Young Avengers, Vol. 1: Sidekicks by Allan Heinberg

4.0

I really enjoyed the Young Avengers when I read their arc during Marvel's Civil War, and I found that reading their story from the beginning was wonderfully entertaining and worthwhile. The idea sounds horrible--it's about a bunch of (what looks like) teenage sidekicks who show similar powers and costumes to the recently disbanded Avengers. However, as this volume goes on, we learn more about the true nature of each of their powers and how they connect to the Avengers team. I also really enjoyed the running fear that their parents will find out. This volume is just an introduction to their story, and I'm very excited to read all about their journeys.

For: fans of superheroes/comics; readers wanting an original storyline that they can keep up with; readers wanting younger heroes to follow (they're quoted from 14-16 here).

Possible red flags: characters in peril; violence; language; blood; death; hostage situations.
