I loved this graphic novel. I haven't loved a bunch of comic characters this much in ages. Every single one of them was enjoyable to read and connect to. 

Seeing such prominent representation of queerness was the highlight for me.
having nearly the whole team admit to being non-straight to me was super important. It's normalises the idea of sexuality as a spectrum and that its okay to float whereever you want to and kiss whoever you want too as long as youre both consenting happy
 

This book made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me sit on the edge of my seat anticipating the next moment. 

I truly loved this book and will revisit it in the future most definitely. I hope we have a good adaption of these characters in live action form. The MCU's Kate Bishop and America Chavez will most certainly be amazing together and will surely have a lot of comedic moments. I wonder what teenage wiccan, speed, and Loki will be like. I also wonder if they'll bring in the other characters. I just want Hulkling and Wiccan on my screens being all cute and gay. Superhero heartstopper yes please. 😍🥺

Definitely want to read more Young Avengers comics after this one! I loved all the characters so much, and Billy and Teddy are just amazing together.

Young Avengers has made me fall in love with comics! The design, the characters, & the story is just so much fun. It goes beyond your traditional comic strip layout, and I really loved how creative some of the panels were! I’ll be honest, I did get a bit lost in the ending there, but overall it’s just a really fun read (and I’m very much here for the characters). I did jump from reading the first YA run to this latest one, so I am probably going to go back and read the older ones which could help with some details. I can't believe this is almost 10 yrs old, it def feels like it could’ve been just published! 

Also, I love how the acronym is YA and the genre/ age group is also Young Adult (YA). I think YA continues to be my favourite genre (also one reason I loved the new spiderman movies so much), and so I’m so glad I read Young Avengers. It also seems like they are setting it up to potentially have the YA together in the MCU, but there’s just smt about the comics I think that’s so great & idk if it will be replicated the same on screen.

I would die for the young avengers.

I heard so many good things about the young avengers and I was certainly not disappointed. They’re diverse, they’re GAY, I like all of them. I think I do like this run a little bit better than the first one, but I mean, America Chavez is in this one. The plot wasn’t super confusing (some other comics are so hard to follow).

Like even the panels and everything were colorful and rainbow ???? BEAUTIFUL.

I love this comic it’s amazing and beautiful and im actually so afraid about what the mcu is going to do with the young avengers but-
