By: Nicole Dubuc (writer) The Story: It’ll be the end of the world unless Young Justice saves us. So yeah, goodbye Earth.

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Greg Weisman The Story: I think this is the beginning of a magical friendship. The Review: Zatanna has a rather complicated place in the DCU and especially with the Justice League.
