Young Avengers, Vol. 1: Style>Substance by Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen

This first volume in the Young Avengers series was so much fun to read, especially the brilliant cast of characters. I loved all of the characters in this volume especially Loki, I think we all have a soft spot for him. Before reading this I didn't realise it would be a continuation of the original Young Avengers series and having not read the original series I feel like I have missed out on a lot of the characters' backgrounds, especially Billy and Teddy. But, by no means does that mean that you can't read this series without having read the original ones because the series is completely its own and stands by itself.

I loved the dialogue between the team, it was so witty and funny and just really well written. I feel like the dynamic of a group of teenagers was captured really well but also at the same time, you could see the dynamic of a group of superheroes. The artwork is incredible and is so detailed, I absolutely loved it, I would make sure to be thorough with every single frame so I didn't miss a single detail.

The plot of this series sounds so bizarre especially when you find out who the villain is but it is just so clever and smart and played out so well. I really, really enjoyed this and cannot wait to start the second volume.
