3.0

Style > Substance is the first volume in Kieron Gillen's Young Avengers. After hearing so much good about this comic, I went in with pretty high expectations. While I don't think they were met, I can see why people get so excited about this title. Young Avengers features lovable characters, snappy dialogue, and dynamic artwork. The storyline, which is basically focused on bringing the team together, can feel a little contrived at times, but it does end up bringing us to some interesting places. It's impossible not to fall in love with kid Loki, a lovable trickster with hidden vulnerabilities, and I quite liked getting to know some of the new (to me) characters.

I will be checking out volume two of Young Avengers in the future.
