madgirl 's review for:
Young Avengers, Volume 1: Style > Substance
by Kieron Gillen
My current favorite comic. Gah. When I read the first issue I was just stupidly excited, between the fantastic art, the relevant pop culture references, the humor, the realistic teen voices, the tumblr stand-in recaps...
It also isn't a bad jumping in point for someone new to comics (I recently gifted it to a friend who wanted to read a young adult comic), even though there is SOME backstory that would make it make more sense. (And I've read both the previous Young Avengers as well as Kid Loki's Journey Into Mystery run.)
I adored Kieron Gillen already, and I think that this book really plays to his strengths. The first story arc is interesting and very appropriate to older teens. The Young Avengers are young adults now, and this is about them growing up.
