I'm currently working on the final issue of
#YoungJusticeTargets
, and hoping that with no current commitment for a fifth season of the TV show or further comics that this isn't the final chapter of the Earth 16 saga. My thanks to everyone who has been supporting the comic.
The word is out! The
#YoungJustice
tie-in comics are back in the form of Young Justice: Targets, a 6-issue mini-series by co-producer/showrunner Greg Weisman, pencils/inks by myself, colors by Jason Wright. Read the official announcement here:
For every
#YoungJustice
fan I've spoken to in the last 5 years, who I assured that there was STILL A CHANCE the show could come back... for every fan who HOPED and WAITED... the first 3 episodes of
#YoungJusticeOutsiders
are now LIVE on DC Universe
The way
#YoungJustice
deals with the OG Team feels like high school best friends that have grown and moved on into their individual adult lives but still have strong ties to their old friends. Love this show. Keep watching

in dry dock.

A page I drew for IDW's
#StarTrek
#YearFive
Epilogue issue. You only are given so many chances to draw your favorite Starship in drydock for refit, so I may have gone a *little* crazy on the detail.

Now I don't want anyone calling the end of the season finale of
#YoungJusticePhantoms
a cliffhanger. The end of the previous episode? THAT was a cliffhanger. This was a tease. It happens every season. Now we just need Season 5 so the show can deliver on those intentions...

There is a petition asking
#MarvelStudios
to replace Brie Larson as
#CaptainMarvel
. Because after being in 2 movies that are approaching three billion dollars at the box office they're going to see this petition and go "Oh no! We need to replace Brie!"
I really can't wait for
#YoungJustice
fans to see the last issue of
#YoungJusticeTargets
. There are going to be people crying reading the last five pages!
Hey
@HBOmax
, the Atlantis story arc of
#YoungJusticePhantoms
was over 2 weeks ago. Can we update the menu to feature the artwork for the current story arc?
The 2nd of my new 11x17
#YoungJusticeOutsiders
prints is here! "Recognized" features the original line-up of the
#YoungJustice
team as they appear in Season 3! I'll have it at my
#NYCC
Artist Alley table (B-10) for $20, and in my Etsy store & at other con appearances afterwards.
It really would be great if
#YoungJustice
wasn't constantly in a state of fighting for its continued/future existence, but here we are. And here's how you can help the chances for Season 5 and beyond.
The reality of the comics industry is that TV shows based on comic book properties (like
#YoungJusticePhantoms
) reach an audience orders of magnitude larger than the readership of the comics. Given that fact...
@solarkarii
USS Vengeance from Star Trek Into Darkness. It's ugly, it's not credible that it was built in secret, it was just a bad idea all around. Wait, did you mean something else?
Hey, remember when this poster for
#YoungJusticePhantoms
dropped and everyone was trying to decode the image? I remember people being confused especially by the red & yellow diamonds and the multicolored spheres. Everything make sense now?
#SaveEarth16
A suggestion for
@TheDCUniverse
: if you just green light the next TWO seasons of
#YoungJusticeOutsiders
now there won't be as long of a wait between seasons 4 and 5. :-)
If tie-in comics continue beyond
#YoungJusticeTargets
it creates a place to tell further stories in
#YoungJustice
continuity in the absence of a Season 5, or during the wait for S5. And a thriving comic book series would only help the argument for more YJ in television form.
In December 2019 I moved to Los Angeles from Minnesota for a job as storyboard revisionist on
#YoungJusticePhantoms
. Tonight at Midnight PST here the idea the season finale goes live on HBOmax. I can't believe we're here. What a journey it has been.
Season 5 of
#YoungJustice
HAS NOT been green lit at this time. The best way to help make it happen is by watching
#YoungJusticePhantoms
and Seasons 1-3 on HBOmax.
Here's
#5
of the 6 new
#YoungJustice
prints I'll be brining to
#C2E2
at the end of the month. It's SuperMartian -
#Superboy
,
#MissMartian
and their extended families! If you can't make it to C2E2 it's available in my Etsy store now!
This is my newest print, featuring Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor from
#DoctorWho
! This print will debut at the
#Gally1
convention February 16-18, 2018, but you can't attend, you can pre-order the print from my Etsy store NOW and save $5!
I was delighted to provide the
#SvenManor
background for this week's installment of
#Svengoolie
. I hope everyone enjoyed the change of scenery while we're waiting for Sven and company to be able to return to the studio. :-)
I expect fans of
#YoungJusticePhantoms
will have different favorite story arcs this season depending on who your favorite characters are, but I absolutely loved working on the magic arc because of the guest stars. We're only just getting started...
#YJParty
Whenever you watch the end credits this season, remember that with a finite amount of runtime and a finite animation budget, this is Greg and Brandon wanting to squeeze every last bit of story into the episode that they can.
@KnightFleck
Yeah, I really tear up every time a hear Pa Kent suggest letting a School Bus full of kids die. At least he had a peaceful and poetic death in a tornado.
Remember that middle part of
#BackToTheFuture
II where the tone gets to the darkest point of the entire trilogy, because the villain was a parody of Donald Trump?
Check out this new poster for
#YoungJustice
Phantoms! I got to collaborate with
#BrandonVietti
and Jason StJohn Wright on this and had a ton of fun. Look for news on YJ Season 4 as part of
#DCFanDome
!
I am so anxious for fans to see more of the work we are doing on
#YoungJusticeTargets
. In addition to the great story by
@Greg_Weisman
, I think we are delivering something with the art that is different than your typical animation tie-in comic. Colors by Jason Wright
This image popped up in my Facebook memories as something I posted 11 years ago today. It's the "try out" piece I did to get the gig drawing the original run of
#YoungJustice
tie-in comics. I look at it now and just see all the ways everyone is off model. But it got me the gig!
The latest
#YoungJustice
Season 4 production update from the good Mr. Weisman. At this point, the premier date is at the discretion of HBOMax, there are plenty of episodes banked. Looking forward to everyone seeing it soon!
#YoungJusticePhantoms
is the first show I've done storyboard work on, so it's a new experience for me to watch a finished episode and have my brain saying "worked on that sequence, didn't work on that one, worked on that one, I haven't seen that one, worked on that one...
I've never understood why tie-in comics based on those shows aren't treated as A-list books and a potential gateway for new readers. I'd love for
#YoungJusticeTargets
to be the comic to prove this potential. Spread the word. Pre-order.

