Yesterday’s Children: Memory Six
Writer: Greg Weisman
Artist: Christopher Jones
Colorist: Jason Wright
Letterer: Wes Abbott
Editor: Ben Meares
Our cover by Christopher Jones and Jason Wright is once again extraordinarily bland. Heroes posing like action figures in front of a void of shiny lights. Comics like this don’t have to be so boring and generic. They really could have done something deep and interesting and artistically engaging with this series. But they took the easy route and this is why we can’t have nice things.
The main story wraps up as predictably as one would expect, with absolutely no help from Kid Flash. You can barely see him as a tiny whirlwind fighting Lex-bots in one panel. I almost would have skipped reviewing this issue entirely if it weren’t for the backup story, which includes a flashback to Wally West’s funeral.
We can see Bart in the front row, far left. He’s next to a very pregnant Iris, accompanied by Barry and the Garricks. Bart doesn’t do or say anything here, but I appreciated seeing this moment that the show neglected. I also like how nobody’s wearing their superhero costumes. I always think that’s a bit tacky at funerals.
So that wraps up my very brief coverage of the extremely underwhelming Young Justice: Targets miniseries. Next time, I’ll conclude the much more complicated Dark Crisis: Young Justice.
