The story so far:

Once upon a time there were three friends: Thunderhead, Monstergirl, and Off-Ramp. One day, during a car race, Off-Ramp met a brave young man named Hard Drive, who convinced him through somewhat dubious means that they should all form a super-hero team together. Hard Drive brought some acquaintances of his own to the group, two nice young people named Bonfire and Junior, and one sort of cold guy named frostbite. The team had a few exciting adventures together, and soon grew to fee that they were ready to participate in the next company crossover. In any rate in no time at all, a couple of the YOUNG HEROES started eyeing each other with impure thoughts, and it taxed Hard Drive's mind control abilities to their limit keeping his teammates out of each others costumes.

As you can imagine, this was pretty exhausting for everyone. So last issue they took a week off, and went to work and stuff.

Except for Off-Ramp, who's got a hell of a confusing life. - YHIL Lettercolumn

Plot Summary:

Scary stuff in this issue kids! The Dark Knight's old sparring partner, the Scarecrow, has gotten loose from Arkham one more time! Desperate to have the situation wrapped up quickly, the government looks in the phone book for some "super" help. Faster than you can say "Dial H for Heroes" the gang springs into action against the Master of Fear himself! It's non-stop spine-tingling thriller-diller action this time! Can the Young Heroes overcome their own deepest fears and rally under the banner of justice to save the day? You bet they can!

Unanswered Questions:

• He's got the birthmark, does "Baby" Sloan have his fathers powers?
• Was it the agents acting alone, or the Senator that released the Scarecrow? Who is "that little Genghis"?

Did You Notice:

• The broken coffe cup with the little foot prints? (p.10)
• The YHIL production schedule burning in hell? (p.15)
• "You should have looked a bit more carefully -- at least in ZipKid's case. Look much more carefully at "Satan." He has the face of her boyfriend. She is not afraid of going to hell. She is afraid she is already there." Spooon - rec.arts.comics.dc.universe
• While most of his teammates were worried about loosing contol of their powers, this never occurs to Hard Drive. His fear is that not that he will use his power irresponsibly (big surprise), instead it's that he will not be able to help his friends when the chips are down. He might be an obsessive mind-controling freakboy, but it's important to remember that he's a good guy.

The Creators Speak:

• "For example, in issue #8, I think, Dev said, "I'm really psyched to do the Scarecrow." You know, the old Batman villain So, I was like -- Scarecrow -- all right. So I did the Scarecrow."
