Newsarama has a brief interview with Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani, the writers behind the new Young Justice comic and the soon-to-end Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam title. Given their work on Billy Batson one may be forgiven for thinking that the YJ comic is in the same theme, but we already know from the SDCC Panel that the comic will be in continuity with the cartoon and that the cartoon skews towards the young teen market.
“This is just about the Young Justice team. Their stories,” Baltazar said. “The comics take what happens on the show and we expand on the stories you’ll see on TV.”

While Tiny Titans and Billy Batson were both aimed at a very young audience, the writers said Young Justice will be appropriate for kids of any age, but particularly teens.
“The cartoon falls somewhere between what they were doing with Justice League Unlimited, which felt more adult, and Teen Titans, which felt younger. This leans more toward Justice League, but with teenagers,” Aureliani said.
The new title will feature art by Mike Norton who also worked on the Billy Batson title. It should be out in November to coincide with the cartoon’s launch on Cartoon Network.
