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-

I would die for these kids. Billy and Teddy are everything! This edition really embodies the whole concept of teenage superheroes through and through. It's fast paced with some nice nods to pop culture and cleaver meta weaved through the panels of gorgeous artwork- all coming together to tell a flawless story.

This is the gayest, most Tumblr oriented comic I have ever read.


So now that I have read Gillens Young Avengers I finally know what so many terrible Marvel writers are failing miserably at emulating and I gotta admit, I can see why. For the most part, the style, humour, and tone is genuinely cool. The characters are interesting and develop amazingly (Except for America who is still the worst character in comic book history). The action scenes are ok but have some excellent moments too. The art is good but I admit it gets worse towards the end when other artists jump on the final couple of issues.

Its not perfect though. The references are a little too much. I don't care if Loki watches Game of Thrones or if Kate Bishop has read Scott Pilgim. The issue intros can be kind of lame, and the plot is terribly convoluted (an interdimensional parasite that "adults" can't resist but teens can fight. Yikes.). America Chavez continues to be terribly one-dimensional, which is ironic because her whole thing is she travels through dimensions.

Overall pretty good. Recommend if you like LGBT+ comics, teen superheroes, teamup books, Loki, and Tumblr.

I loved the characters a lot and there were so many interesting style choices made that I really loved. I wanted to give this 5 stars, but if I’m being honest I think the plot could have been better/more interesting.

AHHHH! This was so good! I don't really have any bad things to say about this, it had amazing art, characters, and relationships. Everyone on the young Avengers is LGBT and it's honestly so amazing to see Marvel taking that step. Even if Noh-Varr's sexuality is only mentioned in passing the whole team is still not straight except for maybe Eli and Cassie. But the storyline was great and I didn't find myself confused like a normal marvel plotline. 10/10

honestly i didn’t really understand much in general but i liked that the adults were the villains (i hate adults) and that none of the young avengers were straight
