Young Avengers, Volume 1: Style > Substance by Kieron Gillen

3.0

I only read this b/c I love Gillen and McKelvin's Phonogram so much! Also the Bryan Lee O'Malley cover hooked me. I will say, this works really well as an introductory volume--I was only familiar with one of the characters (Kate Bishop) but felt like I understood enough of everyone's backstory for it to make sense. The overarching plot is fine and I like the art, it's just not really enough to make me interested in reading more of these superheroes. I'm not particularly interested in superheroes though.
