I still find the story kinda confusing. it's so abstract. but the art is amazing. and the characters. and I'm a sucker for Billy and Teddy, so sue me (don't please)full review soon
Young Avengers Volume 2 is more of the same from the first volume, which is a great thing as the first volume (album?) was so good. The YA have been chased away from Earth by Mother, and are pursuing Patriot (who’s not really Patriot) who’s leading them on a merry chase between dimensions after taking their friend. I pointed it out in my review of the first volume but I love that the story of this series is basically teens fighting with parents and then running away from home, a fairly universal...
So, so good. If you haven't already read the previous Young Avengers series or Gillen's Journey into Mystery run, do yourself a favor and pick them up. I don't think you'll get nearly as much out of this Young Avengers series if you haven't. For those of us who come properly versed in the backstories, this is just good stuff. The characters, the story, the art, it all works together. I love how the characters feel like the teens they really are, and how the story works with them at their age. Ru...
This comic continues to be crazy, wacky, and totally readable. It's perhaps a bit too decompressed as we get through a whole TPB without much being revealed ... but it's really enjoyable to be strung along as you go. My favorite issue here was the first, dealing with Prodigy and Speed, but I enjoyed the rest as well and desperately want to read the next and (sadly!) last volume.
Not feeling it as strongly with this volume. Maybe I'm just feeling down or bloaty, so it may entirely be on me not on this collection, but all the inventive fresh stuff feels kinda stale to me - maybe because it's stuff I'm not that invested in. Like the arcane music references - just don't really care, tho I'm aware many will think this is the shit.Or the tumblr ripoff they're using for most of the intro pages - yay, it just feels a bit tedious to wade through all that layout for a few tidbits...
3.5 starsPretty cool, especially considering I walked into volume 2 without getting to read the first one.Big Thank You! to whoever orders comics for my library...So, somebody (something) named Mother has nefarious plans for this group of teenagers, and ends up leading them on a long wild goose chase throughout parallel universes. Wiccan and Hulkling were an interesting couple, as were Kate Bishop and Noh-Varr. I actually found Kate and Noh-Varr to be a bit cuter, since there didn't seem to be a...
i've only had the young avengers for a day but if anything happened to them, i would kill everyone in this room and then myself
Stan Billy Kaplan and his intergalactic prince fiancé Teddy Altman
3.5/5So, I was a bit dissapointed with this volume. Don't get me wrong, it's really good but after the strong end of volume one, I expected to like this even more and I liked a little less. The main problem is that the book starts with a whole issue that introduces two new (at least new for those of us who only have read the first volume) characters. There's David aka. Prodigy, a mutant who can collect skills and abilities from people and Tommy, who turns out is Billy's brother. And Tommy gets s...
I knew it!! I'm really enjoying this comic series. Sad I've only one more to go though.
Re-reading this series and this is even better than the first volume. This one made me want a live action Netflix show even more! The hints at their adventures in other universes wasn't enough for me. I wanted to see so much more of them interacting with the other versions of themselves. Marvel has never given me enough of the multiverse!I forgot how much I loved Kid Loki :) Also, it's such a shame America's solo couldn't bring the same magic that made me love this character. I keep wondering wh...
<3 Maybe I'll come back and write a review later. Right now I need to recover and buy the 3rd volume.
Alright, a slightly more comprehensible review now that it is not midnight!I love things about this comic. I really do. I'm interested in whatever the hell is going on with Loki, even though I still lack all the backstory for why he's a teen now. I love when it does weird, cool panels for different dimensions. And I could not be more thrilled with Prodigy joining the team and coming out as bi!Some criticisms, though:The whole mother parasite, proximity to parents makes them evil, must stay away
3.5/5 StarsI felt that this volume was a little bit better than the first volume. There is still plenty of action and the plot is definitely thickened up. Though I honestly may have more questions now that I did after reading the first volume. Trust was a big theme in this issue. Who can they really trust? Can they even trust each other? I am interested in seeing where this goes so on to the next volume for me.
Reread, March 7th, 2021Okay, regardless of what my updates may imply, I actually enjoyed reading this. I guess that knowing what happens makes the blow a little easier to bear. That doesn't mean I'm super happy, though: I still hate that this is the direction things had to take. I still enjoyed this considerably, as both writing and art are just superb. Original review:This one isn't only a dynamic set of issues on its own, it also sets the scene nicely for what's to come in the conclusion (conc...
(3.5) I enjoyed this, but I didn't love it as much as the first volume. The beginning portion dragged a bit, but it does get super exciting towards the middle. I think what makes this series so great is the characters. I've never felt strongly about any comic book character, but then the young avengers came into my life and changed that. THEY GIVE ME LOTS OF FEELINGS. I also really appreciated the unique panels throughout this trade. I like seeing people play with formats that have stayed the sa...
I start reading and find I've finished before I realize...then need to immediately keep reading more. Fellow comic geeks, drop all your current comparatively crappy books and start this one right now!
Loki as a kid is adorbs. Shame he becomes a dick later on, again, though not as evilish. Kind of. So this is the story of the young avengers going on more adventurousness trips. David, a mutant who lost his powers after House of M, decides to join the gang. Actually, he's kind of forced in to it all after something terrible happens to him and another guy. Then, well then it gets really confusing. Jumping through dimensions, visiting people who are young, but then older in our reality, it's wonky...

A lot of the issues I was having with the previous volume were smoothed over in here! I think this story has found its footing and it's actually pretty dang enjoyable! As ever, the characters continue to be some of my favorite (although I wish a couple, like America and Kate, got a little more attention), plus there were a couple new faces introduced who I reallllly enjoy. I feel like the alien Mother character/arc makes WAY more since now; I can't help but wish we had a little more insight into...
