The heroes of the DC Universe find themselves separated by a mysterious force in the conclusion of the miniseries that introduces DC's newest super-team, Young Justice! Having said his magic word, Billy Batson is lightning-bolted to the AdultWorld, but much to his surprise he has not been transformed to Captain Marvel. On KidWorld, Robin, Superboy and Impulse go after the cause of all their troubles, the kid villain Bedlam. He's using the JLA's original cave headquarters as his stronghold, and to keep the youthful heroes away, he's using junior versions of the Joker, Metallo and Gorilla Grodd as guards. The JLA can't help the kids, and if the kids don't win, the two worlds will remain permanently separate. But the scariest thing is that the key to victory may lie in the hands of DC's most reckless youth...Impulse. Written by Todd Dezago. Art and wraparound cover by Mike McKone, Humberto Ramos, Mark McKenna and Paul Neary. FC, 48 pg. Prestige Format. Cover price $4.95.

The counter-culture private detective of the 1960s is brought to the '90s with a Vertigo twist. Jonny Double follows a heist gone wrong and its deadly consequences. When Jonny agrees to keep tabs on a rich man's wayward twentysomething daughter Faith, he becomes ensnared in a tangled web of deceit, murder and double-cross that pits his '60s idealism against '90s cynicism. When Jonny helps Faith and her friends with a get-rich-quick scheme involving a long-forgotten bank account belonging to Al Capone, they soon discover that the account wasn't closed after all...and that they've taken the money from someone very alive, very dangerous and very hot on their trail.
