mossyforest 's review for:
Young Avengers, Volume 1: Style > Substance
by Kieron Gillen
I loved this book! Finally I have found I Marvel book I can get into. The Marvel books I have picked up so far have always fallen a bit short, however this one really delivered. I loved all of the characters. They felt like real teenagers, but at the same time were really developed characters, despite this being the first time I have come across them and this book only being 5 issues long.
Started reading this book on the bus #damnitlokiyoumadememissmystop
I don't want to give too much away but I really loved the plot. There are so many instanced in these stories of young characters who have lost their parent it was great to see that idea played with. And Loki's meddling in the whole thing was great. It will be interesting to see where that goes.
The art work is superb. McKelvie's ability to draw even very subtle expressions so clearly communicates emotion and a character's thoughts where there isn't time for large amounts of text. The breakdown of the panels throughout the book made the pages visually interesting and lent themselves to the narrative.
Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope that my local library can locate the second volume.
