3Wonder Comics is a Creator/DCComics imprint established in 2019. Founded by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis, Wonder Comics is a label focusing on younger superheroes and marketed at teen audiences, looking to capture the same market as comics like ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' and ''ComicBook/YoungJustice''. While the label is separate, all stories are fully in-continuity with the DC Universe.

5Its flagship title is none other than the return of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', after having been dissolved since 2003, just in time for the return of the [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 animated series sharing the same name]], and written by Bendis himself.
