The  Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Young Justice pt.2

2/11/2019

So when during even the better second season there was discussion of “Young Justice” being cancelled already due to issues with not selling enough girl toys (seriously), fans were shocked. We voiced on forums, and twitter how stupid DC was being with this decision. We sent messages on all the social media sites for DC to not do this to prove the fanbases commitment. Even at the NJL we did a review of season 1 when it hit Netflix ( way back in episode 13 ), and have often talked our love about the series.  I mean seriously, WTF DC? Why you make it so hard to love you?

​For fans it also felt a bit salty what DC was doing, since at the time it live action movies were not hitting like we wanted, and the animated movies were being pumped out so much that the quality was clearly being neglected for quantity. Also it brought back bad memories of Teen Titans being cancelled on a cliffhanger, just when it was reaching a point of truly being great. All of these factors made the cancellation seem less about a lack of viewership, and even not about the stacks, but DC just being stupid and no longer knowing their audience. So when DC announced a season 3 would actually happen, we all clapped for joy, danced a jig, whipped our hair back and forth...till we found out it was only coming to DC’s stream service. Yaaaaaaayyyyy.

 20 points to your Hogwarts House if you know who this awesome guy next to Superman is. Hint...he's iconic.
The stream service, remind you, that at the time did not even exist. That wanted a strong subscription base like Netflix, with not even a quarter of the content. That only had this, a “Titans” live action show definitely being planned, and a fairly high entry price for a niche limited library streaming service. This was all found out too, after the show was cancelled when Netflix was and is still Stream God and had the first 2 seasons on it already. Shade aside tho, fans were ecstatic! I mean,  it seemed that our wishes were being granted by a low rent unemployed fairy godmother, but still granted nonetheless! Every time DC released a little bit more of what the upcoming series was going to bring, what characters were coming back or added, the more fans were prepared it seem to try out DC’s streaming service test run. So when the day finally happened in January, year 2019 of our lord and savior Beeboo, that Young Justice Outsiders came out for all our streaming pleasure the voice of all its fans unanimously said one thing. “Ay mane, who got a password for the DC Universe stream I can borrow real quick?”

From L to R: Katana, Geo-Force, Forager, Halo, Metamorpho, and Nightwing
Season 3 starts with a time jump that has become almost expected with Young Justice and their overarching storyline of the League and all its teams fighting the Villains group called “ The Light”. The storyline of young metas being weaponized against their will continues, and throughout it we are introduced to new characters in the series. Black Lightning who deals with issues with his powers after a fight where a young meta dies, and who he tries to become after. Halo, Forager, and Geo-force are also introduced as new characters early as the young metas who make up the Outsiders team.

Black Lightning went from "Agent Negro 47" to " New phone who dis?" Perfect example of why  Black Beards Matter.
They are led now by mid 20’s Nightwing, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Arrowette, who ironically are in the exact spot their adult counterparts where at over 5 years ago with them. Which I LOVE. It’s rare in a cartoon series for the characters to actually age so clearly, especially from teen to adult. I mean Superboy went from this angsty teen upset his clone dad Superman wasn’t giving him no love. To a grown man with patience, wisdom, a job building bikes, and giving his own dad advice on things. Arrowette is living with the original to us Roy Harper, who is actually a clone, and now called Will ( long story, but not nearly as convoluted as it seems...promise). Who owns a security business ( Episode 4 dealing with his company is also one of the funniest in the whole series). Aqualad is now Aquaman ( Which if Cherry’s suggestion for MBJ to play him didn’t make sense, it definitely makes sense now) and runs the whole Justice League. It’s sad we don’t see much action from him this year honestly, but to see him go from not thinking he mattered in season 1 to being HNIC, is great. Nightwing is well, still Nightwing but has better understanding of why Batman does things the way he does. It’s all very well done, and gives moments in the new season where you see their glow up and understanding the headache their mentors had dealing with them, and it's great.

To be concluded with the final part 3 Friday ….

