DC Universe delivers the must-read prequel comic book alongside the highly anticipated third season of the animated Young Justice: Outsiders. With new episodes of Young Justice about to hit the DC Universe streaming service, let’s take a look back and see what’s in store for readers!

As we previously mentioned, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman serve as producers; Sam Register is executive producer.

The story is set between the 2013 finale of the second season of Young Justice. Before the debut of Young Justice: Outsiders, the prequel comic book  will be written by Weisman, with art done by Christopher Jones. The story has released two chapters on DC Universe today.

As mentioned by Jones online, “Although if this and the previous tie-in comics are popular enough on The DC Universe, they could decide to change that. Greg Weisman would LOVE to do more.”

3) Chapter 1!

As you can tell from the illustrations, tensions are high between Superboy and Miss Martian. It could be because of their breakup. Can Batgirl bring the peace between the former exes?  

2) Reading Comics!

As a fan and reviewer, I have to admit that I love reading comics on the DC Universe app. I had tons of reading material from Teen Titans and Aquaman to catch up on. So definitely give the prequel comic a try!

1) Three Episodes! 

Three episodes will be released weekly when the Young Justice animated series starts on the DC Universe streaming service! Talk about binging! This is how you should binge-watch!

Two chapters of the prequel comic is available now on the DC UNIVERSE. Young Justice: Outsiders premieres January 4th, 2019 only on DC UNIVERSE. The DC UNIVERSE is now Live on Amazon Fire TV.
