This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers.
Young Justice Season 4 Episode 21
I did not expect, in the dregs of this season of Young Justice, that I would at any point be standing up and cheering during an episode. But that’s exactly what happened when Tomar-Re sacrificed himself to save New Genesis from a big old pile of Kirby insanity, and then his ring chose Forager as his replacement.
That was awesome.
But that wasn’t the only standout moment. This whole arc was a gushing love letter to Jack Kirby, from the over-the-top episode titles to the date that the action took place – August 28, King Kirby’s birthday. This episode even has Lor-Zod recharging the phantom zone projector using Source energy from a boiling lake, and he inadvertently awakens a Promethean – the giant rock things that we saw in Kirby’s Fourth World comics chained to the Source Wall.