Original OG comic book lineup: Superboy (Connor Kent), Impulse (Bart Allen), and Robin (Tim Drake)
Spoilers Ahead

Batman: The Animated Series. Superman: The Animated Series. Justice League Unlimited. Teen Titans. Fam, there was a solid 10-15 years where the DCAU ran point on all things amazing and animated. Marvel honestly could not catch up on the animated front (let’s be real they still can’t, but they trying lol), and no one really cared because the DC Animated Universe was so trill! This was still a bit before the huge Comic Movie Universes that boomed from 2008 with Iron Man and kept running till this day, that now has Marvel in the clear spotlight. So for us comic book geeks and all things Marvel or DC back then, our attentions were focused on these shows as kids and young adults. Even as an adult rewatching, let me tell you they stand the test of time. They may have moments of corny, because let’s be real, these were shows made for the Saturday morning cartoon crowd, but the overall gangsta can not be denied. Then in 2010, several years after its similar theme predecessor “Teen Titans” was cancelled, DC showed us once again why they reign King in the animated land with the drop of “Young Justice.”
​

“Young Justice” was based on the comic book series of the same name created in 1998. that usually involves the characters of Robin, Superboy, Impulse, Arrowette, and others who were either permanent or temporary members throughout its first few volumes.. It was DC’s way of having a Teen Titans during the late 90s and early 2000s, but without needing all of the backlog of the actual Teen Titans mythology. It was meant to have the freedom to try fresh new stories with at the time new iterations of Robin ( Tim Drake ) Impulse/Kid Flash ( Bart Allen), and Superboy (Connor Kent). It was a really fun series, that started off light hearted, but delved into really deep stories of identity, legacy, and carving your own path when your not the first or even second version of your public hero image. The show included new iterations of Aqualad Kaldur'ahm (who’s super black boy magic fyi), and a “niece” of John Jones the Martian Manhunter in Miss Martian. It came at a perfect time too since it was a few years after the Teen Titans highly acclaimed show was cancelled in 2006 on a cliffhanger, so fans were ready for what promised to be another great series, and my guy did they deliver.

HAIC *Head Aquaman In Charge*

From the first few episodes involving the initial team lineup rescuing Superboy and their interactions with their adult counterparts, fans knew we were in for a treat. In fact it was loved so much that even after 2 seasons it was in a lot of circles being compared to the gold standards of Batman with the overarching stories and new origin mythos being given for heroes and villains alike. While also doing an amazing job of having an ensemble cast with some amazing action set pieces just like in the JLU series. The cadmus escape, and the attack in Atlantis are perfect examples of the use of multiple characters done well in action scenes, and there are so many more throughout the series.

It is ridiculous honestly. Strong building blocks like this in the superb action scenes, intense story, and seeing new versions of loved characters that for fans Young Justice seemed like a  damn sure thing. We all thought it was another solid investment from DC, a new series to love and make a classic. If we only knew.



​To be continued with part 2 next week….

Queen of Zazzau by J.S. Emuakpor Review

2/5/2019

​“The Queen of Zazzau” novel is a story I needed without knowing it. Like most NJLers, I am a heavy consumer of stories and fantasies in all formats I can afford (and some I can not). Cherry and I both have an affinity to anything with strong world building, flawed yet interesting characters, and honestly overall fun to read. So please try to understand my excitement when I found out about the “The Queen of Zazzau”  by J.S. Emuakpor. A story about an African princess, turn warrior, made queen, with gods, and magic written BY a black woman?! *Cue God’s plan playing in the background.* To add to the awesomeness of such a premise, when I  later found out that this is based on a true story, that there was an actual Amina who was a Hausa  queen in Northern Nigeria….fam. Did you know Xena the Warrior Princess was loosely based on her exploits as a warrior? That she ruled for almost 40 years as woman in a time that certainly was not easy in the 1500s? Or how about she ruled historically one of the largest and extensive Hausa kingdoms ever? Hell, to this day there are still signs of her legend through statues and the standing walls around her trade cities. Talk about Black Girl Magic for real.


Spoilers below.

The novel centers around Amina the princess of Zazzau, and how prophecy and destiny makes her into a both queen and legend. It starts with Amina in her mid to late 20’s with her bodyguard/best friend Jaruma during a confrontation with an enemy state called Kwarafa. The conclusion of this initial contact leads the audience to a strong impression of Amina’s character and why she makes the decisions that contribute to her rise. I enjoyed J.S. Emuakpor’s decision to reveal early in the story the prophecy surrounding Amina from birth that she was destined to become the Wife of War and be the cause of hundreds of deaths. Amina, being strong willed and having a kindness of heart, tries her best to prevent this from happening at all costs. However, her naivete as a princess slowly loses to the reality of responsibility as a future queen.

