Unpublished stories Edit

There were originally intended to be five or six more issues released prior to the comic being rebranded Young Justice: Invasion to match the second season of the show,^[1] which would have been set during season one. However, since the show had already reached the second season, DC wanted the comic to move forward sooner. Writer Greg Weisman wanted the rebranded comic to launch with a big story featuring the whole Team, so the planned stories for those issues were shelved and issue #20 became the first issue of Young Jusice: Invasion, with plans to return to them later on in the run.^[2] With the comic's cancelation after issue #25, the final issue in the arc begun in issue #20, those stories currently look set to go unpublished. However, Greg has revealed some details about two of those stories:

• Greg had originally planned issues #20 and #21 to be a two-part story involving the Arrow family, set after "Revelation".^[2] It would have been the Earth-16 version of the DC Showcase: Green Arrow short film he wrote, featuring Green Arrow, Black Canary, Merlyn, Count Vertigo, Henchy and Perdita; as well as involving Artemis, Red Arrow and his role as an unwitting mole, and the death of Perdita's father.^[3]
• A two-part Marvel family origin story had also been planned, which would have introduced Billy's best school friends: Freddy Freeman (Lieutenant Marvel), Kit Freeman and Mary Bromfield, as well as Shazam.^[3][4]
• The creators also talked about using the Batman villain Scarecrow at some point.^[4]
