Some thoughts about Young Justice #19

Can Wonder Girl reject her roots?

Zeus has returned to make Cassie part of his Pantheon of Gods but she knows that her place is with her friends.

At this point you shouldn't be surprised when an old plot-point doesn't have a satisfying resolution.

Brian Bendis brings back the sub-plot that he started from the very beginning about Wonder Girl's conflict with Zeus and yeah, you know how things go. First of all, this was ignored for so long that I almost forgot about it. Second, there were so many issues focusing on practically nothing in this run that I wonder why they didn't include some sort of development about it in-between. Third and even more importantly, the execution of this is all over the place obviously.

This plot-point is rushed, plain and simple, not surprising of course since it had a single issue to be resolved and doesn't present an appropriate conclusion because of it. Not to mention that Bendis uses a sort of narration that tries to emulate tales of mythology but just makes everything seem overwritten as usual and basically like padding. If there's something I appreciate here is that I sorta like the idea of every religion and mytho being true but is not to salvage this mess.

Scott Godlewski's artwork is pretty good though with expressive characters and a semi-cartoony style.

Aside from that, just end already. This is torure.