What was great to me reading this is even though I am well versed in the tropes of a hero’s journey and the genre of fantasy itself,  I had to look deeper into African cultural aspects to better grasp this story. For example,I know what a “ Duke”, a “ Knight”, and a “ Halbert” are because of the Western European fantasy I have read. Yet, I had to Google and refer to the glossary for definitions of  “Gimbiya”, “ Takouba”, and “ Sarauniya.” From stories like “ A Song of Ice and Fire” to “ Lord of the Rings.” the majority of today’s popular fantasy is written with that European background in place almost as a default. Some would say this makes sense, considering the historical background shared between most readers...but that argument in itself is a lie. Even sci-fi and  fantastical stories written by persons’ of color have this default narrative, whether there is a tone or perspective from a P.O.C. or not. Emuakpor writes from a African ( Nigeria specifically) backdrop, and does this with an apparent bias. There is nothing more special to me than reading about a person of color and feeling like the writer wrote them with such authenticity that, as a black person, I instinctually pick up on. A good example is when Jaruma, who technically is her servant, throws shade at Amina. Her love and manner of showing it reads truthful.  It is a sisterly bond I have seen with black women in real life and it grips me to the story organically.

Another strength the“ Queen of Zazzau” has for itself is the magical world offered through African mythology. In most European-viewed fantasies, things like fetishes, or non Abrahamic religions, are considered taboo and almost always linked to evil or savage like moments in the adventure. So to have a story that discusses them without a negative connotation, or makes them seem as natural as spell incantations in the “ Harry Potter” series is refreshing. A perfect example is seen in the character of Ruhun Yak’i, the God of War. From his demeanor towards Amina, to the magic he is able to do, and even the limitations of his magic as the God of War are clear examples of the black lens this is all being done through. So while the reader can clearly see the character template of most Gods of Wars seen in stories in Ruhun, Emuakpor gives him a distinctive personality and way of doing things that is strongly African. As we watch the transition from first brutish interaction with Amina to his docile-like nature that stems from Amina’s own strong personality later in the book, it is clearly told from a person of color’s perspective, and is a joy to read from start to finish.

I never realized how thirsty as a reader I was for Afrocentric fantasy works until this story and I look forward to more from J.S. Emuakpor. “The Queen of Zazzau”  is a great introduction to the author, and a thrilling adventure I could hardly put down. While I personally would have loved to have seen this story fleshed out into multiple books, I know that is more my personal taste and will bear with a great story ending early. Amina is a strong black woman with a heart for her people and a sensibility of balance between her people and herself that I admired. The afrocentric backdrop makes this story feel culturally important to the reader, which I imagine is one of the goals Emuakpor had in mind when creating this story. Lastly, the fact that all of this is based on a real-life Amina Zazzau and her powerful 34 year reign in Nigeria makes this a tale I plan to share with as much friends as possible, out of my own sense of duty and love.

Grade: A

Hey guys, it's your boy Jay with this weeks continuation of  "The Emissary of Veritas" story! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday, and ate like the fat kids I know you are lol. I originally started this as part of the #NaNoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month)  challenge to write either a novel, or a 50,000 words equivalent. I have always had the major plot points and certain characters in mind, but was too afraid to ever start. So thanks to the challenge, and sharing my weird imagination with you guys I finally took the plunge keeping myself honest to try it lol. I also really want to thank all the NJLers who allowed me to superimpose some of their funnier traits or ideas to my characters, which made writing this even more fun to share with them. Also special shout out and thank you so much to Jaslyn, Chichi, and Jen who have helped me edit this just enough to share with you guys. Pray for them having to deal with my writing style ya'll, cuz whoooo child lol.

So to thank you all, this week will be  chapters 4 and 5! Click here, here, or  here to catch up if your new to the story. Like always, please like, share, and comment and let us know if you want more of "The Emissary of Veritas" story!  Strong language and and mature situations below.

Chapter 4

Loc King has never been past the 2nd floor of a        " Goody's Bits for Tips " before. When he first walks through the door tied to the magic entrance to the 3rd floor, there is a moment his brain needs a second to catch up. He stops completely in his tracks in a slightly defensive stance, his mind working overtime as he thinks  “ OK, ok, ok. This is not, uh, this is not...SHIT!This is clearly bigger than it should be. Two, three, hell maybe even FIVE times bigger than...Cats paw this is some serious magic. The ability alone for this level of magic is crazy. To use it to create an entire neighborhood without any hint of magical leaks or seepage? What master sorcerer do they know who’d even be interested to do such work? Oooh fuck, I am NOT high enough for this.” “ Is everything ok?” asks Goody looking at him with concern from behind, as she closes the door  reactivating the barriers and wards. Eyes wide staring in front of him Loc responds with a paranoid look on his face.  “ I am not going to lie to you Goody, I think our friendship is important enough for that. So I will let you know that I am slightly on nerve a bit finding a small town square on the 3rd floor of your nice, yet modestly built building.” Loc proceeds to sniff the air as he walks cautiously, “ And if my nose is not fooling me, there is a large swimming hole scented with jasmine and honey air up here.” “ You like it huh? Designed it myself when we first got started. Only a few aesthetic changes really since then.” Goody says beaming while grabbing Loc’s furry arm and leading him along to catch up with the others. “ Goody, I know first hand how fine a sorceress you are, but if you can do this you should be in Chersei’s Celestial Corps.! Hell, you’d be leading it!” “ Aaawww, how sweet of you to say that.” Goody coos while petting his furry arm she’s holding. “ What can I say Loc? I really like bits for tips”. Loc simply looks down at her for a bit and laughs following her lead to Sir Wordplay, and Chesterfield at her office door.

