I'm so, so bummed that this isn't getting renewed. Ugh.

(read as single issues)ugh, mad this is cancelled! This series was so goofy and weird and smart about reality television tropes! I love those things!

2.5 stars"This sucks. Also, I have a headache. Does anyone else have a headache?" - Quentin 'Kid Omega' Quire"Well, you're talking . . . so . . . yes." - Gwendolyn 'Gwenpool' PooleWhile West Coast Avengers, Vol. 1: Best Coast was no classic, I recall that it admittedly had its charms - as Kate 'Hawkeye' Bishop will always be a winning heroine - and often worked as a pretty good lightweight action-comedy with its newly-assembled squad of young superheroes. Unfortunately, their follow-up adventure...

Thompson sort of ties up some of the loose ends from her previous Hawkeye series as we finally get some rushed answers about Kate's mom, although both of her parents' stories (and Madame Masque's) are unresolved. There's not a whole lot of cohesion between the story lines and that may be part of why I think this series was just OK. Outside of Quentin Quire and Gwenpool, I was largely uninterested in the team even though I liked most of these characters in previous series. I guess Marvel was just...

The West Coast Avengers continue to bounce off each other wonderfully here, creating one of the more amusing squads found in Marvel Comics. However, whilst the characters can be praised almost to the heavens and back, the same cannot be said about the plot which is meh at best. None of the villains feel threatening, coming off more like a random pick 'n' mix combo that doesn't mesh well because you hurriedly put it together without much thought. Even worse than the flat villains is the ending cl...

I’m heartbroken that this fantastic and lighthearted team book, assembled almost completely of favorite characters after their solo title cancellations, has also been cancelled. Even though this volume fell into the same pitfalls as Thompson’s Kate Bishop Hawkeye series (more on that in a moment), she still brought together a diverse team that deserved far more than just two volumes.This ragtag team may have individuals from disparate books, but it still manages to feel like a cohesive group – d...

I have a mighty need for a Jeff plushie.And if this series doesn't get picked back up again after War of the Realms I'm going to be severely disappointed.

Why did they have to go and cancel this book?? It found a near-perfect balance of quirkiness, humor, and serious and every issue was so fun to read. I really hope that we get to see Thompson get another shot with these characters somewhere down the road. She did so much great ground work and for a series that got cut sort, ended it really well. I wish Marvel would just give these types of books more of a chance! 4.5 out of 5.

This series continues to be the super fun misadventures of our misfit superhero team. Thompson delivers some engaging writing, and the art is consistently enjoyable. The story gains some added complexity here, but it all holds together quite well. Plus, we get Jeff the landshark which is worth celebrating entirely on its own.The banter, the adventure--this is a title that embraces its own oddness and uses the quirk to its own advantage. It's a pity that it got cancelled, but the abrupt ending fi...

This was soooo much fun!!!no one is straight in this and im here for it

My babies deserve more than ten issues... This was seriously top notch entertainment and full of fun and heart. I'm gonna miss my supergroup of misfits. Thank you Kelly for not disappointning!

This was good. This volume takes the energy and fun from volume 1 and kicks it up a notch. Now-Var let’s the team know about this cult that he believes are skrulls . The team comes up with a plan to infiltrate. Of course the plan goes belly up as they discover they are not Skrulls but something else entirely. Now a rescue mission is in order. Love the silly, not taking ourselves too seriously, approach to this series . I had a blast reading it. Shame this didn’t continue.

I seem to have a knack for falling for Avengers runs that are way underappreciated. I first found Kate Bishop in Young Avengers. A book that really doesn't get the credit it deserves. I blame the name, sounds like it's for babies when they actually mean 18-22 year olds. I adore Kate Bishop. I also loved her solo run, that also got ended too soon. Kate Bishop Hawkeye is where I really solidified by adoration of author Kelly Thompson. She has a real talent for dialogue and for making each characte...

Clint trying and failing to really mentor Kate, who leads the West Coast Avengers, which includes super powerful America, who's dating the sister of Fuse. Add Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, Noh Varr and a little land shark; then throw in a reality TV show and lots of talking head interviews.. not brilliant but nice and quirky and different... adn Marvel just gives it 10 issues before cancelling it! Imagine how many great books would have never existed if they were only given their first 10 issues to g...

Another series cut criminally short, the West Coast Avengers' adventures end in this second volume as Kelly Thompson does her best to resolve all the plotlines she set into motion while also bringing some closure to outstanding character relationships by reintroducing Marvel Boy to Kate Bishop's life. Fuse and his sister get some much-needed focus, while Gwenpool and Quentin Quire become your favourite ship without even meaning to.Meanwhile, Kate's mother and Madam Masque make their return in an...

This actually wrapped up fairly decent for being cut off so soon. I wish we could have gotten at least one more volume out of this title, but I'm hoping to see the team somewhere else soon. Oh, and I'm completely here for Noh and Johnny. Do ship! 5/5 stars.

This title continues to be a pleasing blend of action, comedy, and young adult relationship drama. Kelly Thompson writes it just light enough to be entertaining, but not to the point where it's too goofy to be taken seriously.Significant figures from Kate’s past show up, which should thrill readers of Thompson’s Hawkeye series. Me, I didn't even know that there was such a series until I saw the ad page inside the back cover of this volume. Might have to see about tracking those down …Still diggi...

Sadly, the end of the new West Coast Avengers, as Marvel continues to prove unable to put out comics for longer than a year or two (or 10 months in this case).The first story is typical for the WCA to date. They fight a whole Legion of foes, but the story is saved by great character pieces, with Gwen and Quire being particular stand-outs.Fortunately, the second story, of the battle with the Cult of the Shifting Sun, is a step up. To start with, we get Marvel Boy back, making WCA into almost a Yo...

Man, this run was ended way too soon. While I enjoyed the first volume, I positively devoured the last couple of issues. It felt like this iteration of the West Coast Avengers had finally found its stride - along with a distinct feeling of comfort and camaraderie among all of the members. We learned just where that vibranium jewelry came from and how it came to be in Fuse's possession, along with just how much Ramone cares about dear America. We learned more about Kate's mother, that forever tho...

This was a light-hearted, enjoyable read, but unfortunately it ends all too abruptly, having been canceled with issue # 10 due to low readership. The first three issues of this volume deal with the team being captured by Madam Masque and put through a sadistic theme park designed to break their spirits, and the second half of the book sees the return of Marvel Boy, who recruits the team to investigate a cult he believes are being run by Skrulls. The stories are fun, the team interactions are alw...
