Coldhearted

Episode 20 of YOUNG JUSTICE, i.e. "Coldhearted" airs tomorrow (Saturday, March 10th) on Cartoon Network and repeats on Sunday. Check local cable guides for times.

Please do check it out. It puts the spotlight on Kid Flash, and I think it turned out great.

YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #19 ("Misplaced") Credits

So... aren't we off to a good start?!

Can a man simultaneously be sarcastic and not?

Anyway, I was mostly thrilled with the premiere of DC NATION, but obviously frustrated that CN attached the WRONG episode's credits. So without further ado:

YJ'S BACK, BABY!!

Yes, that's right. "Misplaced", the nineteenth episode of YOUNG JUSTICE, aired today on Cartoon Network.

If you missed it - or just want a second look - it will rerun tomorrow on Cartoon Network. Check local listings for times.

Demons

I believe a demon has possessed my alarm clock.

I believe this demon to be related to the demon that already possesses my bathroom scale.

I do not believe I can be shaken from these beliefs.

MECHA-NATION

Anyone out there remember MECHA-NATION, the three-issue comic book mini-series created by Victor Cook, developed by Vic, Greg Guler & myself, written by me and drawn by Antonio Campo?

Cuz we FINALLY finished it!

The MARCH PREVIEWS will be out on FEBRUARY 29th and will contain order information for MECHA-NATION #1-3!!!

(That's right, if you missed the first issue, you'll now have the opportunity to get all three (the complete story) at once!!)

Make sure you friends and fans know about PRE-ORDERING as that will be important for us in getting the word and the book out to stores everywhere!

The book itself will be out in May.

It's a really fun story, and Antonio did a great job illustrating it! Check it out!!

WonderCon

I mentioned my upcoming (this summer) appearance at Denver Comic Con, but coming up fast (faster?) is WONDERCON.

Brandon Vietti and I will be appearing at WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday, March 17.

The tentative schedule incudes:

4:00-4:30 pm SIGNING
5:00-6:00 pm PANEL

So stop by!!

Some YJ Statistics...

Today we recorded (most) of Young Justice episode 220, i.e. the final episode of Season Two. We had a nice little cast party today, which is bittersweet, of course, since we don't know if we're merely taking a break with a pickup coming some day - or whether this is it.

By the time we've finally recorded everyone (probably sometime next week), this single episode will have TWENTY-FOUR voice actors in it. That's 24 actors playing 35 speaking parts. And those 35 speaking parts make up less than half of the 77 total characters that will (likely) appear in the episode.

Other stats (of interest only to the truly nerdy geek):

Across two seasons, we'll have used 91 actors to play all the speaking parts.

Season One had 179 name characters (not all of whom speak, of course) over its 26 episodes. (At least through the script stage. A few, like Catherine Cobert, may have been cut for time by the time the episodes aired, and I haven't recalculated for that.)

Season Two had 145 name characters over 20 episodes.

Together (i.e. if you merge both lists), the two seasons had a total of 241 name characters over 46 episodes.

Season Two scripts ranged between 30 pages long (episode 216) and 36 pages long (201 & 220).

Line counts ranged between 197 lines per script (203) and 255 (214).

Number of actors used per episode ranged between 6 (202) and 24 (220).

DENVER COMIC CON

Hey everyone,

I will be signing autographs, doing panels, etc. at the Denver Comic Con for their inaugural event on Father’s Day weekend June 15-17th. The weekend long con benefits Children’s Literacy through the Comic Book Classroom, a new program teaching children to read through comic books. They have already announced a legion of guests including Jasika Nicole, Michael Uslan, Mark Ryan, Tom Kane, Steven Seagle, Barry Kitson, Jason Aaron, James O'Barr, Gail Simone, Bob Layton, Georges Jeanty, Rebekah Isaacs and more! Hope to see you there, early bird tickets are only $45 for weekend passes.

We'll talk Young Justice, Gargoyles, Spidey, you name it!
