Anti-SJW New Character First Appearance In Young Justice #4 (Spoilers)

Published Sun, 18 Sep 2022 09:57:10 -0500

We knew he was coming. The solicitations for Dark Crisis: Young Justice #5 was full of it, so it's not that much of a surprise. "HERE'S MICKEY! Mickey Mxyzptlk, son of Mr. Mxyzptlk, built the "perfect world" where he and the boys of Young Justice could rule without being criticized, without having to change, without ever having to grow up". But his first appearance is in this Tuesday's Dark Crisis: Young Justice #4. With the team trapped in their own past – but rather a twisted version of it.

And, created by Meghan Fitzmartin and Laura Braga, we are introduced to Mickey Mxyzptlk.

And whose motivations are very, very clear, and very very familiar.

The change that if characters don't behave as they did when the audience were kids – or rather, don't behave as the audience remembers they did – which are often two very different things, then these new comic books are just going toruin people's childhoods. Even as the reader themselves are adults. And now a big new bad for the DC Universe, whenever you need a metacommentary on how the audience reacts to something.
