man, am I antsy for the next issue.

Whee! Got the last three NML TPBs. Finished #3. So my Batgirl concerns are put to rest. I'm a little happy.