“ Glad to see your head clear up with that talk from Goody, cub. Because we need to talk.”  Sir Wordplay telepathically says toward Loc. He enters through the (one..two...three….four…!) barriers leading into Goody’s office space as Chesterfield holds the door open for the  group. Bowing at Chesterfield’s constant professionalism and invitation, Wordplay enters the Winthrop’s domicile. Loc and Sir Wordplay never knew if the permanent telepathic connection they have is due to Wordplay being his Ancestral Spirit, or if possibly by his necromancy magic somehow.  Either way, as annoying Loc thought it can be at times having literally two voices in his head, it most definitely helped serve the purpose of keeping him alive. “ Took a moment to adjust, but a cat always lands on his feet. I am still all in to doing this job, whatever it is.” Loc replies to Wordplay “ Hah, good! This is literally the job of a life time, and since I’ve lived more than a few, I know what I am talking about. I just wanted to make sure we had an understanding on a few things while we still have time.”  “ Of course my most honorable and respected Elder.  Please show me the enlightened path you see so clearly before I.”  Loc sarcastically thinks while rolling his eyes for dramatic affect. “ Ya momma cub, but I’m gonna lead your ass anyway. For one thing, with us now knowing now Goody did all of this, she is clearly way more than we thought she was; magic wise. In that same vein, it stands to reason her dearest spouse is more than he appears as well. That’s including the fact he is able to speak for the Queen. ”  “ Damn, you guys have a beautiful space Chesterfield.” Wordplay says while walking by Chesterfield looking at the oceanic view with the sunrise in the distance. “Wait a minute, why am I not burning to my death?” Wordplay says almost to himself in shock, while he looks for the nearest shaded area. “ Well as you may have noticed- ” Chesterfield starts as Loc and Goody come through the entrance for him to close “ - the space is protected by several magical barriers. One of them keeps certain free-forming types out of our place without invitation. Apparently, one of the side effects to this is if one of them is invited it protects them from the consequences derived by direct sunlight. ” “ A ghost-proof and safety house, all in one. That must have been that last barrier I felt.” Wordplay thinks amazed, while walking towards the large balcony with the first sunset he has see in decades. “ Goody is amazing, cub. I think I may love her now. ” thinks Wordplay to Loc. “ I could understand why Elder. Knowing how amazing she is magically, yet the person she is at heart is still humble. I almost feel lucky to consider her friend. ” “ Ayy. ” Wordplay says while he places his hand towards the glass, wishing to feel the warmth from the sun.  His mind playing cruel tricks on him, he could almost swear.... “You CAN, elder. Since you’ve walked in you have been as solid as any other living thing I have placed eyes on.” Loc  says with a smile to his elder while pushing his hand with his on the sun warmed glass. Chesterfield quietly walking towards his wife grabs her hand while kissing her forehead tenderly. If those two near the window only knew she had modified the spell just a bit earlier this evening when leaving the warmed bath she had prepared for herself. “ Simply because she wanted her friend to enjoy the comforts of her home and feel happy. Darkness, I am truly blessed.” Chesterfield thinks while letting the two families enjoy this moment separate, yet completely together.

