REVIEW: Young Justice – Season 4: Phantoms, Episode 18, “Beyond the Grip of the Gods!”
*SPOILERS* “Beyond the Grip of the Gods!” begins Rocket’s story arc with a bang in more ways than one. The episode’s first scenes show us a day in the life of Rocket and her autistic son Amistad. He obsesses over details like the arrangement of his toy cats, he can’t ha...

*SPOILERS* “Nautical Twilight” opens with various heroes mourning Conner’s passing. As Kaldur struggles to accept the finality of this tragedy, Dick encourages him to take time to process the loss. Kaldur declines, saying he will be fine because he has to be. Orm plots in the backg...
