If you are looking for a graphic novel with queer rep in it read this it's so good
This was a really solid first volume of a comic book series. It was easier to follow than probably any other comic I've read, which was nice. It introduced all the characters in a really natural way while still having its own plot. And it alludes to some sort of backstory that I'm intrigued to find out about it the next volumes. If you like Marvel but with a fun twist--the characters are all offspring of the Avengers--then I'd recommend it. Also Loki is great.
Ok, ok, ok! I get it now, guys! Because I'm me, and my library likes to order books is some wonky order, I had to read Young Avengers, Vol. 2: Alternative Culture, before I read this one.Big mistake. HUGE! Don't do it.Volume 2 didn't make me stand up and cheer (possibly because I was missing relevant plot points), but it wasn't awful, either. However, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why my friends were rating this one so highly.Aaaaaaand now I know...Style > Substance is nothing sho
You know how certain stories feature kids or teens in them because the storyteller somehow thinks that kids/teens won’t identify with the grown-up heroes and need someone relatable? That’s generally bogus – nobody wants to be Tom Cruise’s whiny kids in War of the Worlds, they want to be Tom Cruise. Nobody wants to be Jar Jar Binks or kid Anakin, they want to be Obi-Wan! Young Avengers somehow subverts that rule by making their teen characters the characters teens – and adults! - would want to be...
This was so good omg!It pretty much starts with Loki making plans to avoid some future outcomes meanwhile Billy brings Teddy's mom back or atleast a variant but turns out she is some mind control parasite and turns the parents against them or wants them to have their children come home and thus Young Avengers form once again and like avoid these mind control beings and whatever this new enemy is and its emotional for sure and kind of brings the bang back together and some members new and old and...
This was much better than I expected. We have kickass heroes, it's diverse and we even have my favorite God of mischief. Looking forward to seeing how this continues in later volumes.Defiantly recommend.
um i loved this and i just went to find volume 2 of the trade paperback and i can't find it ANYWHERE. i need it. i must find it. IT'S GOTTA BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
Such a light, fun, enjoyable read.
*3.5 starsReally interesting setup, and something I want to continue, but a bit more exposition could have been useful. Kind of hard to go into this one with no prior Young Avengers knowledge, which I definitely don't have. But I did super enjoy how diverse this was. Like yes!!!
CAN MARVEL PLEASE MAKE THIS SERIES INTO A NETFLIX SHOW OR SOMETHING I NEED ONE IN MY LIFE!!!Okay so this series was absolutely amazing!! This bunch of characters was such a brilliant mix and they all just worked really well together!I felt like it represented teenagers in a very accurate light; from game of thrones references to the tumblr style previously section at the start of every issue! They tackled and represented homosexuality, depression, racial diversity etc so so well and I really do
The more I think about this series, the more I absolutely hate it. I'm sorry. I know everyone else loved it, but I absolutely hated it. I started with Heinberg's run of Young Avengers, you know, the original, and fell in love with that. It was absolutely wonderful. There were diverse characters with interesting plot-lines, great chemistry, and so much life to them. It was wonderful. I was so excited to hear it was starting a new, and even that Kid Loki was being added. I was excited. I was so di...
Bullet Review:This was a lot of fun. Diverse characters (several women, one Hispanic, and then the most adorable gay couple), witty dialogue, some twists and turns. But mostly, it's the dialogue and the humor that I enjoyed - some of the finer plot points were lost on me.
Killer opener guys. Kick ass like a rock star. Past the opening credits, this feels nothing like the classic melodrama of "teenage angst" and a lot like a great adventure with young people who are still plenty fine with making a lot of mistakes (as long as it's in pursuit of their own selfish happiness). This I why you bring talented creators to Marvel - keep breathing fresh air into the worn-out stories.Rather entirely self-aware in the writing Mr. Gillen, and thank God for that. Sometimes we h...

So much fun. I love the Young Avengers in general (though, sadly, we're down a few from the original team) and I've really loved reading Kid Loki. Putting them all in one book, written by Gillen, who is clearly having the time of his life? Near perfection. Now, I didn't have a clue about Miss America, but I think I like her well enough from what I saw here. I'm grateful that Marvel is getting less squeamish about Teddy and Billy's relationship. They were always a cute couple, but they could go s...
three stars ∗ wow i loved every character and the artwork was fantastic!! i can’t wait to continue this series omg
Style > Substance. At once the title of this story arc, and a pretty good summing up of the series (so far). For while the visuals are eye-popping and the script is witty (and it does try oh-so-hard to be hip), the whole plot feels contrived and just an excuse to, um... assemble this new version of the team. But when you come to think of it, a lot of team books are like that. I guess now I just notice it more. That said, it is my favourite Kieron Gillen-written comic book, and I'm a BIG fan of J...
Re-read today for nostalgia reasons.This is still one of my all time favorite books! I love this team and this is a great re-introduction after the 2005 series. It gives such a great feel for each of the characters. The stuff with Billy is more moving the second time around. While I still don't quite understand why he thought back a version of Teddy would be a good idea he's a teenager. America, Noh-Varr and Kate are kick ass as usual. I really like and miss Kid Loki, to be honest. I really wish...
I've read this in the monthly floppies but reading this as a digital trade is the ultimate reading experience.I read this on an iPad on the Marvel app while playing on Spotify the recommended tracks of some key scenes and it was just awesome. The next thing I should do is to pick some recommended reading music from the playlist Kieron Gillen posted on his Tumblr. I have a feeling that would be a whole different reading experience.If you're a Gillen and McKelvie fan, you should get this.
Reread: March 6, 2021 At this point, Young Avengers has become one of my comfort reads. There's something that keeps me coming back to these stories and these characters, and it gives me a sense of family, a sense of home. The only downside is that I rush through it and I know it will be over before I know it. Original review:There's not much I can say about this series, that I hadn't said before. It's probably my favorite series ever, and Gillen's run is my favorite part (that man is a genius,
