Young Justice: Invasion- Ep. 3- "Salvage" Review

I didn't think this episode, "Salvage" would top last week's episode. But it easily did. So many revelations in this episode. I LOVED this episode.

Ever since "Invasion" started, fans have been tearing the timeskip apart, because 4 of the recurring cast members, Wally, Artemis, Roy, and Kaldur, were absent from the season Priemere.

So, now, with this episode, we know what happened to Wally and Artemis. Wally is now retired from the superhero business and he also lives with Artemis. I'm really glad Spitfire unlike the ill-fated "Supermartian" ship (didn't even like the Supermartian pairing that much anyway.) But boy, Wally has matured even more. I can't wait to see him again in episode 6.

The whole B-plot was about Roy, which we learned an important twist. At the end, Cheshire, reveals she is married to Roy and they have a child, Lian. Hopefully they don't mindlessly kill her off, I'm lookin at you, DC. It is also revealed that Guardian is Jim Harper's clone. I wonder what happened to Cadmus, after The Light attacked them. Hopefully we will find out soon.

Now the A-plot was just as interesting. We got some nice development with Blue Beetle. I'll say it, Blue Beetle is my favorite new member. I find him more enjoyable than Batman The Brave and the Bold's incarnation of him. It was also revealed that Ted Kord exists on Earth-16. But was killed off by the Light. And also, we now know who The Light's new partner is, it is indeed, The Reach (the alien race that created the Scarab) The Light killing off Ted Kord was obviously a plot orchestrated by the Reach to get the Scarab back. Also, I loved the Blue Beetle/Superboy interaction.

Sportsmaster was also in this episode. But he was just assisting the partner. Intergang was pretty much the main villain, but damn. Is Miss Martian STILL mindwiping? Jeez, or was it Sportsmaster punishing them for interfering with their operation? Or was Miss Martian in cahoots with Sportsmaster?

Anyways, really good episode. I loves it. Also saw the preview for next week's episode. Batgirl, Wonder Girl, Miss Martian, and Bumblebee are fighting the Fearsome Five, in Biayla. Queen Bee is in Biayla, and she killed Gar's mom. And Miss Martian is also going to Biayla. This will not end well.