With
#YoungJusticeTargets
coming out soon, it seemed like a good time to remind our fans why it's such a good idea to pre-order a copy from your local comic shop...
Watch the
#YoungJusticePhantoms
spoilers friends! A lot of fans won't have a chance to watch the new episode until tonight or this weekend. Please don't ruin it for them.
#YoungJustice
Looks like
#YoungJusticeOutsiders
is a big hit for
@TheDCUniverse
! Let's get that next season confirmed, get some quality merch out there (Bowhunter Security shirts, anyone?), and...oh, I don't know, a full series revival of the
#YoungJustice
tie-in comic?
A full-series revival of the
#YoungJustice
tie-in comic is just like bringing the show back - there was an AWARENESS of fan demand, but people watching it on Netflix was what produced hard numbers that could convince the powers that be to invest in
#YoungJusticeOutsiders
. (1/2)
Just like all the other fans, I wish we were working on new episodes of the
#YoungJustice
show or new issues of the comic right now. But until then working on prints like these feel like revisiting old friends.
@toddstarnes
The point isn't that the virus having an origin in China isn't inaccurate. It's that Trump emphasizing its Chinese origin at every opportunity as more important than any other detail including it's proper name is politically strategic xenophobia and racist.
Not satisfied with blowing the minds of its own fan base,
#YoungJusticePhantoms
also has surprises for fans of an entirely different DC animated series this week. Episode 19 is live now on
@HBOmax
.
