billyteddy breakup

was weird as hell too!!? that panel of david saying

“i’m bi. never said that out loud”

was maybe better than everything else in this volume combined

okay let me preface this by saying i am a MASSIVE young avengers fan. like my twitter handle is literally @kaplanaItman level fan. i have vol 1, empyre, and west coast avengers sitting on my shelf rn. i am in love with these kids i would do anything for them.

and this was…….. hm. it did all of them so dirty. the plot is meh, the art is bad (except noh-varr looks REALLY good here for some reason. i think it’s impossible for him to look bad), half of the og members are missing…… only redeemable part for me is my hot sexy dumb ass space boyfriend noh-varr god i love him. everything else can go
