A review by saif42
Young Avengers Omnibus by Jamie McKelvie, Matthew Wilson, Kieron Gillen
3.0
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.