Chapter 5


“ Please take a seat anywhere you would like.” Chesterfield offers after their moment of silence, pointing Loc and Wordplay towards his living area furniture. Wordplay, eyeing the large armchair next to the drinking case close to the fire pit, dashes over, plumping into the seat soundly. He looks at  the drinking case, and then towards Chesterfield with hope in his eyes. “ Please Sir Wordplay, enjoy yourself with this special gift you’ve received this day. Within reason of course sir. We do need you fairly level-headed this day at least.” “ Aya, don’t worry I am a consummate professional when it comes to being on the work clock. Just a glass. Maybe three. Promise.” Wordplay says licking his lips with his thick Felis tongue while his ears perk up with the choices of delight he has in front of him.  Loc shakes his head in amusement, but dares not ruin the fun of his Elder this day. Wordplay deserves himself a day of drunken revelry all things considered. " Cat’s paw who knows when he’ll ever receive this chance again." Loc King thinks sitting in the large couch directly in front of the fire pit allowing him to fully stretch his arms and legs, while Goody and Chesterfield settle in the lover’s seat next to him. Chesterfield speaks, “ Thank you again for accepting this work before hearing the current details. I would be remiss however, in not giving you those details now. Queen Chersei is needing you to leave Lagina Atlas and find a particular person. We don’t know exactly where they are now, but we know the general area to start looking around, we believe. Your job will be to find this person, and bring them to Queen Chersei herself. Do this and all will be rewarded to you as promise. Any questions so far?” Chesterfield says while sitting somewhat intimately with Goody so she may lay her head slightly on his chest and shoulders. “ Clearly we know who runs their  domain; Chesterfield being the epitome of appropriate behavior or not.” chuckles Wordplay in his mind as he takes his second deep sip of his drink in hand. He then says out loud, “ If you know where this person generally is, why not simply send message to have delivered to them?” Chesterfield nods replying, “ That is because this person would never allow to have anything delivered to them from official sources. Let alone something specifically from Queen Chersei herself. Jayvenn will not initially want to come back.” “ Who exactly is this Jayvenn?” asks Wordplay.  “ That is none of your concern.” Chesterfield says as if the question was simply insignificant. “ You fucked right? You don’t think it matters that we know who the person you want us to catch is?” Loc says gingerly. “ No. You need to know where they could be currently. You will need to know pertinent information on their abilities. You will even need to know the possible ways you have to bring Jayvenn to Queen Chersei." Chesterfield looking at both Wordplay and Loc continues “ Knowing who they are is not necessary, or needed for completion of the task at hand.” “ That’s foreboding as hell isn’t it? Now we definitely need to find out who Jayvenn is.” thinks Wordplay to Loc, finishing his 2nd drink. “ Agree completely Elder. Seems you may have a lot of work ahead of you this time. You might actually earn part of your half for once.”  “ Very well.” says Loc nodding his head, “ You said we can receive info, and to know how to bring Jayvenn back to Queen Chersei, ya? Can we find out that Intel now, or do we wait for bits and pieces as the trip progresses?” “ Very deep indeed.” Chesterfield impressed again thinks to himself, noting to no longer underestimate his Lionus friend.


    “ You are correct Sir Loc King, so here's what I shall tell you at the moment. First, it will not be just you two working to find Jayvenn. Ulong Tea has also been tasked to assist you in this endeavor. I myself will be directly heading out with you to find Jayvenn as well. Since I am the only one who will be able to identify them once found. More importantly I maybe the only one to make them come back with us.” “ Maybe? Make?” questions Wordplay with a tone of concern. “ As I stated before, they initially will not want to come back to Lagina Atlas.  More so, not at the beckoning of complete and armed strangers. My being there will afford a degree of importance, and calm to the situation. Jayvenn will also understand that my presence there is the Queen Chersei’s presence. Now whether that fact will make the task harder or not, that’s based on Jayvenn and their mood.” Loc nods “ Fair enough. Having the official do elf of the Queen makes sense to give status reports, receive updates, bring me food, and such. I feel it. My following question then is what are the abilities we need to know of Jayvenn?” The way Loc says this last part, makes a small part in Chesterfield’s brain, the most  instinctual part say “ The predator is awake now. The Lionus wants to hunt!”

Chesterfield clearing his throat replies “ Yes, well Jayvenn is a very well trained fighter. I doubt there are  truly two handfuls of beings in the known realms who could be Jayvenn's equal. Let alone beat them one on one. Which is one of the reasons in deciding to hire a bowman of well renown. For long distance capturing purposes, if need be.” “ Yes, IF need be.” Wordplay sarcastically thinks to Loc mid way to completion of his third drink.                  “ Remind me to take a look at my equipment, and  stock up on arrows and bolts before we leave on this job. At that one specialist shop with the handmaid I like.” Loc mentally replies back, while actually taking a slight glance towards Sir Wordplay’s direction. “ You’re gonna have to get use to being outside my-” “I know.” Wordplay replies somberly.  “ Why do you think I am enjoying myself so much on the drink this morning? You know when I lived true life, I was never a drunkard like this. My hackles are straight up cub.” “ Yah.” Loc agrees his gaze back towards Chesterfield and Goody. “ It seems Chesterfield wasn’t lying about completion or death at all.”
